3M's PFAS exit killed the supply chain for two-phase immersion cooling in DCs
Summary
The Cooling Report analyzes how 3M's PFAS exit disrupted the supply chain for two-phase immersion cooling and explores regulatory heat reuse mandates in Germany, the economics of liquid cooling versus air cooling, and the looming labor skills barrier. It also covers the broader data-center water-energy nexus, AI-driven cooling trends, and pilots testing zero-water strategies.
