Driving Innovation with Gen 2 Dual-Phase Immersion Cooling and Data Center 2.0: How Standard Fluids is Leading the Way

At Standard Fluids, we are committed to advancing the future of data center cooling with innovative solutions that prioritize efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Our recent partnership with E3 NV exemplifies this commitment, as we bring together our cutting-edge engineered fluid technology with their expertise in immersion cooling tank design to set a new standard in the industry.

Revolutionizing Cooling with Gen 2 Dual-Phase Immersion Technology

Partnering with E3 NV for Gen 2 Dual-Phase Immersion Cooling technology represents a major breakthrough in the world of data center cooling. Unlike traditional cooling methods that rely on refrigerants, our approach uses advanced fluids—such as SF 188™ Engineered Fluid, SF 649™ Engineered Fluid, SF 7100™ Engineered Fluid, SF 7200™ Engineered Fluid, and SF 7300™ Engineered Fluid—that efficiently absorb and transfer heat without the need for traditional data center cooling, including CRAC and CRAH units.

This second-generation technology has several key advantages:

  • Superior Safety and Environmental Impact: Our Gen 2 fluids are formulated to be non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and safe for use in most data center environments. They represent a significant environmental improvement over older technologies, which often faced criticisms for high global warming impact. With our fluids, there’s no compromise between performance and safety.
  • Enhanced Cooling Efficiency: Designed to manage high thermal loads effectively, our fluids ensure that data centers can operate at peak efficiency, reducing energy consumption and improving overall sustainability.
What is Data Center 2.0?

At Standard Fluids, we are also supporting the pioneering concept of Data Center 2.0, a new model for data center design that emphasizes modularity, adaptability, and environmental responsibility. Data Center 2.0 is about more than just improving cooling techniques; it’s about rethinking how data centers integrate with their surroundings to maximize efficiency and minimize their environmental footprint.

Key elements of Data Center 2.0 include:

  • Modular Deployment: By utilizing modular designs, Data Center 2.0 allows for flexible and scalable deployments, which can be tailored to specific needs and expanded as necessary. This adaptability is crucial for meeting the rapidly evolving demands of today’s digital landscape.
  • Heat Recapture and Reuse: A standout feature of Data Center 2.0 is the ability to reuse heat generated by data center operations. Thanks to our innovative cooling fluids, waste heat can be effectively recaptured and redirected for use in other parts of a building, such as heating systems during colder months. This capability not only enhances energy efficiency but also supports sustainability goals by reducing overall energy consumption.
The Role of E3 NV in Supporting Our Vision

Our partnership with E3 NV is integral to advancing the Gen 2 Dual-Phase Immersion Cooling technology and the Data Center 2.0 model. While Standard Fluids provides the specialized fluids that make these innovative cooling systems possible, E3 NV offers expertise in designing and deploying the tanks that house these systems. Their experience in immersion cooling tank design complements our fluid technology, allowing us to offer a comprehensive solution to data center operators looking to improve their cooling efficiency and sustainability.

E3 NV also serves as a valuable resource for clients, helping them determine the most appropriate cooling solutions based on their specific environmental and operational needs. This customer-centric approach aligns perfectly with Standard Fluids’ commitment to providing tailored, effective solutions for every client.

Addressing Misconceptions and Leading the Industry Forward

There has been some confusion in the market about what “Gen 2” really means, especially when it comes to dual-phase immersion cooling. Some have suggested that dual-phase cooling is outdated or even unsafe. At Standard Fluids, we want to set the record straight: Gen 2 Dual-Phase Immersion Cooling is not just an upgrade—it’s a complete transformation, allowing for flexibility and adaptability and heat recapture and reuse. Our fluids are safe, innovative, and represent the future of sustainable data center cooling.

We’re leading the charge in rebranding and reframing this technology to highlight its benefits and dispel any myths. Our second-generation fluids offer superior safety, efficiency, and environmental benefits, putting us ahead of legacy technologies and setting a new benchmark for the industry.
