Microsoft has shared an article demonstrating how the company is cooling its powerful data center servers by submerging them in a special fluid that’s designed to boil at 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Dubbed two-phase immersion cooling, the technique seems like a dangerous one at first glance but is actually effective in that the boiling effect carries heat away from processors and ultimately creates a closed-loop cooling system due to the interaction between rising vapors and the tank’s condensers. Two-phase immersion cooling was originally pioneered by cryptominers.
