浸入式冷卻市場 – 2024 年至 2029 年預測Immersion Cooling Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
浸沒式冷卻市場預計將以 23.98% 的複合年成長率成長,從 2022 年的 317,201,000 美元增至 2029 年的 1,427,887,000 美元。
浸入式冷卻是將電池、馬達和電腦等硬體設備浸入導熱介電液體中來冷卻它們的過程。礦物油、合成油和碳氟化合物基液體最常用於單相和多相浸沒式冷卻。單相浸沒式冷卻系統使用安裝的分配單元輸送冷卻水,以促進熱交換器單元的冷卻。
另一方面,冷卻劑保持液態。另一方面,在兩相冷卻系統中,冷卻水首先被蒸發,然後使用冷凝器盤管將冷卻水轉換回液體形式。刺激浸沒式冷卻解決方案消費的主要因素是加密貨幣挖礦活動的增加、主要經濟體資料中心容量的增加以及電動車熱效率的需求。
國際資料中心數量的成長及其容量的演變正在刺激資料中心的需求。根據北美資料中心編制的報告,截至 2021 年,美國已有 100 多個資料中心計劃已宣布或處於早期規劃階段,主要營運商和服務供應商包括微軟、蘋果、Facebook 和谷歌這些佔資料中心計劃的90%以上。採用浸入式冷卻系統有助於降低資料中心的能耗。
此外,透過採用浸入式冷卻,資料中心可顯著提高能源使用效率。國際能源總署 (IEA) 預計,由於數位技術的進步,資料中心的工作負載將從 2015 年的 1.8 億增加到 2021 年的 6.5 億。因此,主要國家資料中心的增加是預測期內推動浸入式冷卻市場成長的關鍵因素。
根據國際能源總署(IEA)的公告,預計2021年全球電動車銷量約660萬輛。電動車需求的不斷成長是浸入式冷卻市場擴大的機遇,因為電動車電池的冷卻採用浸入式冷卻。 Exoes 實驗室進行的研究測試表明,使用浸沒式冷卻解決方案來冷卻電動車電池可以延長電池壽命,透過減少熱失控事件來提高安全性,並促進電池快速充電。
此外,由於對有效溫度控管以防止電池火災事故的需求不斷成長,電動車製造商和路博潤公司和里卡多公司等化學公司正在使用浸入式技術,該技術涉及將電池直接浸入介電冷卻劑中,我正在考慮使用冷卻劑。因此,電動車對有效電池冷卻系統的需求不斷成長,預計將在預測期內推動對浸入式冷卻系統的需求。
傳統冷卻系統等替代方案的存在限制了浸入式冷卻解決方案的使用。然而,由於安裝方便且採用風冷產品的併發症較少,它擴大被用於 Google、Meta 和 Dell Technologies 等大型科技公司的資料中心。
此外,過去十年來,空氣冷卻一直是冷卻資料中心最常用的系統之一。然而,升級到浸入式冷卻系統需要資料中心產生額外的成本並修改某些服務基礎設施,因此一些資料中心繼續使用空氣冷卻技術,導致浸入式冷卻市場的成長放緩。
透過應用,加密貨幣挖礦領域預計將為浸入式冷卻市場的開拓做出重大貢獻。
促進加密貨幣挖礦過程的新軟體平台的發布,以及消費者對數位貨幣日益成長的興趣,增加了加密貨幣挖礦活動並增加了該領域的能源消費量。 IEA公佈的資料顯示,國際加密貨幣挖礦消耗的能源增加了300%,從2015年的4太瓦時增加到2021年的約100-140太瓦時。
該行業能源消耗的快速增加導致對浸入式冷卻系統的需求很高,以確保電腦系統的平穩運作。
亞太地區在浸入式冷卻市場中佔據主要佔有率,預計在預測期內將成長。
晶片技術和伺服器基礎設施的改進正在推動區域資料中心的成長,從而增加了對浸沒式冷卻解決方案的需求。例如,印度政府宣布,打算在年終前安裝 2,000 兆瓦的國家資料中心,以加速全國資料中心容量的成長計畫。
此外,隨著對微軟、戴爾科技和三星等地區巨頭的投資,資料中心產業也不斷擴張。例如,2022 年 11 月,亞馬遜網路服務報告在印度開設了第二個資料中心,名為 AWS 亞太地區。因此,區域資料中心的開拓預計將推動浸沒式冷卻市場。
The immersion cooling market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 23.98% to reach US$1,427.887 million in 2029 from US$317.201 million in 2022.
