HEY question to all

I am wanting to >>immersion cooling <FC-3283 55 gal (750 lb) $28.60/lb, $21,450.00 each

3.25 gal (44 lb) $31.60/lb, $1,390.40 each

0.75 gal (11 lb) $36.20/lb, $398.20 each

Novec HFE 7300 55 gal (600 lb) $23.95/lb, $14,370.00 each

3.25 gal (33 lb) $25.40/lb, $838.20 each

1 gal (12 lb) $28.25/lb, $339.00 each

going to using 1 of these fluids:

My question is does anybody see a issue in cooling them off this way.

plus side is
dead quite/ less power needed/ no fans needed / and it does not matter how hot the room is >> save on a/c electric bill

negative cost of fluid
thanks

I'd recommend against doing this unless you are 100% sure what you're doing.

The fluids you are using can only be used for single phase cooling which is less than optimal. (Might as well just use mineral oil)

With single phase you miss out on the density, efficiency, and cooling capacity that you would get with 2 phase.

There are really no significant benefits for using single phase immersion cooling. You still need pumps/fans and it's even less efficient than air cooling (without an AC).

I agree, you'll be more efficient (regarding the amount of $ you wanna spend) if you build a wind tunnel.
