Yes, you can immerse the standard Bitmain PSUs, and most PSUs, in our BitCool and ElectroCool Dielectric Coolants and they will operate flawlessly, even the fans that internal to the PSUs will operate just fine in our coolant..
The only draw back is that most of the PSUs are fairly efficient (92-97% efficient) so the volume of Coolant they take up in the tank is often more expensive than the cooling requirements they require. So unless you need them to be completely silent we recommend that you weigh the advantages of cooling them in coolant vs the cost of the coolant required. Keep in mind that if you do not immerse the PSUs then you will require some type of comfort cooling in your environment to dissipate the heat from the PSUs.

Yes, it's very common that fans and motors have lubricated bearings. This grease will often dissolve in our coolant products, but that doesn't cause any material changes in electrical or heat transfer characteristics. Sometimes the coolant will become cloudy, but, again, that doesn't have an effect on the functional characteristics.
