Breaking the Ceiling: Exploring the limitations of immersion cooling
Rolf Brink, Promersion
As someone deeply immersed in the world of cooling technologies for data centers, I often find myself in conversations about the potential and limitations of immersion cooling. The very idea of submerging expensive and intricate electronic components in liquid to keep them cool sounds more like science fiction than a viable solution. But it is real and already making a splash. However, when I talk to industry colleagues and clients, a recurring theme I encounter is the perceived “ceiling” of immersion cooling. There's a notion that while it may be innovative, its capacities are limited and might not keep up with the ever-growing demands of modern computing.
