The Chemours Company has inked a joint development agreement to accelerate work on its Opteon two-phase immersion cooling fluid in current-generation 2CRSi servers.
This milestone sets the stage for accelerating the development and deployment of advanced two-phase cooling technologies—including direct-to-chip and immersion systems—for high-density IT infrastructure, supporting AI and next-generation chips.
Building on this qualification success, the partnership will combine Chemours' advanced thermal management expertise and 2CRSi's server design leadership to deliver substantial end-user and environmental benefits, meeting near- and long-term data centre and IT cooling demands.
Chemours president of liquid cooling, Nathan Blom, said two-phase liquid cooling is the key to unlocking the next generation of high-performance computing.
“We're thrilled to partner with 2CRSi to meet the unprecedented demands of AI and advanced IT workloads—while dramatically reducing energy and water consumption," he said.
“This partnership will not only deliver innovative cooling solutions; it will empower customers to future-proof their infrastructure and accelerate the transition to more efficient, resilient digital ecosystems."
Opteon liquid cooling solutions can deliver up to a 90 per cent reduction in data centre cooling energy compared to traditional air cooling, a power usage effectiveness (PUE) approaching 1, dramatic reductions in water consumption, and a circular solution through fluid recovery and reuse.
Additionally, accelerated life cycle testing confirms compatibility with industry standard IT components.
These environmental and operational advantages align with 2CRSi's commitment to decarbonizing digital infrastructure.
Leveraging Chemours' next-generation fluids, 2CRSi has successfully commercialised ultra-high-density servers—such as the Atlas 1.8GG 2PIC model—housing 8 NVIDIA H200 GPUs in a 1U format, a technical achievement enabled by two-phase cooling.
2CRSi CEO, Alain Wilmouth, said this partnership reflects a shared vision to address the surging energy demands of AI and GPU-accelerated computing.
“Together, Chemours and 2CRSi are paving the way for compact, energy-efficient edge data centres capable of powering low-latency applications such as autonomous vehicles, 5G/6G networks, and intelligent embedded systems."
