Total immersion in 3M Novec

Similar to oil immersion cooling, this is also a total immersion technology, where 3M Novec engineered fluid is used instead of mineral oil. The advantage of this option is zero mess. Unlike oil, this fluid does not stick to any equipment and does not require any heat exchanger or pump to move the fluid itself. This fluid has a boiling temperature of 60 degrees Celsius, at which it becomes vapor. When the vapor hits a cold coil on top of the container, it turns to liquid and drops back down to the tank. Only a pump is needed to circulate water through the coil, thus it needs only half of the equipment needed for oil-based cooling.
