Chemours Leads Product Trial to Cut Data Center Cooling Energy Use by 90%: Details

On Friday, Chemours Company CC launched a full-scale product trial with NTT DATA and Hibiya Engineering, Ltd. to advance data center two-phase immersion cooling.

The trial features Chemours’ Opteon 2P50 dielectric fluid and aims to transform cooling strategies with cutting-edge technology.

Opteon 2P50, Chemours’ advanced dielectric thermal management fluid, offers an ultra-low global warming potential of 10 (AR6) and outperforms traditional and single-phase cooling technologies.

It can cut data center cooling energy use by up to 90% and reduce overall energy consumption by 40%.

In most climates, it nearly eliminates water usage while also significantly lowering interior noise pollution. Additionally, it can shrink the physical data center footprint by up to 60%.

This marks a key milestone in the commercialization process, moving from lab trials to field trials, equipment specification, customer selection, and eventual commercial contracts.

The field trial will involve data center operators, equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, IT vendors, and research institutions, ensuring broad industry collaboration.

Kouhei Kurotaki, Deputy Manager of Technology Consulting Division at NTT DATA Japan said, “Opteon 2P50 directly addresses the growing heat generation and energy use challenges facing data centers, and we believe this trial will help address key value chain questions.”

Izabela Jasinska, Liquid Cooling Venture Leader, said, “We developed Opteon 2P50 specifically for data centers, to not only increase the performance and efficiency criteria, but also to dramatically reduce the environmental footprint of data centers around the globe.”

Last month, the company reported fourth-quarter net sales of $1.359 billion, down 1% year-over-year, which was in line with the consensus and adjusted EPS of $0.11 missed the consensus of $0.12.

Price Action: CC shares are up 1.68% at $13.93 premarket at the last check Friday.
