Frequently Asked Questions
Still got questions for us?
How can I try or test immersion cooling?
Depending on where you are in your immersion cooling adoption process, we can provide:
- Advice on where to start with the IT hardware
- Advice on how to implement a demo unit, pilot program, or full-scale deployment
- Design for the integration of immersion in your available space, taking advantage of your existing cooling methods with very little change to your infrastructure; or design for the integration of immersion for maximum efficiency
Can immersion cooling coexist with other cooling technologies?
Absolutely! Submer pods can take advantage of the existing cooling infrastructure or data.
If only air cooling is available, a local closed water loop is installed to release the heat into the room. Not the best option in terms of efficiency, but the easiest one in terms of capital investment if no water loop is available.
If a water cooling loop is available, whether it be chilled or warm water, just connect the immersion system to it. Or consider using the return water from your other water-cooled equipment, taking advantage of the ability to operate with higher water temperature.
Can immersion cooling be implemented progressively? What does a phased deployment look like?
Keep your capital investment to a minimum by leveraging your existing cooling infrastructure, whatever it looks like at the moment.
For example, considering the following steps could be useful for you:
- Implement Air Assisted Immersion Cooling (AAIC) to take advantage of your air cooling infrastructure, with no need for a water loop. Not the most energy efficient implementation, but probably the easiest one.
- Connect the immersion system to your existing chilled water loop by adding some pipework
- Connect the immersion system to the return of your existing chilled water loop
- Consider replacing your chillers with dry coolers in order to take advantage of the higher operation temperatures of immersion cooling
How long does it take to install Submer’s equipment?
Submer pods can be pre-integrated off site, which saves time during the installation phase. Provided all the interconnecting services are in place, setting up the equipment – mechanical, electrical and monitoring -, and filling it up with the immersion fluids takes 2 to 6 hours, depending on the number of pods.
What are the operations of an immersion-cooled datacenter like?
Submer’s products are designed to facilitate daily IT-related operations.
For a quick DIMM or power supply swap, the server just needs to be lifted to expose the target components. There is no need to deal with Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs).
For more elaborate operations, servers can be taken to a service room and easily dried off if preferred. Cabling-related operations are performed as you are accustomed to, thanks to our cable management features.
As for the fluid, expect scheduled checks to ensure it remains in perfect operating conditions. No fluid top-up or removal is required when extracting or inserting a few servers, or due to evaporation.
Submer offers comprehensive trainings and certifications to get your staff up to speed to safely operate your immersion-cooled datacenter.
