We are Entering a New Era for Sustainable Data Centers
At Hypertec our goal is to stay ahead of the curve with innovative technology solutions. How do we do this? From forming stronger partnerships with software and hardware industry leaders, to hiring industry experts to consult and advise on solutions that will look to the future and anticipate the needs of our partners and customers.
What is Immersion Cooling?
Simply put, immersion cooling is a method adopted by data centers to quickly cool IT hardware by directly immersing it in a non-conducive liquid. The heat that is generated from the components used is then directly and efficiently transferred to the liquid. It offers the highest level of efficiency plus virtually unlimited capacity.
Future-Proofing the Industry
Data centers aren’t going anywhere. Data center demands are increasing. We are seeing continual changes in reach density, in both heat and power, to keep up with high performance computing (HPC) trends, which include Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and Machine Learning. The current solutions can only sustain the power requirements, heating production increase, and future flexibility for so long.

The Unrivalled Benefits of Immersion Cooling
Immersion cooling has a huge number of benefits, especially when it comes to sustainability and efficiency.
It significantly reduces the amount of water used, levels of carbon emissions, and much more.
Single-Phase Immersion Cooling VS Two-Phase Immersion Cooling
At Hypertec we use the single-phase Immersion Cooling technique. Both single and two-phase offer ease of location for data centers and do not depend on traditional infrastructure. When it comes to maintenance, typically, the single-phase immersion cooling technique requires much less maintenance and are much easier to access and repair if any adjustments may be needed.
Single-Phase Immersion Cooling
In a single-phase immersion cooling, servers are submerged in a thermally conducive dielectric liquid or coolant, which is a much better heat conductor than air, water, or oil. The coolant itself never changes state. With the help of a heat exchanger, heat is transferred to a cooler water circuit. The technique guarantees little to no risk of the coolant evaporating.
- Lower TCO
- 15-year coolant life
- Simple and safe to use
- Low complexity
- More efficient
- No raised floors or chillers
Two-Phase Immersion Cooling
Two-phase cooling servers are also submerged in the same coolant, heat is removed differently. With a low boiling point (50°C), the fluid boils and rising vapor takes care of the heat transfer. All circulation happens passively and naturally.
- Expensive liquid (>$90/L)
- Must be replenished every 2 years
- Not environmentally friendly
- Medium complexity
- Less safe to use
- Requires a lot more maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are frequently asked questions about Hypertec solutions and services. If your question is not answered below, please contact us.
You can submerge the following accessories without any modifications or risks.
- Network switches
- Network fabric (copper, single mode fiber)
Training staff is not much more complicated than managing the air-cooled servers. As it is a different platform, there will be a need for training which we can provide.
You can install liquid immersion cooling on both raised and concrete floors. Because immersion cooling tanks are placed horizontally, the weight is evenly distributed across the floor.
Yes. Our CIARA TRIDENT immersion servers can be customized to your specific workloads.
Although optical networking use is possible, it requires specialized optical cables and connectors.
The hydrocarbon fluid used in single-phased cooling do not evaporate and do not need to be replaced throughout the life of the data center.
The fluids are not expensive and have the added advantage of being environmentally sustainable.
Hydrocarbon fluids used for single-phased immersion cooling are synthetic fluids and should not be confused with mineral oils. Mineral oils can have imperfections or impurities and limit material compatibility. Synthetic fluids, on the other hand are manufactured on a molecular level, which creates a stable product, and offers superior performance. They are clear, odorless, non-toxic that are used in household products or cosmetics.
Single-phase cooling requires circulation of the dielectric liquids by pumps or by natural convection flow through integrated or external heat exchangers.
With the help of our partners, we have created what we believe is the ultimate solution for the Cloud, Edge, High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI segments.
Not only are there different options available for data centers, but you can also choose from a fully customizable solution built to your specifications or, a basic solution that incorporates Hypertec’s TRIDENT servers specifically built for Immersion technology with different customizable elements, and tanks from our partners. We strive to give you the confidence that the solution you’ve chosen will be perfect for the job without the hassle.
Air-cooled systems: What might seem a simple server and rack-only system requires a combination of raised floors, aisle containment strategies, chillers, air handlers, humidity controls, filtration systems and plenums. Furthermore, to support the above, air-cooled data centers must also operate a comparatively large ancillary infrastructure. All this necessary complication equates to a relatively large capital expenditure (CAPEX).
Single Phase System: Considering it has just three moving parts – a coolant pump, water pump and a cooling tower/dry cooling fan, and the fact it requires no raised floors nor wasted space through aisle containment, single-phase immersion cooling can cut data center CAPEX by 50% or more. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of air flow is not required with immersion because racks can be spaced closely together, and even placed on bare concrete floors. Electrical support systems can be downsized as well. Single Phase cooling can easily cool up to 100 kW per rack—theoretically up to 200 kW when used with a chilled-water system.
- The need for refrigeration and a large power infrastructure is one of the biggest reasons why air-cooling is more complex and costly.
- At a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of < 1.03, the power usage effectiveness of immersion cooling is superior to air cooling with a PUE of > 1.35
- Single-phase immersion cooling can easily cool 100+ kW/rack.
- Simplicity
