Activities

The Immersion sub-project enables community driven activities focused on facilitating OCP and industry progression of immersion cooling. Within the Rack and Power ACS group, this project also facilitates harmonization between different ACS sub-projects and the Advanced Cooling Facilities sub-project to the DCF group.

Immersion Requirements Qualification

The Immersion Requirements sub-project is responsible for the generation of requirements for immersion solutions. The requirements are aimed at ensuring accurate and factual technology positioning and weeding out marketing claims vs solid engineering. Vendors need to qualify against this document to gain access to a variety of OCP domains, including marketplace or SPEC recognition. Some examples are as follows:

- OCP immersion spec submission

- OCP Logo accreditation for immersion solutions (accepted/inspired)

- OCP solution branding

- OCP Marketplace positioning

- OCP Solution building

The qualification process is as follows:

- Request for qualification to Rolf Brink and John Bean;

- Complete Immersion Requirements Checklist Provided by PL’s (Sample: Sample SPEC sheet);

- Community presentation (Public), outlining why and how a solution qualifies against Immersion Requirements;

- Interactive peer review (Non-Public) by a one-off panel of volunteer experts, selected by PL’s (authors, reviewers, active community members) and Overseen by Immersion PL’s;

- The panel Approves, Declines or provisionally approves with follow-up items.
