'Green' decision-making for single- and two-phase cooling systems

The regulatory landscape for PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is evolving rapidly in both the EU and the US due to growing concerns about their environmental and health impacts - with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) actively working to restrict PFAS under the REACH regulation in tandem with the EC commitment to phase out the use of PFAS (unless their use is essential) and the EPA’s broader efforts to manage and mitigate the risks associated with them in the US.

Several companies in the chemical and immersion cooling industries - specifically those associated with 𝘁𝘄𝗼–𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 have committed to eliminating PFAS from their products in the near-future whilst sector leaders such as ExxonMobil and Perstop Corporation are developing next-generation, PFAS-free alternatives such as the latter's “Synmerse™ DC" biodegradable product offering. DTC 2P products, such as Accelsius' 4th generation 'Neucool™ Dielectric' is categorised under PFAS - albeit specifically noted as a 'non-forever chemical' boasting an Ultra-low Global Warming Potential.

Despite being less effective than its two-phase equivalent, 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲-𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 has the potential to be a more cost-effective and workable option for high-density data centers in the future - with many bio-based cooling fluids becoming commercially available.

Biyat Energy & Environment Ltd. assists delivery teams in choosing the greenest options that will prepare their business for the future. This includes both battery manufacturers and data center providers looking to "cool the heat" and "get a handle on thermal runaway" situations respectively.
