The Benefits of Immersion cooling for general workloads
Space Efficiency
Immersion cooling means you fit more servers into less space, for high density in a reduced footprint.
Scale as You Need
Immersion cooling is the simplest way to more efficient cooling. Get rid of your existing air cooling infrastructure for a simplified and efficient cooling process.
TCO
Immersion infrastructure supports multi-vendor IT hardware refresh cycles, lowering operating costs. With immersion, free cooling and the ability to operate at higher temperatures means your datacenter is climate resilient.
Sustainable Operation
Reduce your Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and leverage heat reuse capabilities. Abide by net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and meet your sustainability goals.
Free cooling capabilities
Take advantage of free cooling by operating efficiently at high temperatures, in ambient conditions up to 45°C. Eliminate the need for chillers, and drastically reduce electricity and water usage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still got questions for us?
What kind of IT hardware can be used with single-phase immersion cooling?
Any IT hardware can be used with immersion cooling, except for unsealed HDDs. CPUs, GPUs, SSDs, sealed HDDs, PSUs, NICs and fiber optics are all suitable. Legacy servers require material compatibility checks, while immersion-born servers offer the best performance by fully leveraging immersion cooling benefits.
Why should I use immersion cooling if air cooling seems to be sufficient for my IT hardware?
Single-phase immersion cooling goes beyond just cooling – it enables free cooling and lowers energy consumption, saves space, and extends hardware lifespan by reducing wear. It also creates a quieter, safer environment for operators by eliminating noisy fans and reducing heat emissions. Additionally, it reduces maintenance needs, and minimizes failure rates, leading to long-term cost savings.
What changes to the operational procedures does immersion cooling require?
Single-phase immersion cooling introduces several operational benefits, such as a quiet work environment and easy access to all servers at the same height for in-rack serviceability, while maintaining the same structured cabling approach. On the other hand, handling of wet components and the preparation for RMAs involve using gloves, cleaning and drying components, or packing them in bags.
Does single-phase immersion cooling require significant changes to existing infrastructure?
Retrofitting for single-phase immersion cooling does not require significant infrastructure changes, but different levels of integration are possible. At the basic level, racks are replaced by pods while retaining existing power distribution and air-cooling infrastructure. For higher efficiency, CDUs can be connected to an existing or upgraded chilled or warm water loop, increasing power density and freeing up capacity thanks to lower energy consumption.
How does immersion cooling affect server lifespan?
Single-phase immersion cooling extends IT hardware lifespan by eliminating thermal, humidity, vibration, and dust-related stress. It prevents common failure points like solder joint fatigue and corrosion. Since heat is evenly dissipated across all components, there are no hotspots or temperature spikes, ensuring stable operation and reducing the risk of premature hardware failures.
Can immersion cooling be implemented in a hybrid environment alongside other cooling technologies?
Single-phase immersion cooling systems are highly flexible and can integrate with both chilled and warm water systems. They operate efficiently even at high fluid temperatures, without requiring cold room environments. This means immersion cooling can coexist with other cooling technologies without imposing limiting conditions on them – in fact, other cooling technologies can limit the benefits of immersion.
