The issue with Fluorinert is not toxicity but a very high global warming potential.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoFluorinerts with very low global warming potentials have been invented since then.
- monetus 3y ago> Although Fluorinert was intended to be inert, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory discovered that the liquid cooling system of their Cray-2 supercomputers decomposed during extended service, producing some highly toxic perfluoroisobutene.[5] Catalytic scrubbers were installed to remove this contaminant. With that much constant heat, what chemical might be best/most practical I wonder. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novec_649 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novec_649 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoroether https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoroether
