Join ExxonMobil and UNICOM Engineering to learn about our immersion cooling journey, product portfolio, performance studies, and computational fluid dynamics modeling. Our strategic collaborator, UNICOM, will share its practical application experiences with immersion cooling.
Overview
ExxonMobil invites you to join us on December 5th as we share our immersion cooling journey, highlighting what has been accomplished and what’s to come. We will provide an overview of our product portfolio and highlight two immersion cooling performance studies. The first study covers results from a chip-level thermal performance test, and the second study covers the results from a heat rejection performance test in a commercial immersion system. Weixue Tian, Applied Research Manager at ExxonMobil, will share key insights from our computational fluid dynamics modeling work in immersion cooling. We will also be featuring UNICOM Engineering, a leading IT hardware and systems integrator with demonstrated success in deploying immersion-ready servers. Austin Hipes, Chief Technologist and VP of Engineering, will share UNICOM Engineering’s practical application experiences in immersion cooling.
Key Takeaways
- Learn from the experts about data center immersion cooling fluids.
- Explore the role of computational fluid dynamics modeling in optimizing commercial immersion systems.
- Discuss the collaboration of ExxonMobil and UNICOM Engineering in developing advanced immersion cooling solutions.
- Examine data center immersion cooling product performance studies which demonstrate similar or better performance for EM DC 3235 Super than competitive products.
Speakers
Since joining ExxonMobil in 2010 after earning her Chemical Engineering degree, Betsy Cossette has held various roles across the lubricant value chain. She also holds an MBA from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School. Throughout her career at ExxonMobil, Cossette has held positions ranging from industrial lubricant technical sales to launching the Prowaxx™ brand and managing new product development in waxes. Currently, she leads market development activities focused on data center immersion cooling applications and is the new co-lead for the Server Thermochemical Reliability workstream in the Open Compute Project (OCP).
In the area of data center cooling, Weixue Tian leads a team developing analytical and computational fluid dynamics models for optimizing and screening of cooling fluids. The models are also used to visualize and provide fundamental understanding of interaction between cooling fluids and hardware. Before joining ExxonMobil in 2018, Tian spent 11 years of his industrial career on fluid dynamics and tribology at Caterpillar Inc. He obtained his PhD in thermal fluid science in 2005.
Austin Hipes is an accomplished leader, currently serving as the Chief Technologist and Vice President of Engineering for UNICOM Engineering. In his pivotal role, Hipes oversees product development, IT infrastructure, regulatory services, and field applications engineers (FAEs) while supporting sales design activities and educating customers on cutting-edge hardware and technology trends. With over 25 years of experience, he has honed his expertise in alternate cooling technologies while designing systems for data centers, network equipment providers, enterprise storage solutions, hyperconverged systems, and carrier-grade solutions. His influence extends as a member of the Intel U.S. Channel Board of Advisors, Data Center sub-team, the OCP Chair of the IT Equipment (ITE) Technical Committee in the Immersion Cooling Group, and the Dell IT Advisory Council (ITAC). Prior to his current role, Hipes held positions as the director of technology at Alliance Systems and as a solutions architect for Arrow Electronics. He studied electrical engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas.
