BAC, a leader in data center cooling innovation, announces that its immersion cooling tank has been approved as part of the Intel® Data Center Certified Solution for Immersion Cooling for fourth- and fifth-generation Intel® Xeon® scalable processors. This achievement marks a significant milestone in industry efforts to validate next-generation immersion cooling solutions that meet the efficiency and sustainability demands of modern data centers.
The Intel Data Center Certified Solution for Immersion Cooling is the result of rigorous testing and collaboration between BAC, manufacturers of cooling fluid, and IT hardware manufacturers, highlighting the strength of cross-industry cooperation to accelerate the development of high-performance cooling systems. Crucially, the certification allows Intel to offer a Xeon Processor Single-Phase Immersion Warranty Rider — providing customers with greater confidence in the durability, efficiency, and compatibility of immersion-cooled IT infrastructure.
As part of the program, testing was conducted at Advanced Data Center Development Lab in Hillsboro, Oregon. BAC’s immersion cooling tanks, featuring patented CorTex™ technology played a key role in delivering reliable system performance. “Immersion cooling represents a critical advancement in data center thermal management, and this approval is a powerful validation of that progress,” said Jan Tysebeart, General Manager – Data Center of BAC. “Our immersion cooling tanks are engineered for the highest levels of efficiency and reliability. Through this collaborative effort, we’re helping deliver a trusted, seamless, and superior experience for customers worldwide.”
This approval builds on BAC’s leadership in the design and development of high-efficiency data center cooling technologies. BAC’s COBALT™ immersion cooling system combines indoor immersion tanks with outdoor heat rejection, enabling data centers to achieve some of the industry’s lowest Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) values while enhancing uptime and sustainability.
“Through rigorous joint testing and validation by Intel, we’ve demonstrated that immersion cooling can safeguard and enhance IT hardware performance while delivering more energy efficiency than ever before,” added Jan Tysebaert. “Programs like this are essential to accelerating industry adoption by ensuring every component — tank, fluid, processor, and memory — meets the same high standards of reliability and performance.”
BAC continues to collaborate with global technology leaders to advance immersion cooling standards, promote sustainable computing, and help customers deploy scalable, energy-efficient data center solutions.
