The Watt Hour - Episode 3

In this episode of The Watt Hour, we sit down with Steve Pignato, President of Standard Fluids, to explore the critical role of dielectric fluids in powering the future of high-performance computing (HPC), liquid immersion cooling for data centers, and thermal management in next-gen battery systems.

Steve shares insights from his deep industry experience—including his work with 3M’s Novec fluids and now at Standard Fluids—discussing:

• Evolution of two-phase and single-phase immersion cooling

• Fluid innovation for energy-dense battery systems

• Decarbonization and sustainability trends in data center design

• How advanced fluids are enabling the next wave of AI, defense, and aerospace technologies

From the front lines of thermal innovation, this episode is a must-listen for engineers, technologists, and visionaries building the digital and energy infrastructure of tomorrow.
