MAHLE develops cooling unit for Infineon data centers
Infineon and MAHLE pool their expertise on a pre-development project to protect high-performance modules against data centers overheating
The surge in data centers brings critical sustainability challenges to the forefront of the public agenda, and MAHLE and Infineon have developed solutions to address one of the most pressing: thermal management.
Where high currents flow, electronic systems can overheat. This is why effective cooling is crucial to the efficiency and performance of electronic components. Infineon, the semiconductor solutions supplier, and thermal management specialist MAHLE have pooled their expertise. For the development of Infineon’s new high-performance EasyPACK S module, MAHLE is supplying a cooler tailored specifically to meet the requirements of Infineon. The module controls electric switchgear and functions and can be used, for example, to control the power supply systems of data centers.
The Electronic Cooling Unit for Infineon Data Center Applications in the Words of MAHLE
“Cooperation with Infineon is a further example of the way MAHLE is successfully transferring its competence developed in the automotive industry to other applications,” said Christian Kuechlin, Vice President, MAHLE Industrial and Special Solutions.
The new power module from Infineon offers high performance density in a small space. The cooling unit developed by MAHLE, which is about the size of two chocolate bars on top of each other, is installed directly on the circuit board and effectively dissipates heat from the modules using a coolant.
As part of Group Sales, MAHLE recently consolidated its non-automotive activities into a new Industrial and Special Solutions unit. This will enable the group to address new customers more effectively. A customer-focused technical sales approach, combined with application development expertise, significantly accelerates the development of tailor-made customer solutions. The areas of production, logistics, purchasing and quality are also linked more closely. This way, available plant capacity can be used more effectively for Industrial and Special Solutions business.
