A Coolant BUILT SPECIFICALLY for Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling Systems
High-performance propylene glycol-based coolant designed for direct-to-chip and liquid-cooled data centers.
A DATA CENTER COOLANT ENGINEERED TO OUT-PERFORM Anything else you've RUN through your loop
As microprocessors and AI workloads drive thermal loads higher than ever, traditional air cooling systems are nearing their limits. In many deployments, the operational cost of air cooling now exceeds the hardware it’s meant to protect—accelerating the shift to direct-to-chip (D2C) liquid cooling.
That’s where Dober’s COOLWAVE DC steps in.
-
High thermal efficiency for single-phase liquid cooling systems, engineered for HPC and hyperscale data centers
-
Proven compliance with industry standards, including the Open Compute Project (OCP) Guidelines and ASTM D8040 corrosion resistance testing
-
Material compatibility across copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, and high-performance elastomers like EPDM, FKM, and PTFE—ensuring smooth integration with both in-rack and centralized CDU-based systems
