Oleon Unveils New Brand ‘Qloe’

Belgium, November 19, 2024 – Oleon, a subsidiary of Avril and a global leader in natural-based oleochemicals, is proud to announce the launch of QloeTM, a pioneering brand dedicated to revolutionizing data center cooling solutions through immersion cooling. As data consumption surges globally due to cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and edge computing, the demand for efficient, sustainable, and safe cooling methods has never been more urgent. These biobased immersion cooling liquids offer a groundbreaking solution to this challenge.

MEETING THE COOLING CHALLENGES OF A DIGITAL FUTURE

The digital revolution is putting immense pressure on data centers to keep pace with the ever-growing need for computing power. Traditional air-cooling methods struggle to meet these demands, consuming excessive energy and driving up operational costs. Immersion cooling offers a much-needed alternative, delivering enhanced energy efficiency and superior heat management.
The biobased immersion cooling liquids of QloeTM address these challenges head-on by reducing energy consumption, minimizing the environmental footprint of data centers, and optimizing operational performance. Unlike conventional cooling liquids, QloeTM products are plant-based, non-toxic, biodegradable, and have zero global warming potential, making them the most sustainable option on the market.

a NEW ARE OF SUSTAINABLE COOLING

Oleon’s immersion cooling liquids are designed with safety, sustainability, and performance at their core. Developed by in house expert chemists, these fluids offer exceptional dielectric properties, material compatibility, and low viscosity, ensuring efficient heat transfer while maintaining the highest standards of safety. The liquids are also biodegradable, non-toxic, and have a high flash point, making them safe for both workers and the environment.
“At Oleon, we are committed to driving innovation through sustainability,” said Maarten Trautmann, Immersion Cooling Program Lead at Oleon. “With QloeTM, we’ve created a product that not only meets the growing demands of data centers but also provides a solution that is safer for people and better for the planet. Our biobased cooling liquids lead the way in reducing the environmental impact of digital infrastructure.”

Performance and Safety in Every Drop

Oleon’s proprietary immersion cooling fluids have been rigorously tested to ensure optimal thermal performance, extending the lifespan of IT equipment while lowering operating costs for data centers. With superior heat dissipation capabilities, QloeTM’s liquids significantly reduce the risk of overheating, enabling data centers to operate at higher capacities with minimal risk. The combination of sustainability, safety, and high-performance sets QloeTM apart from other cooling solutions on the market.

Key Features of Qloe’s Immersion Cooling Liquids:
