Applications
1. Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment
Galden® HT 55 can be used in temperature-control systems connected to semiconductor processing equipment, including plasma etching, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition and ion implantation tools.
Its low viscosity supports efficient circulation through compact cooling channels, while its chemical inertness helps minimize the risk of fluid degradation or contamination. Stable temperature control can improve process consistency, wafer quality and equipment reliability.
2. Recirculating Chillers
One of the most important applications of Galden® HT 55 is as a heat-transfer medium in recirculating chillers used for semiconductor tools, analytical instruments and high-precision manufacturing equipment.
Its extremely low pour point allows the fluid to remain mobile under very low-temperature conditions. This supports reliable cold starts, consistent circulation and accurate temperature regulation across demanding operating cycles.
3. Two-Phase Immersion Cooling
Galden® HT 55 has a defined boiling point of approximately 55°C, making it suitable for properly engineered two-phase immersion cooling systems.
Heat generated by electronic components causes the fluid to boil. The resulting vapor rises, condenses on a cooling surface and returns to the liquid bath. This evaporation-and-condensation cycle enables efficient heat removal while maintaining relatively uniform component temperatures.
4. Server and High-Performance Computing Cooling
Galden® HT 55 may be considered for specialized cooling systems serving servers, processors and high-density computing hardware.
Its dielectric properties help reduce the risk of electrical short circuits, while its low boiling point supports passive heat removal through controlled boiling. It is most relevant to systems specifically designed for two-phase cooling at temperatures compatible with its 55°C boiling point.
FAQ
1. Is Galden® HT 55 electrically conductive?
No. Galden® HT 55 is a dielectric fluid with a typical dielectric strength of approximately 40 kV across a 2.54 mm gap. Its electrical insulation properties support thermal management near sensitive electronic and electrical components.
2. Can Galden® HT 55 be used for immersion cooling?
Yes. Its dielectric properties and defined 55°C boiling point make it suitable for properly designed direct-contact and two-phase immersion cooling systems.
In a two-phase system, the fluid absorbs heat, boils, condenses on a cooled surface and returns to the liquid bath. The system must include appropriate vapor containment, condensation capacity and fluid-recovery controls.
3. Is Galden® HT 55 suitable for semiconductor chillers?
Yes. Galden® HT 55 is particularly suitable for low-temperature recirculating chillers used with semiconductor processing and testing equipment. Its low viscosity supports circulation through compact channels, while its dielectric and chemically inert characteristics reduce electrical and chemical compatibility concerns.
4. Does Galden® HT 55 leave residues?
Under proper operating conditions, Galden® HT fluids do not normally form carbonaceous or decomposition residues. This helps reduce contamination, deposits and the risk of circulating-pump seizure caused by degraded fluid.
5. Is Galden® HT 55 compatible with metals, plastics and elastomers?
Galden® PFPE fluids are compatible with many commonly used metals, plastics and elastomers. However, compatibility can vary according to material formulation, operating temperature and thermal cycling.
Testing should therefore be performed using the actual seals, gaskets, hoses and system components under representative operating conditions.
