Mineral Oiled Submerged Computer

A mineral oiled cooled computer system was built by our IT students.

How It Works ?

1. Submerge components

Standard computer components are submerged in mineral oil. The mineral oil is non-conductive, so the electronics do not short out.

2. Transfer heat to oil

Heat generated by the PC is transferred into the mineral oil at a rate over 5 times better than air.

 

3. Dissipate heat

The mineral oil is pumped through a radiator to dissipate the heat into the ambient air.
