Presentation
An Objective Look at Two-Phase Cooling
DescriptionTwo-phase cooling in data center servers is a specific form of liquid cooling wherein a saturated liquid absorbs heat from high-power electronics, such as processors, causing the liquid to boil and change phase to a vapor. This form of liquid cooling has been given much attention recently due to the potential of absorbing incredibly large amounts of heat using a dielectric refrigerant that will not damage the electronics like water-based coolants.
During this session, we will objectively analyze the heat transfer performance and environmental impacts of two-phase liquid cooling compared with single-phase water cooling. We will review each of the fundamental claims that two-phase cooling advertises, along with simulation results illuminating practical engineering opportunities and challenges to deploying two-phase data center cooling.
