New White Paper: Not All Fluids Are Created Equal

Not All Fluids Are Created Equal — Infinium Edge whitepaper cover

Infinium Edge is pleased to announce the release of a new technical white paper: Not All Fluids Are Created Equal — Immersion Fluid Characteristics for Data Center Cooling, authored by Dr. Dennis Schuetzle, Chief Technology Officer at Infinium. As rack power densities surge past 100 kW and AI accelerators push thermal loads to new extremes, fluid selection has emerged as one of the most consequential — and frequently underestimated — decisions in data center design. This white paper examines the six major immersion fluid categories, comparing mineral oils, PAOs, esters, silicones, fluorocarbons, and Fischer-Tropsch synthetic hydrocarbons across thermal, electrical, and sustainability dimensions, and makes the case for purpose-built fluids engineered at the molecular level for the demands of next-generation AI infrastructure.
