Abstract: Demand for dielectric fluids in thermal management is rapidly growing, driven by the need for efficient heat dissipation, superior thermal conductivity, and effective electrical insulation properties in various immersion cooling applications. Growing emphasis on energy conservation and sustainability further fuels the market's growth trajectory. Low-viscosity, synthetic ester-based dielectric fluids emerge as a compelling choice, offering customizable options that cater to diverse application requirements. These fluids are characterized by high thermal stability, efficient heat transfer capabilities, and excellent dielectric strength. Synthetic esters have proven to provide exceptional lubricity properties, meeting the required specifications in e-driveline fluids. They exhibit remarkable safety features, with low toxicity and volatility. Further, synthetic ester-based fluids are environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and contribute to overall water and energy consumption reduction.
