AI is overheating data centers, and air cooling just can’t keep up.


In this eye-opening conversation, Cosimo Pecchioli and Darren Burgess from BP’s Castrol Immersion Division pull back the curtain on the future of thermal management—and why liquid cooling is no longer optional.


From AI workloads to hyperscalers, learn how industry giants are quietly deploying immersion cooling at scale, what it really takes to design a liquid-cooled system, and why ignoring this shift could lead to catastrophic failures.


🔧 Key insights include:

- Why air cooling is dead for AI and how hyperscalers are adopting liquid cooling

- The real cost savings and efficiency gains of immersion technology

- Challenges of scaling liquid cooling: fluid chemistry, maintenance, and hidden risks

- How BP Castrol is innovating with additives to handle the next generation of AI chips

- Why the industry must collaborate—and what happens when it doesn’t


💡 If your data center isn’t liquid-cooled, you’re already behind. Watch now to stay ahead of the AI curve!
