Abstract
Processes for converting Fischer-Tropsch products into a single-phase immersion cooling fluid and optionally aviation fuel are described. Processes for converting Fischer-Tropsch products to sustainable aviation fuel can be modified and tailored to co-produce an immersion cooling base oil which can be used to generate a fluid with the required properties for single-phase immersion cooling.
Claims20
A process for producing a single-phase immersion cooling fluid from a Fischer-Tropsch product stream comprising:
- providing the Fischer-Tropsch product stream comprising C8+ normal paraffins;
- hydrocracking the Fischer-Tropsch product stream in a hydrocracking reaction zone comprising a hydrocracking reactor in the presence of a hydrocracking catalyst under hydrocracking conditions to form a hydrocracked effluent stream comprising C8+ normal paraffins and isoparaffins;
- and
- separating the hydrocracked effluent stream in a product recovery zone into at least a single-phase immersion cooling fluid stream comprising C18+ normal paraffins and isoparaffins, the single-phase immersion cooling fluid having a flash point equal to or greater than 150° C. and a pour point equal to or less than −25° C., and a ratio of iso-paraffins to normal paraffin on a weight to weight basis equal to or greater than 60.
A process for producing a single-phase immersion cooling fluid from a Fischer-Tropsch product stream comprising:
- providing the Fischer-Tropsch product stream comprising C8+ normal paraffins;
- dewaxing the Fischer-Tropsch product stream in a dewaxing reaction zone comprising a dewaxing reactor in the presence of a dewaxing catalyst under dewaxing conditions to form a dewaxed effluent stream comprising C8+ normal paraffins and isoparaffins;
- and
- separating the dewaxed effluent stream in a product recovery zone into at least a single-phase immersion cooling fluid stream comprising C18+ normal paraffins and isoparaffins, the single-phase immersion cooling fluid having a flash point equal to or greater than 150° C. and a pour point equal to or less than −25° C., and a ratio of iso-paraffins to normal paraffin on a weight to weight basis equal to or greater than 60.
