  • BAC unveils immersion cooling tank with CorTex™ technology for high-performance data centers.
  • New tank sizes boost rack density, energy efficiency with PUE up to 1.05.
  • COBALT™ system offers complete cooling for AI, machine learning workloads.

Baltimore Aircoil Company, Inc. (BAC) has introduced an upgraded immersion cooling tank intended for high-performance data centers.

This innovation, driven by the company's CorTex™ technology, aims to enhance reliability, support flexible high-density setups, and improve efficiency in data center operations.

BAC's Immersion Cooling Tank Features

The newly engineered immersion cooling tank is designed to sustain even version with minimal care

The newly engineered immersion cooling tank is designed to maintain consistent performance with minimal maintenance needs.

Featuring a unique patented design to prevent leaks, the tank does not have any penetrations below the fluid level, which preserves fluid integrity and ensures system reliability.

Redundancy is built-in with dual pumps, while the sealed, filter-free design simplifies operations and minimizes routine maintenance requirements.

Versatile Server Compatibility

Available in various sizes, including 16RU, 32RU, 38RU, and 48RU, the tanks enable data centers to optimize rack density and accommodate diverse immersion-ready servers. Traditional air-cooled servers can also be upgraded for immersion cooling compatibility.

The tanks are suitable for server widths of 19” and 21” and depths reaching up to 1200 mm, catering to different infrastructure needs, while offering a compact alternative to standard air-cooled systems.

Additionally, the tanks promote energy efficiency with a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) potential of up to 1.05.

Advanced System Design

BAC tank employs dielectric fluid to manage heat transfer from servers to the heat exchanger

The BAC tank employs dielectric fluid to manage heat transfer from servers to the heat exchanger, with the external system supporting water or water-glycol mixtures.

The design includes fluid-tight lids, cable entries, and heat exchanger connections to prevent contamination and maintain system integrity.

The tank is a key component of BAC’s COBALT™ immersion cooling system, which integrates indoor and outdoor solutions for high-density computing environments.

Comprehensive Cooling Solutions

When used alongside BAC’s extensive range of outdoor cooling solutions — comprising evaporative, hybrid, adiabatic, and dry systems — the COBALT™ system forms a comprehensive cooling strategy for cutting-edge data centers.

This solution is engineered to support higher-powered servers and increase rack densities, fostering sustainable operations for applications like AI and machine learning, as well as other demanding computational tasks.
