You mean immersion cooling? As long as the fluid isn't conductive you're good to go.
If you're interested, Alibaba has been doing some work along the lines of production immersion cooling.
- jamesblonde 8y agoYes, it's not my research - a colleagues. He has some big vats of oil. It's a sureal experience to see servers just being oil-boarded (can i say that? :) ) and coming out ok!
- dig1 8y agoCooling via oil insulation isn't something new - it is used for years inside high voltage transformers to keep temperature stable. What kind of oil are you using?
- polvs 8y agoI'd love to discuss your research. We've been working low-profile during the last years doing a lot of R&D and experimenting with different fluids and components. Mineral oil is ok for experimentation, but for long term material compatibility and fire risk I wouldn't recommend it. FWIW I co-founded https://submer.com https://submer.com where we've developed an all-embedded computing immersion cooling solution that is virtually compatible with any kind of hardware (even fiber optics) and it's orders of magnitude more efficient than traditional data center cooling technologies.