Immersion cooling is the process of cooling hardware equipment such as batteries, motors, and computers by immersing them in a thermally conductive dielectric liquid. Mineral oils, synthetic oils, and fluoro-carbon-based fluids are the most used liquids for single-phase and double-phase immersion cooling purposes. In a single-phase immersion cooling system, the coolant is transported using a distribution unit installed to facilitate cooling using a heat exchanger unit.
In contrast, the coolant retains its liquid state. In contrast, in a two-phase cooling system, the coolant is initially vaporized, and later condenser coils are employed to restore the liquid form of coolants. The major factors stimulating the consumption of immersion cooling solutions are the growing cryptocurrency mining activities, increasing national data center capacity among major economies, and the thermal efficiency demand in electric vehicles.
The growth in the number of data centers internationally and the evolution in their capacity is stimulating the demand for data centers. As per a report compiled by the North American data center, over 100 data center projects had either been announced or were in the initial process of being planned in the US as of 2021 with major operators and service providers such as Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, and Google accounting for approximately more than 90% of these data center projects. The adoption of immersion cooling systems aids data centers in lowering their energy consumption.
Further, the employment of immersion cooling can significantly increase the efficiency of energy usage by data centers. The International Energy Agency estimated that the workloads of data centers would increase by 260% to reach 650 million in 2021 from its initial value of 180 million in 2015, driven by the evolution of digital technologies. Therefore, the rise in data centers across major countries is a significant factor expected to promote the growth of the immersion cooling market over the forecast period.
The International Energy Agency announced that the worldwide sale of electric vehicles was estimated at around 6.6 million in 2021. The rising demand for electric vehicles offers an opportunity for the expansion of the immersion cooling market since they are employed to cool the batteries of electric vehicles. Research tests conducted by Exoes's Lab revealed that using immersion cooling solutions to cool EV batteries prolongs battery life, enhances safety by lowering thermal runway accidents, and facilitates quick battery charging.
Furthermore, the increasing need for efficient thermal management to prevent battery fire accidents results in consideration of immersion cooling usage by EV manufacturers and chemical companies such as the Lubrizol Corporation and Ricardo PLC to let the battery be directly submerged in dielectric coolants. Therefore, the increasing need for effective battery cooling systems in electric vehicles is expected to drive the demand for immersion cooling systems over the forecast period.
The presence of substitutes like conventional cooling systems limits the usage of immersion cooling solutions. However, the easy installation and fewer complications involved with adopting air-cooling products are promoting its use by the data centers of major technology companies such as Google, Meta, and Dell Technologies.
Further, air coolers have been one of the most dominantly used systems to cool data centers over the last decade. However, the upgradation to immersion cooling systems requires data centers to incur additional costs and make certain service infrastructure modifications, causing the continued use of air-cooling technology among certain data centers, leading to a slower growth of the immersion cooling market.
By application, the cryptocurrency mining segment is expected to contribute majorly to the development of the immersion cooling market.
The rise in cryptocurrency mining activities fueled by the release of new software platforms facilitating the cryptocurrency mining process and consumers' increasing focus on digital currency is resulting in high energy consumption by this sector. As a result, the international energy consumed for cryptocurrency mining increased by 300%, changing from 4 TWh in 2015 to approximately 100 to 140 TWh in 2021, as per the data released by the IEA.
This sector's massive surge in energy consumption results in high demand for immersion cooling systems to ensure the smooth functioning of computer systems.
Asia Pacific region holds a substantial share of the immersion cooling market and is expected to grow in the forecast period.
The enhancement in chip technology and server infrastructure is promoting the growth of regional data centers, creating an increased demand for immersion cooling solutions. For instance, the Indian government declared that the National Data Centre intends to accelerate the nationwide rise in scheduled data center capacity by installing 2000 MW by the end of 2027.
Further, the data center sector is expanding by investing in the region's leading companies such as Microsoft, Dell Technologies, and Samsung. For example, Amazon Web Services reported in November 2022 the opening of its second data center, AWS Asia Pacific Region, in India. Therefore, developing regional data centers is expected to drive the immersion cooling market.
