BAC immersion cooling approved as part of Intel Data Center Certified Solution

ANTWERP, Belgium, 2 December 2025: BAC, a manufacturer of evaporative cooling and heat transfer products, announced its immersion cooling tank has been approved as part of the Intel Data Center Certified Solution for Immersion Cooling for fourth- and fifth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Making the announcement through a Press Release, the company said the approval marks a significant milestone in industry efforts to validate next-generation immersion cooling solutions that meet the efficiency and sustainability demands of modern data centers.

According to BAC, the Intel Data Center Certified Solution for Immersion Cooling is the result of rigorous testing and collaboration between the company and IT hardware manufacturers, highlighting the strength of cross-industry cooperation to accelerate the development of high-performance cooling systems. The certification, BAC added, allows Intel to offer a Xeon Processor Single-Phase Immersion Warranty Rider, intended to provide customers with greater confidence in the durability, efficiency and compatibility of immersion-cooled IT infrastructure.

BAC said as part of the program, testing was conducted at Advanced Data Center Development Lab in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. BAC said its immersion cooling tanks with patented CorTex technology played a key role in delivering reliable system performance. Jan Tysebeert, General Manager, Data Center, BAC, said: “Immersion cooling represents a critical advancement in data center thermal management and this approval is a powerful validation of that progress.”

BAC said the approval builds on its ongoing work in the design and development of high-efficiency data center cooling technologies. The company added that its COBALT immersion cooling system combines indoor immersion tanks with outdoor heat rejection, enabling data centers to achieve some of the industry’s lowest Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) values while enhancing uptime and sustainability.

Tysebaert added: “Through rigorous joint testing and validation by Intel, we’ve demonstrated that immersion cooling can safeguard and enhance IT hardware performance while delivering more energy efficiency than ever before. Programs like this are essential to accelerating industry adoption by ensuring every component — tank, fluid, processor and memory — meets the same high standards of reliability and performance.”

BAC said it continues to collaborate with global technology partners to advance immersion cooling standards, promote sustainable computing and help customers deploy scalable, energy-efficient data center solutions.
