Midas Immersion Cooling, Motul, and Hypertec have jointly announced the validation of Motul’s dielectric immersion fluid, EGEN DCC 100R8, for use with Hypertec artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) servers in Midas immersion cooling tanks. According to the companies, joint lab testing on Hypertec’s immersion-optimized servers inside Midas commercial tanks has confirmed full compatibility. Results indicate support for higher rack power densities, reduced energy consumption, and lower environmental impact in data center environments.
Midas specializes in immersion cooling solutions designed for AI and HPC data center workloads. Its systems use a patented redundant architecture to enable plug-and-play deployments and higher-density racks. The validation project examined Hypertec’s server platforms configured for immersion, confirming their performance when cooled using Motul’s EGEN DCC 100R8 fluid in production-ready Midas tanks.
Motul reports that EGEN DCC 100R8 is formulated for thermal management in data center immersion cooling applications. The fluid provides high thermal transfer performance, stable dielectric properties, and maintains stability at elevated temperatures. It is halogen-free and produced from renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic materials.
Target applications include AI, HPC, and hybrid edge or cloud deployments for data center operators seeking distributed and scalable cooling architectures.
“Immersion cooling technology is our only business, leading with our partners, we give data hardware manufacturers optimal environments to push the boundaries of HPC and AI, including Edge/Cloud hybrid solutions. This partnership with Motul and Hypertec is a major step for efficient, sustainable data center cooling,” said Scott Sickmiller, CEO at Midas Immersion Cooling.
“As AI-driven digital acceleration advances, data centers must deliver more performance with less energy and environmental impact. This joint validation with Motul and Midas shows that immersion cooling is scalable and a decisive lever to cut power use and CO₂ emissions and extend server lifespan, advancing AI infrastructure,” said Patrick Scateni, Vice President, Business Development – Hypertec HPC and AI.
“For more than 170 years, Motul has created fluids that boost performance. With EGEN DCC 100R8, we bring this expertise to data centers with a performant, sustainable fluid that offers high thermal transfer, excellent dielectric behavior, stability at high temperatures and a halogen-free formula based on renewable, readily biodegradable and non-toxic raw materials,” said Christophe Lacroix, Chief Innovation and Sustainability Officer at Motul.
