Immersion cooling offers dramatic improvements in efficiency, sustainability, and density. So why hasn’t it gone mainstream?

‍

1. Inertia of the Familiar Legacy systems are deeply entrenched. Data centers have long relied on air cooling, and shifting to a new paradigm requires investment, retraining, and rethinking of workflows.

2. Upfront Cost Perceptions Though operational savings are significant, immersion cooling systems can appear more expensive up front. Many decision-makers focus on CAPEX rather than total cost of ownership (TCO).

3. Compatibility Concerns Some OEMs don’t officially support immersion-cooled configurations. While this is rapidly changing, it remains a point of hesitation for cautious buyers.

4. Risk Aversion There’s a psychological barrier to placing electronics into liquid, even if that liquid is non-conductive and completely safe.
