Solutions for high-performing dielectric fluids
As digitalization progresses and electrification expands across various sectors, the demand for more efficient and sustainable thermal management solutions has grown. In environments where fluids come into direct contact with electronic components, dielectric fluids become crucial. At Perstorp, we leverage our know-how and innovation capabilities in synthetic fluids to tailor solutions with specialized dielectric properties to meet the evolving requirements of thermal management fluids.
Market trends driving dielectric fluid adoption
The adoption of dielectric fluids is driven by the market's need for efficient, safe, and lower-impact thermal management solutions. Developments within digital infrastructure and electric mobility have also given rise to new cooling and insulating applications. For example, the rapid growth of digital infrastructure and data centers requiring efficient cooling has spurred recent technology development in immersion cooling fluids. Similarly, the shift towards electric mobility also impacts the market as electric vehicles and their battery systems demand high-performing thermal management fluids with dielectric properties.
Elevating thermal management with synthetic dielectric fluids
Synthetic ester chemistry represents a significant advancement in dielectric fluid technology, offering tailored solutions that support safety, performance, and environmental objectives. At Perstorp, we leverage the unique properties of synthetic esters to meet the specific needs of modern cooling systems.
Key characteristics of synthetic ester-based dielectric fluids for thermal management:
- Fire safety: Synthetic ester-based dielectric fluids offer enhanced fire safety with a high flash point, helping reduce the risk of ignition in high-temperature environments.
- Low viscosity: They provide efficient heat transfer, and the balanced viscosity-flash point ratio helps maintain thermal performance without sacrificing safety.
- Dielectric strength: Exceptional insulation properties suitable for server cooling applications.
- Material compatibility: Compatibility with key components in cooling systems, which can help increase system lifetime and durability while reducing maintenance requirements.
- Environmental characteristics: Synthetic esters can be engineered to be readily biodegradable, non-bioaccumulative, and to exhibit low aquatic toxicity.
- Raw material options: Synthetic esters can be produced from renewable-based, recycled and/or traceable mass-balanced raw materials.
