Supporting GPU’s, Accelerators, and High-denisty compute
Compute densities exceeding 100 kW per rack equivalent
5–10× higher compute density
Reduces cooling energy consumption by up to 40%
Reduce data center footprint by up to 50%
Immersive cooling submerges IT hardware, mainly GPU’s in a thermally conductive dielectric fluid, allowing heat to be removed directly from components rather than through air. By eliminating server fans and reducing hotspots, this approach enables higher thermal headroom for AI training, inference, and HPC workloads. The result is more stable cluster performance, with significant lower PUE. Ultimately resulting in sustained high compute output for GPU-class nodes, and tighter control of thermal envelopes under continuous load.
Desert Dragon’s immersive environments are purpose‑built for AI training, inference, and HPC to deliver higher sustained clocks, tighter thermal control, and stable cluster throughput at extreme densities.
Core capabilities:
Electrical topologies sized for GPU racks in tanks, with balanced busway/PDU designs and integrated surge protection.
Start with pilot tanks; scale to large AI clusters using repeatable tank blocks and CDU capacity adders.
Heat rejection paths engineered for immersive cooling with dual CDU's per pod.
Qualified server, with sized 2u, 4u chasis kits ready for immersive experience.
Redundant CDUs, monitored fluid loops, and concurrent maintainability across pumps and control systems.
Real-time analytics enabling predictive maintenance and optimized load balancing.
Desert Dragon immersive cooling pods operate under a disciplined operational framework designed for large-scale AI and HPC deployments. Facilities follow specialized procedures, are staffed by trained technical personnel, and are continuously monitored through live telemetry across fluid systems, power infrastructure, and heat-rejection components. This operational model ensures predictable thermal performance, high availability, and smooth cluster scale-out, allowing client teams to focus on compute performance rather than cooling management.
Operational discipline and live telemetry keep clusters predictable and available, so tenants focus on compute, not cooling.
Operational features:
Desert Dragon helps clients introduce immersive cooling in a phased, low-risk manner aligned with their infrastructure roadmap. Immersive deployments can coexist with direct-to-chip (DTC) environments on the same campus, allowing organizations to support mixed-density compute portfolios while gradually expanding to ultra high-density AI and HPC capacity.
Readiness: Workload and hardware assessment, tank and block sizing, and evaluation of power and heat-rejection requirements
Pilot Deployment: Limited immersive cooling tanks deployed for performance tuning, fluid selection, and validation of the operating model
Scalable Expansion: Incremental addition of tank blocks, CDU capacity, and heat-rejection infrastructure to support cluster growth
Desert Dragon immersive environments are designed to operate within a governed infrastructure framework that prioritizes interoperability, operational safety, and compliance. Standardized tank architectures, approved fluid management practices, and documented operational procedures ensure reliable integration with diverse hardware platforms while maintaining strict environmental and safety controls.
Immersive cooling materially improves the energy profile and total cost of ownership for high-density compute environments. By removing server fans, improving heat-transfer efficiency, and enabling tighter thermal control, immersive systems reduce cooling energy requirements while supporting higher rack densities. The result is lower facility power overhead, longer hardware life, and a more efficient infrastructure footprint as AI and HPC clusters scale.
Immersive materially improves energy and lifecycle economics for hyperscale clusters:
