to manage higher thermal loads and signal integrity requirements as performance demands increase. Processors will naturally throttle when they can’ t dissipate heat efficiently, much like a car that cannot shift out of third gear into fourth. By using immersion cooling at higher densities, we’ re able to help those processors operate at sustained peak performance, which translates into a real competitive advantage for companies and enterprises running demanding AI workloads.”
As a key partner in supporting that immersion capability, Green Revolution Cooling( GRC) provides the tank technology used within one of the largest immersioncooled environments supported by UNICOM Engineering.
“ The Dell-based immersion servers we design are optimized to work within GRC’ s tank systems, which houses the pump

Traditional air cooling is struggling to keep up with the increasing heat generated by high-performance computing and artificial intelligence( AI). Continuing with air cooling can result in poor operational efficiency, high energy consumption and low server density.
Our latest evolution in data centre cooling
Our solution: Shell DLC Fluids Direct liquid cooling fluids are engineered to meet these challenges head-on. By directly cooling the heat-generating components, the advanced fluid improves power usage effectiveness( PUE) by up to 27 %, reducing the need for airconditioning systems. It also helps to protect the manufacturer’ s warranty as there is no direct contact with the microprocessor.

UNICOM Engineering supports a full spectrum of cooling approaches, from traditional air and direct-to-chip designs to immersion architectures. This breadth allows the company to align infrastructure design with the specific performance, efficiency, and deployment requirements of each workload. The company is now in its seventh year of delivering warranted immersion cooled servers, an area that, while gaining momentum, remains an emerging segment of the broader data center market.
