Chemical Compatibility in Liquid Cooling Solutions

Chemical compatibility within a liquid cooling loop helps ensure the thermal management system performs to specification. With ongoing advances in fluid options and materials, it is important to think holistically when selecting components. Subcomponent materials may in fact be incompatible with the liquid cooling fluid– each component in a liquid cooling system has the potential for interaction with other component materials via the wetted loop. Learn about common coolants, materials of construction (metals, polymers & elastomers) and hear recommendations for combinations whether designing a closed-loop, single-phase immersion, two-phase immersion, or direct-to-chip cooling system.
