According to Sinochem New Network, Xinan Co., Ltd. announced on February 3 that, in collaboration with Suansiang Technology, it has successfully applied its self-developed high-performance silicone-based cooling fluid to domestic commercial immersion liquid-cooling computing platforms, thereby achieving large-scale and commercial use of silicone-based functional materials in key areas related to green computing. It is reported that Xinan Co., Ltd.’s immersion liquid cooling solution based on its self-developed silicon-based coolant has been implemented in Hangzhou – China Digital Valley, where it is operating stably. The commercial computing power platform deployed this time adopts a high-power-density submerged liquid cooling architecture, with a power density of 210 kilowatts per cabinet; it can support parallel computing with multiple GPUs and is designed to serve various types of computing power customers. The industry believes that the successful operation of this project not only verifies the reliability and cost-effectiveness of silicon-based liquid cooling materials in real-world operational conditions, highlighting the unique advantages of silicone materials in addressing the challenge of high heat flux dissipation, and providing a proven model for future large-scale implementation; it also demonstrates the great potential of specialized silicone materials in digital infrastructure development, establishing a complete chain that spans from upstream material innovation to downstream system integration and commercial operation. Xin’an Shares stated that the high insulation, extremely low volatility, excellent thermal stability, and environmentally friendly properties inherent in silicon-based coolants meet the stringent requirements of direct-contact liquid cooling (immersion cooling) in data centers. This technical solution effectively overcomes the heat dissipation challenges faced by traditional air cooling and cold plate liquid cooling in ultra-high power density computing clusters, reducing the system’s PUE value to below 1.1 and achieving an energy savings of over 35%; it provides a new technical solution for heat management in next-generation computing centers. At the same time, the immersion cooling solution offers advantages such as reducing equipment maintenance costs, extending the equipment’s service life, and improving its operational stability, which will significantly lower the construction and operation costs of data centers. Against the backdrop of rising demands for AI computing power and increasingly stringent energy consumption constraints in data centers, liquid cooling technology is emerging as a key development direction for the next generation of computing infrastructure. Compared to traditional air-cooling and cold plate solutions, the silicon-based coolant developed by Xinan Co., Ltd. features high insulation, low volatility, strong thermal stability, and environmental friendliness. It can come into direct contact with the core components of servers to dissipate heat, offering significant advantages in terms of safety, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability. Xin’an Shares stated that, leveraging its long-standing expertise in material research and development as well as engineering within the silicone industry, the company is driving the expansion of silicone applications from traditional industrial uses to emerging areas such as computing infrastructure. As a key area of focus for its business development, Xinan Co., Ltd. will provide solutions for various application scenarios such as large-scale supercomputing centers, distributed computing centers, energy storage facilities, and power communication systems. It will continue to develop a series of silicon-based functional materials that can be standardized and produced on an industrial scale, thereby advancing its silicone-related business toward high-value end-use applications.
