INTELLIGENT POWER AND COOLING

Castrol ON Direct Liquid Cooling PG 25 is specifically engineered for direct-to-chip cooling applications in data centres .

The ready-to-use solution helps meet the complex thermal management needs of today ' s high-performance computing , while offering protection against corrosion and bacterial growth .

Castrol ON PG 25 has been developed to meet the rapidly growing adoption of direct-to-chip cooling technology in data centres , driven by the demand for higher computing densities , particularly for applications like AI , Machine Learning and high-performance computing . The global data centre cooling market is expected to reach US16.8 billion by 2028 , with directto-chip cooling becoming widely adopted .

Traditional air cooling , which currently dominates data centre cooling , often cannot efficiently manage the heat generated by densely packed , highpower servers .

To address these escalating cooling demands , the industry is turning to more efficient solutions like direct-to-chip cooling which delivers liquid coolant directly to heat-generating components , enabling faster heat transfer and reducing the reliance on energyintensive air conditioning systems .

This approach helps maintain the optimal operating temperatures crucial for system reliability and performance .

" As data centres continue to push the boundaries of computing power , directto-chip cooling offers an opportunity for data centres to manage the increasing thermal demands of next-generation processors ," said Peter Huang , Global Vice President of Thermal Management , Castrol . " Through the launch of PG 25 , we are combining Castrol ' s expertise in thermal management with our global capabilities to help customers meet their cooling challenges with efficiency ."

Castrol ’ s new PG 25 fluid offers several key advantages for data centre operators :

• Non-toxic propylene glycol formulation for enhanced safety in sensitive computing environments

• Extended protection against metal corrosion and bacterial growth

• Comprehensive compatibility with common cooling system materials

• Ready-to-use 25 % concentration requiring no dilution

• Global availability backed by Castrol ' s technical support network

Castrol ON Direct Liquid Cooling PG 25 is supported by the company ' s comprehensive operational support and monitoring solutions , enabling data centre operators to optimise the performance of their cooling systems throughout their lifecycle .

" Through research and collaboration with our customers and technology partners , we ' ve developed a truly end-to-end solution that supports data centres to rapidly implement and benefit from direct-to-chip cooling technologies while anticipating the future needs of the industry ," added Sung A Kim , Global Head of Technology for Data Centre Liquid Solutions , Castrol . " Further , our global network will enable us to provide comprehensive support all the way from initial testing to deployment , supporting our customers to confidently implement direct-to-chip cooling solutions across their facilities ."

With the addition of Castrol ON Direct Liquid Cooling PG 25 to Castrol ’ s existing range of immersion cooling fluids and associated services , Castrol can be a onestop partner for meeting the liquid cooling solutions of today and tomorrow . �
