Chemours has released a new range of fluids for two-phase direct-to-chip and immersion cooling systems for data centers.

The chemical company has launched its Faizeon dielectric fluids, which it hopes will give data center operators “highly efficient options that can support evolving system architectures and remove heat from high-power processors and servers.”

While most data centers using liquid cooling currently rely on single-phase direct-to-chip solutions, it is widely anticipated that a switch to two-phase, where server heat is absorbed by liquid, then vaporized, will be needed for future generations of powerful AI accelerators.

Chemours said its Faizeon 200 fluid maintained a GPU at up to 19°C (66°F) lower than a single-phase, water-based fluid, while using a lower coolant flow rate.

"AI's rapid growth is increasing the demands on data center infrastructure, and cooling is becoming a critical constraint," said Denise Dignam, president and CEO at Chemours. "With our liquid cooling solutions, we are applying more than 90 years of thermal management expertise to help data centers manage higher heat loads while improving performance and dramatically reducing energy and water demand.

“Our Faizeon liquid cooling team is collaborating across the data center ecosystem to bring together the expertise, testing, and support needed to confidently deploy two-phase liquid cooling at scale."

Chemours said it has worked with the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), NTT DATA, 2CRSi, DataVolt, Munters, Accelsius, and ZutaCore on the development of the fluid.

NYSE-listed Chemours spun out of another chemical firm, DuPont, in 2015. The company released air-cooled fluids for data center chillers earlier this year.
