Minneapolis, MN – Cargill claims the fluid has a 10 percent higher heat capacity than leading synthetic immersion cooling fluids.
Kristin Anderson, BDM Cooling Solutions at Cargill has announced that Cargill Bioindustrial is proud to launch the first-ever plant-based dielectric fluid for immersion cooling, delivering a renewable and more sustainable alternative to conventional cooling methods.
According to Data Center Dynamics, NatureCool 2000 is a dielectric liquid designed for immersion cooling systems such as those in data centers and crypto mining facilities, as well as other industrial applications. It's made from at least 90 percent vegetable oil and designed to replace fluids derived from petroleum.
“Immersion cooling is the new frontier of technologies that allows for more efficient, higher performing systems that also help make the IT industry more sustainable,” said Kurtis Miller, the managing director of Cargill’s bio-industrial business.
Cargill claims the fluid has a 10 percent higher heat capacity than leading synthetic immersion cooling fluids. Because it comes from plants that have naturally trapped carbon, it can be said to be CO2 neutral.
