Integrating the advantages of heat dissipation and built-in fire protection, this represents a data center revolution surpassing the Novec 1230 era.

I. Overwhelming Advantages of Functional Integration: IM2 Balances Efficiency and Security

Novec 1230 is a specially designed gaseous fire extinguishing agent whose core function is limited to protecting the air inside a room during a fire. However, the IM2 is designed with a more forward-thinking approach, specifically tailored for two-phase immersion cooling systems .

Inventec IM2’s leading performance:

  • Exceptional thermal conductivity: IM2 has extremely low dynamic viscosity and surface tension, ensuring optimal contact between the fluid and the surface of electronic components, thereby achieving excellent thermal conductivity in two-phase immersion cooling systems.
  • Ultimate asset protection: While the Novec 1230 only protects the entire space, the IM2 directly immerses charged electronic devices in the fluid, utilizing its high dielectric insulation properties to achieve the most direct and immediate protection for high-value assets.
  • Built-in fire barrier: As a dielectric fluid, IM2 has fire-extinguishing properties, providing additional protection in the event of a fire. This means it’s not just a coolant, but also the first line of defense for your server rack.

In today’s world, where integrated efficiency is emphasized, the limitations of single, passive protection systems, such as the Novec 1230, are becoming increasingly apparent:

  • “Fire extinguishing” only: Novec 1230 is a specialized fire extinguishing agent and cannot simultaneously provide the thermal management capabilities required by modern data centers.
  • Single purpose, high cost: Deploying the Novec 1230 system requires you to design, install, and maintain a separate gas pipeline and cylinders, and this system does not bring any efficiency improvement to daily operations.
  • Room-level protection, not asset-level: The Novec 1230 is designed to extinguish a fire in an entire room, but by the time the fire is detected and the system is activated, your core computing devices have already suffered thermal damage.

IM2, through the high safety of the liquid itself (non-flammable, no flash point), elevates fire safety from a passive “room-level” to an active “equipment-level”.

III. A New Benchmark for Sustainability: The Environmental Commitment of GREENWAY™ Certification

Environmental responsibility is a key consideration in the selection of materials for the data center.
The Inventec IM2 embodies a strong commitment to the environment:

  • Ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP): IM2 has an ultra-low GWP of less than 10.
  • Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP): IM2 has an ODP of 0.
  • Green Pioneer: IM2 is a member of the Inventec GREENWAY™ product line, representing its low environmental impact.
  • Recyclability: IM2 is recyclable and reusable.

IM2’s value lies in its integration of high-efficiency operation, equipment safety and sustainability into a single solution, fundamentally simplifying the operational complexity of next-generation data centers.

Choose the future for your data center

Choosing Inventec THERMASOLV IM2 is not just choosing a coolant, but choosing an integrated, efficient, and sustainable operating strategy.
Break free from the limitations of Novec 1230, which only provides single fire suppression functionality. With IM2, achieve superior thermal management, built-in asset protection, and a truly low environmental impact commitment.

Inventec IM2: The smartest choice for data centers in the new era.
