Castrol, a renowned lubricant company established in 1899, has evolved over the years to focus on developing innovative solutions for modern challenges. Recently, the company has delved into the realm of immersion cooling, where servers are submerged in non-conductive fluids to dissipate heat, eliminating the need for traditional cooling methods.
At their state-of-the-art facility in Pangbourne, UK, known as the Castrol ON Liquid Cooling Centre of Excellence, the company conducts extensive research on liquid cooling technologies. Collaborating with industry partners like GRC and Submer, Castrol aims to revolutionize thermal management in data centers by offering advanced dielectric fluids like the DC15 and DC20. These solutions not only enhance performance but also significantly reduce power and water consumption, marking a crucial step towards sustainability in the tech industry.
With data centers currently accounting for a substantial portion of global power consumption, Castrol’s foray into immersion cooling aligns with the company’s vision to be a leader in cutting-edge liquid cooling solutions. By spearheading this transformation, Castrol is poised to redefine the future of thermal management in data centers, cementing its position as the go-to partner for the evolving needs of the industry.
