Cray-2 Fluorinert immersion cooling
Circuit board stacks fully immersed in Fluorinert dielectric coolant, pumped past the boards and heat-exchanged externally; the densest board packaging of its era, and the source of the machine's 'Bubbles' nickname.
Why this part
Cray-2 could not be air-cooled at all: total immersion was a requirement of the packaging density, not an efficiency choice, and it predates the industry's return to liquid cooling by roughly two decades.

“Units recorded” sums only the edges where a public source states a quantity. It is a floor, not a total, and should never be read as installed base.
