Chemours, 2CRSi Partner to Accelerate Two-Phase Liquid Cooling Adoption
Event summary
- Chemours and 2CRSi have entered into a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) following successful qualification of Chemours’ Opteon™ fluid in 2CRSi servers.
- The partnership aims to accelerate the development and deployment of two-phase cooling technologies for high-density IT infrastructure, supporting AI and next-generation chips.
- 2CRSi’s Atlas 1.8GG 2PIC server model, utilizing Chemours’ fluid, currently houses 8 NVIDIA H200 GPUs in a 1U format.
- Chemours’ Opteon™ fluid can reduce data center cooling energy by up to 90% and achieve a PUE approaching 1.
- 2CRSi is listed on the Euronext Growth market (ISIN code: FR0013341781).
The big picture
The partnership reflects the escalating energy demands of AI and GPU-accelerated computing, which are straining traditional air-cooling infrastructure. Two-phase liquid cooling offers a compelling solution for high-density deployments, but its adoption has been limited by cost and complexity. This collaboration aims to overcome these barriers and unlock a significant market opportunity for both companies, particularly as edge data centers proliferate.
What we're watching
- Market Adoption
- The pace at which two-phase liquid cooling is adopted across the broader data center market will depend on the willingness of operators to invest in new infrastructure and overcome potential compatibility challenges with existing IT components.
- Competitive Landscape
- How Chemours and 2CRSi’s combined expertise will position them against other liquid cooling solution providers, particularly those offering alternative cooling technologies, will be a key indicator of success.
- Fluid Scalability
- Whether Chemours can scale Opteon™ fluid production to meet the anticipated demand from 2CRSi and other potential customers will be critical to realizing the partnership's full potential.
