Strategy Selection of Liquid Coolants for New Data Center Based on AHP
Three types of compounds,such as hydrocarbons,silicones,and fluorocarbons,are the mainstream choice in the immersion coolant market.The physical and chemical properties of these three types of coolant have obvious differ-ences,each has its own advantages and disadvantages.There is no unified consensus or standard in the industry to divide the weight of the physical and chemical characteristics of the above three types of coolant,and there is no priority ranking of the importance of each parameter,which is one of the pain points faced by server manufacturers in screening suitable coolants and designing immersion liquid cooling systems.In this paper,the analytic hierarchy method is used to calculate that saturated vapor pressure is the chemical characteristic parameter of coolant with the largest weight,and dielectric con-stant is the physical characteristic parameter with the largest weight,which provides a decision-making reference for server manufacturers in the process of coolant selection and system design.
