Vicor, in partnership with Future Electronics, will demonstrate this advanced data center cooling technique and its benefits at Embedded World (26-28 February 2019) in Nuremberg Germany. High-performance computing applications create excessive heat and while conventional air cooling is an option, greater system efficiency is delivered using advanced cooling techniques like liquid immersion cooling. Some of the most advanced processors to date operate in immersion cooling, mitigating the thermal limitations of traditional air-cooled systems.

On the Future Electronics stand (Hall 3 / 3-225), Vicor will have on display its latest Power-on-Package solution for high-performance CPUs/GPUs immersed in Fluorinert™, the 3M product designed for liquid-immersion cooling and will highlight the power/thermal performance advantages.

What is liquid immersion cooling?

Liquid-immersion cooling is a practice by which electronic components are submerged in a thermally conductive dielectric liquid, like Fluorinert™, by 3M. Eliminating air cooling for immersion cooling enables higher performance, higher density, and a reduction in power usage effectiveness (PUE). Immersion cooling maintains power devices at a cooler operating temperature than typical air-cooled systems. Lower operating temperatures can eliminate the need for heat sinks and increase system reliability.

See a live demonstration of immersion cooling at Embedded World on February 26-28, 2019, Future Electronics location, Hall 3 / 3-225.
