The rapid growth of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and high-performance computing is driving a continuous increase in thermal densities within data centers. In this context, air cooling is reaching its limits and is no longer sufficient to ensure both performance and energy efficiency.


Direct-to-Chip Cooling is now emerging as a key alternative, enabling cooling directly at the source by targeting critical components.


With EGEN DLC fluids range, Motul offers a specifically developed cooling solution for Direct-to-Chip systems. Compatible with existing infrastructures, such as filters, manifolds, CDUs, piping, and more, EGEN DLC 100R25 can be easily integrated into liquid cooling systems as a drop-in solution. It actively supports the transition of data centers toward more efficient, more compact, and more sustainable models.


Fully bio-based, non-toxic, and biodegradable, EGEN DLC fluids meet the growing demand for reducing the environmental impact of data centers. Their use can deliver significant energy savings while contributing to lower CO₂ emissions.


Their low viscosity also helps reduce the energy required for pumping, thereby improving overall system efficiency. By directly targeting the most critical areas of your infrastructure, and thanks to its excellent thermal properties, EGEN DLC fluids enable the achievement of highly competitive PUE levels.


The fluids are also aligned with the thermal recommendations of the Open Compute Project, ensuring relevance for next-generation architectures.


Designed for demanding environments, EGEN DLC fluids offer excellent thermal stability as well as enhanced resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and bacterial growth. Their no foaming properties, along with  compatibility towards common materials such as metals, elastomers, adhesives  facilitates deployment. Their non-toxic formulation also simplifies transportation, storage, and handling operations for the personnel. Its compatibility with common materials such as copper and brass facilitates deployment. Its non-toxic formulation also simplifies transportation, storage, and handling operations.
