After sinking a complete data center, Microsoft is now also experimenting with immersing a server rack as a cooling method.
This is done by placing the server in a bath that is filled with coolant. This non-conductive fluid based on fluorine and carbon boils at 50 degrees Celsius.
The heat generated by the components is very efficiently transferred to the liquid, which boils and releases its heat when condensing.
This ensures a closed system, in which the condensed liquid drips back into the container.
This method is cost effective, because the servers can be placed closer together, which saves space. In addition, much less energy is required than for a 2-phase cooling system based on water.
There is no need for a pump to move the liquid through the tank, and the condenser does not need a cooler.
Traditionally, data centers are cooled with air, but an enormous amount of water is needed to cool this air.
Eliminating this water consumption significantly reduces the impact of a data center on the environment, according to the vice president of Microsoft's data center development group, Christian Belady.

Microsoft is now submerging servers into liquid baths
The cooling should improve performance and reliability while using less water.

Microsoft versenkt seine Serverfarmen in kochender Flüssigkeit
In Microsofts Datenzentren könnte es bald zum alltäglichen Bild werden, dass Server-Racks in einer siedenden Flüssigkeit gelagert sind. Man wäre damit das erste Unternehmen, das dieses Verfahren in der Größenordnung von Datenzentren zum Einsatz bringt.
