The Importance of Warranty on Immersion-Cooled Computer Hardware

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data centers and high-performance computing, immersion cooling has emerged as a significant development. By submerging computer hardware in a non-conductive coolant, this immersion cooling solution offers unparalleled efficiency and performance gains. However, despite its undeniable advantages, the widespread adoption of immersion cooling faces a significant hurdle: the lack of warranty coverage on computer hardware.

Hardware vendors traditionally hesitate to extend warranties to components used in immersion-cooled environments. This reluctance stems from concerns about potential damage caused by exposure to liquid coolant and the fact that the vendors want to control the whole cycle. As a result, many organizations are hesitant to invest in immersion cooling installations, fearing the risk of voiding warranties and incurring additional costs.

This hesitancy presents a significant barrier to the widespread adoption of immersion cooling. Without warranty coverage, businesses are understandably wary of deploying critical hardware in immersion-cooled environments. This reluctance stifles innovation and inhibits the realization of the full potential of immersion cooling technology.

At Engineered Fluids, we recognize the importance of addressing this issue head-on. That is why we are actively collaborating with several leading network- and computer hardware vendors to develop immersion-approved hardware with warranty coverage. Through these partnerships, we aim to provide our customers with peace of mind and assurance that their hardware investments are protected.

By working closely with hardware vendors, we are ensuring that immersion cooling installations can benefit from the latest technology without compromising warranty coverage. Our goal is to empower businesses to embrace immersion cooling with confidence, knowing that their hardware investments are fully supported.

In addition to fostering collaboration with hardware vendors, we are also committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance to our customers. From initial consultation to ongoing maintenance, we are here to help businesses navigate the transition to immersion cooling seamlessly.

Engineered Fluids & Mountain Cloud Forge Revolutionary Partnership in Immersion Server Development

Engineered Fluids, a leader in liquid immersion cooling solutions, and Mountain Cloud, renowned for its expertise in custom server design, proudly announce a groundbreaking collaboration aimed at advancing high-density, high-performance computing.

Since 2018, Engineered Fluids and Mountain Cloud have embarked on an extensive and focused collaboration to develop innovative liquid immersion-cooled compute nodes. These nodes are specifically tailored to maximize the capabilities of Engineered Fluids' proprietary ElectroCool Single-phase Liquid Immersion Coolants (SLIC) and SLIC Tank server immersion cooling systems.

Leveraging Mountain Cloud's profound experience in custom server design and integration alongside Engineered Fluids' rigorous material compatibility testing and immersion device optimization, the collaboration has led to the meticulous selection and testing of hundreds of server components. This includes motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, memory, solid-state drives, and PSUs. Additionally, custom boards, chips, and firmware have been developed where off-the-shelf components were unavailable or unsuitable for immersion cooling.

The culmination of thousands of hours of testing and verification, the SLI Compute servers represent a line of high-performance, highly reliable immersion-cooled servers optimized to support a wide range of intensive compute applications. These applications span Artificial Intelligence, Video Processing and Storage, Network Storage, Cybersecurity, and Deep Encryption.

The unparalleled performance of Engineered Fluids' and Mountain Cloud's SLI Compute Liquid Immersion Compute nodes stems from fully leveraging the benefits of Engineered Fluids' Single-phase Liquid Immersion Cooling. This includes increased density and speed, dramatic reliability improvements due to hyperefficient heat dissipation, and comprehensive protection from dust, humidity, and corrosive impurities in the air.

Backed by a standard 2-year hardware warranty, extendable up to 7 years, the SLI Compute immersion-cooled servers offer the most cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and highest reliability compute platform available. Engineered Fluids is delighted to offer this world-class solution to its data center and artificial intelligence customers, achieving an impressive 1.03 PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) today.
