Dielectric Immersion Coolant: Cooling Live Hardware Without Short Risk
Dielectric Immersion Coolant: Cooling Live Hardware Without Short Risk Immersion cooling wraps live boards in fluid. A dielectric immersion coolant must be non-conductive by nature so the hardware still runs. Here is why. Glacier Coolant hears the same worry every time immersion coolin...Read more -
Coolant Lifecycle Model: A Checklist Before You Refill
Coolant Lifecycle Model: A Checklist Before You Refill Before you refill a carrier, score it on a lifecycle model: makeup, cleaning, waste, equipment wear and downtime. A free checklist inside. Glacier Coolant is asked every week which carrier is cheapest. Glacier Coolant answers with ...Read more -
Secondary Refrigerant TCO: Why Cheap Fill Can Cost More Over Four Years
SECONDARY REFRIGERANT Secondary Refrigerant TCO: Why Cheap Fill Can Cost More Over Four Years A cheap first fill of a secondary refrigerant often hides years of makeup, cleaning and waste cost. Build a TCO model before you buy. Glacier Coolant works with plant engineers who compare car...Read more -
Heat-Transfer Oil Degradation: The Four Stages You Can Read
Heat-Transfer Oil Degradation: The Four Stages You Can Read Heat-transfer oil is the quiet fluid in a plant. It moves hundreds of degrees through a system and asks for little. Then one day the filter clogs and the tube wall runs hot. Glacier Coolant reads degradation as a sequence, not a single...Read more -
LM-450-PL: The Primary-Loop Coolant Built for Data Centres
LM-450-PL:The Primary-Loop Coolant Built for Data Centres The primary loop carries total heat over long, high-pressure pipe. LM-450-PL is a modified ethylene glycol built for that duty. The primary loop is the part of a liquid-cooling system most people never see. It is also the part t...Read more -
Choosing an EHS-Friendly Secondary Refrigerant for Chemical Plants
Choosing an EHS-Friendly Secondary Refrigerant for Chemical Plants A chemical plant’s carrier fluid is public-engineering risk. Score toxicity, breakdown products and corrosion waste before you specify. Most plants pick a carrier fluid on freeze point and price. That is the easy column. ...Read more -
Four Acceptance Tests for Energy-Storage Coolant
Four Acceptance Tests for Energy-Storage Coolant An operations manual for battery storage cooling loops: multi-metal compatibility, fifteen-year chemistry, seal compatibility and online monitoring — each with an acceptance test. An energy-storage cooling loop is quiet for years, then unforgivin...Read more -
Writing a Ten-Year Coolant Specification for a Cold-Plate Loop
Writing a Ten-Year Coolant Specification for a Cold-Plate Loop A blueprint for specifying inhibited ethylene glycol coolant for a decade of cold-plate service: thermal and oxidative stability, corrosion inhibition, physical behaviour and hygiene. A cold-plate hall is designed to run for a d...Read more -
Low Conductivity Is an Outcome, Not a Strategy: The Glycol Liquid Cooling Trade-Off
Low Conductivity Is an Outcome, Not a Strategy: The Glycol Liquid Cooling Trade-Off Chasing the lowest conductivity reading in glycol liquid cooling can strip the inhibitor film that protects your loop. Where the real trade-off sits, and how to specify it Lab notebooks rarely make it into m...Read more -
Total Iron Is the Honest Number in a Glycol Brine Loop
Total Iron Is the Honest Number in a Glycol Brine Loop For carbon-steel chilled loops, total iron in the fluid tells you whether your corrosion program works. A field log of what the number looks like before, during and after a fix. Field logs beat theory. When a carbon-steel brine loop misbe...Read more -

Eight Questions That Stall a Data Center Coolant Decision — Answered Straight Is PG 25 enough, can glycol run on aluminium cold plates, how often to replace coolant, what if it leaks. Eight questions that stall a data center coolant decision, answered with criteria and owners. Eight Questio...Read more -
Is Propylene Glycol Safe for Your Aluminium Plates? A Straight Answer for Specifiers
Is Propylene Glycol Safe for Your Aluminium Plates? A Straight Answer for Specifiers Propylene glycol seldom attacks aluminium on its own. The pH window, the inhibitor package and one suffix in the grade number decide whether your plates last three years or fifteen. Aluminium does not need a...Read more
