Ready for the summer, we’re turning down the heat!

FT902 Immersion Cooler for our Capillary Viscometers.

The sun is shining, holidays are calling, and temperatures are rising. That can only mean one thing: summer is here. And while the sun turns up the heat, we turn things down.

No ice cream in our lab — but things are still getting seriously cool. While it keeps warming up outside, we are busy cooling, tempering, and measuring inside. Joining the team just in time for the season is the FT902 immersion cooler from JULABO GmbH. With temperatures down to -90°C, it could probably handle a scoop or two — but that is not quite what we had in mind.

Keeping Immersion Cooling Safe.

The Critical Role of Permittivity and Conductivity.

As artificial intelligence continues its rapid expansion, immersion cooling of servers is evolving just as quickly — from a niche solution into a serious alternative for high-performance data centers. In this approach, electronic components are directly submerged in specialized cooling liquids, known as immersion cooling fluids, which must be both thermally efficient and electrically safe. Two physical properties are particularly critical in this context: relative permittivity and specific electrical conductivity.

Precision in dielectric testing requires accurate temperature control.

Perfect temperature – precise measurement thanks to a strong partnership.

When our long-standing partner JULABO writes about precise temperature control technology, we at flucon naturally prick up our ears – after all, their high-precision temperature control devices have been an integral part of our own measurement systems for many years. Their current article hits the mark: If you want to measure precisely, you need to control the temperature with pinpoint accuracy.

Because, especially in the electrical characterization of lubricants – for example, through conductivity measurements or dielectric spectroscopy – temperature often determines the meaningfulness of the results. Even the smallest deviations can cause significant differences in the measurement results. For us at flucon, it’s clear: Temperature control is not an accessory – it is the heart of our measurement technology.

Introducing Our Film Thickness Feature.

Newly patented: lubrication analysis with flucon’s E-Lub Tester.

May we introduce? Our E-Lub Tester is the world’s first fully automated dielectric tribometer – and now also equipped with a patented lubricant film thickness feature.

The E-Lub Tester enables precise measurement of the impedance of a moving rolling bearing filled with a lubricant sample under variable operating conditions. Speed, axial load, and lubricant temperature can be varied individually or in combination to determine the resulting lubrication condition.

Ready for market – in only eight weeks.

In-situ oil aeration measurement with the all-new CGS In-Situ.

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking innovation from the flucon team: Our trusted inline aeration sensor CGS has received a cutting-edge upgrade – introducing the CGS In-Situ!

This new sensor variant enables direct in-situ measurement of air concentration (i.e., the gas phase percentage in vol%) by means of  a compact G 3/4″ screw-in module. The CGS In-Situ opens up entirely new possibilities for precise monitoring of aerated fluids – especially in applications where space, flexibility, and easy integration are key.
