Thermal Management for Direct-to-Chip Cooling

COOLWAVE DC-25, DC-30 & DC-55: Proven Performance USP GRADE COOLANT Engineered for Data

COOLWAVE DC HEAT TRANSFER FLUIDS

Engineered Performance for Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling Systems

DOBER COOLWAVE DC-25, DC-30, and DC-55 are engineered to deliver optimum corrosion, thermal management, freeze and burst protection for liquid-cooled data center applications. These high-performance heat transfer fluids provide robust corrosion and cavitation protection across a wide range of materials, including aluminum, solder, brass, copper, cast iron, and steel alloys.

A proprietary scale inhibitor and surfactant package prevents deposit formation, ensuring consistent heat transfer efficiency and system performance for reliable, long-term operation.
