Immersion Cooling Fluid DC 20 is a synthetic hydrocarbon-based dielectric coolant designed specifically for electrical and electronic cooling systems.
Combining low viscosity with excellent thermal performance, dielectric properties and long-term fluid stability, DC 20 provides an advanced cooling fluid for demanding single-phase immersion applications.
Available from DC Cooling Solutions, official partners and distributors of Castrol ON advanced thermal fluids.
In single-phase immersion cooling, servers and electronic components are submerged directly within a non-conductive dielectric fluid.
The fluid absorbs heat directly from the hardware before circulating through a heat exchanger, transferring that heat into the wider data centre cooling infrastructure.
This requires a fluid capable of delivering effective heat removal while maintaining electrical insulation, material compatibility and stability over extended periods of operation.
DC 20 is engineered specifically for this environment.
Effective heat transfer
DC 20 provides excellent thermal properties to support efficient heat removal from high-performance CPUs, GPUs and other electronic components.
Low viscosity
Low viscosity provides excellent flow characteristics, supporting efficient fluid circulation and heat transfer throughout the immersion cooling system.
Excellent dielectric properties
DC 20 provides the electrical insulation required for a fluid operating in direct contact with energised electronic hardware.
Superior oxidative stability
The formulation is designed to resist oxidation and degradation, helping maintain fluid condition and performance throughout its operating life.
Excellent hydrolytic stability
DC 20 provides strong resistance to degradation in the presence of moisture, supporting long-term fluid stability.
Low-temperature performance
Strong low-temperature characteristics provide flexibility across a wide range of operating conditions.
Material compatibility
DC 20 is compatible with a wide range of materials used within immersion cooling systems, including commercially available elastomers.
Compatibility should always be confirmed against the specific materials and components used within the installation.
Immersion Cooling Fluid DC 20 is a single-phase coolant designed for electrical and electronic cooling systems.
Data centre applications can include:
For a wider overview of immersion cooling architecture, fluid requirements and DCCS support:
In an immersion cooling system, the dielectric fluid operates in continuous direct contact with electronic components and the materials surrounding them.
Fluid compatibility therefore needs to be considered alongside thermal and dielectric performance when selecting an immersion coolant.
DC 20 has been developed for compatibility with a wide range of materials used within electrical and electronic cooling systems.
The specific metals, plastics, elastomers, seals, cables and other materials used within an installation should nevertheless be considered as part of the specification process.
DC Cooling Solutions can support fluid selection and compatibility considerations for new and existing immersion cooling deployments.
Immersion cooling fluid forms an integral part of the cooling infrastructure and its condition should be monitored throughout its operating life.
Contamination, particulate material or changes in fluid condition can potentially affect both thermal and dielectric performance.
DC Cooling Solutions provide specialist support including:
This enables fluid condition to be measured, monitored and managed rather than simply assumed.
DC Cooling Solutions are official partners and distributors of Castrol advanced thermal fluids.
DCCS combine Castrol ON DC 20 with specialist knowledge of dielectric fluids, fluid management and data centre cooling systems.
From initial fluid selection and commissioning through to condition monitoring and long-term fluid management, DCCS provide technical support throughout the operating lifecycle.
