Chemours joins efforts to advance liquid cooling
20th May 2025
USA: Chemours has announced a strategic agreement to further demonstrate and develop advanced liquid cooling solutions for data centres alongside other industry leaders.
The collaboration with DataVolt, the Saudi Arabian designer, developer, and operator of sustainable digital infrastructure, will focus on increasing data centre efficiency and sustainability through two-phase direct-to-chip, two-phase immersion cooling, and other innovative solutions.
The companies will work to enhance infrastructure readiness and address the increasing demands of AI and next-generation chips.
“Our collaboration with DataVolt represents another significant step in our liquid cooling roadmap,” said Chemours president and CEO Denise Dignam.
The agreement includes the development of liquid cooling and other data centre solutions using Chemours’ portfolio of Opteon ultra-low GWP dielectric fluids.
Liquid cooling technology is said to offer up to 90% cooling energy reduction, up to a 40% reduction in total cost of ownership, nearly eliminating water use, and enabling increased computing capacity and density per square foot without compromising performance.
Chemours has been working with an HFO-based two-phase immersion cooling fluid. Known as Opteon 2P50, it has a GWP of 10 under AR6 and boils at 49°C. It is said to have a PUE approaching 1.
The company has not officially revealed the identity of the HFO fluid, but Chemours does hold patents on the application of the HFOs 153-10mczz and 153-10mzzy as immersion cooling fluids.
