Understanding DOWFROST™ LC 25 for Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling
DOWFROST™ LC 25 is an inhibited propylene glycol-based heat transfer fluid specifically developed for liquid cooling applications. The fluid combines dependable heat-transfer performance with corrosion protection to support the demanding requirements of modern cooling systems.
APPLICATIONS:
- Direct-to-Chip Cooling Systems: DOWFROST™ LC 25 is designed for direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems, where fluid circulates through cold plates mounted directly on processors and other high-heat-generating components. Efficient heat transfer helps maintain operating temperatures and support system performance.
- Liquid-Based Datacom Equipment Cooling Systems (DECS): DECS utilize liquid cooling technology to remove heat from servers, storage equipment, and networking hardware. DOWFROST™ LC 25 provides dependable heat transfer performance while helping protect cooling loop components from corrosion.
- Glycol-Cooled Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) Units: Many data centers utilize glycol-cooled CRAC units to maintain precise environmental conditions within server rooms. DOWFROST™ LC 25 supports efficient heat transfer throughout the cooling loop while providing freeze protection and corrosion inhibition for long-term system reliability.
- Pumped Refrigerant and Glycol Loop Heat Exchangers: These systems rely on effective thermal transfer between cooling circuits. DOWFROST™ LC 25 helps facilitate heat removal while protecting system components and supporting consistent cooling performance across varying operating conditions.
FEATURES:
- Engineered and optimized to specifically serve the emerging liquid cooling needs of the data center and AI industries
- Manufactured using USP/EP grade propylene glycol
- Provides freeze protection for the system loop down to 14°F (-10°C)
- Compatible with a wide range of metals and elastomers used in DECS hardware
- Maintains functionality and protection in extreme conditions
- Fluorescent yellow for easy leak detection
Not all cooling fluids provide the same level of protection or performance. Glycol-based heat transfer fluids are formulated to support both thermal performance and system protection. Corrosion inhibitors help protect equipment from premature wear, while fluid stability helps maintain performance over extended operating periods.
For liquid cooling systems, selecting a fluid designed for the application can help support equipment longevity, reduce maintenance requirements, and contribute to reliable operation.
