Liquid cooling immersion cooling new benchmark
Ziitek Technology's TIF100C series immersion thermal pad, meeting the long-term requirements for AI & GPU liquid cooling barriers
With AI computing power, new energy vehicles, and high-performance servers all entering the era of liquid cooling / immersion cooling for heat dissipation, traditional thermal interface materials often encounter problems such as insufficient heat conduction, poor adhesion, weak insulation, and cumbersome installation. Mako Electronics has newly launched the TIF®100C series of immersion-specific thermal silicone pads, featuring 8.0W/m·K high thermal conductivity, ultra-high compression flexibility, self-adhesive without glue, V-0 flame retardancy, etc. These hard-core performance characteristics make it an efficient thermal insulation solution for high-power devices and liquid cooling / metal bases.
Ⅰ.make sure you understand: liquid cooling with cold plates vs immersion cooling are completely different concepts.
1. Cold plate liquid cooling (indirect cooling - progressive mainstream)
✅Principle: The cold plate is closely attached to the GPU/CPU, and the coolant circulates in a closed channel, only cooling the core chips.
✅Features: Minimal changes, strong compatibility, easy deployment. Preferred for existing data centers.
✅Limitations: Memory and power supplies still rely on air cooling, which may result in local hotspots. The upper limit for high-density scenarios is limited.
2. Immersion Liquid Cooling (Direct Cooling - High Density)
✅Principle: The entire machine is immersed in an insulating coolant, achieving full-area, non-overlapping heat exchange. The heat dissipation
✅efficiency is 20-30 times higher than that of air cooling.
✅Features: No fan, low noise, stable temperature control, PUE can be as low as 1.05. Suitable for high-density cluster cabinets with power exceeding 100kW.
✅Key Challenges: The compatibility of the coolant directly determines the lifespan, stability and heat dissipation efficiency of the thermal pad.
II. The critical point of immersion liquid cooling: The heat-conducting pad cannot withstand the liquid, and all efforts will be in vain.、
In the immersion environment, the heat-conducting pad is constantly immersed in media such as PAO and fluorinated liquids. Ordinary materials will experience phenomena such as swelling, cracking, powder shedding, a sharp decline in heat conductivity, interface failure, GPU overheating and frequency reduction, soaring operation costs, and skyrocketing failure rates. This is why immersion liquid cooling requires the use of dedicated compatible heat-conducting materials.
