Dielectric Fluid Specs Checked Against OCP Immersion Limits
Three dielectric fluid sheets against OCP: equal heat per liter, unequal test setups
DLC vs Immersion Cooling Is a Boundary Question, Not a Race
Cold plates left 6% to 52% of rack heat in air; an immersion heat sink doubled case rise.
Why a Data Center Hotspot Escapes the Average Temperature
One rack face averages 21 °C while its top intake draws 31 °C. Why averages miss it.
