Novel two-phase cooling systems for data centres through additive manufacturing (AM2pC) - AM2pC
Project summary
Two-phase cooling is gaining novelty due to several advantages (passive, fewer problems with gravity), and an effective conversion of energy sources that are otherwise released as energy losses. The main area is the evaporator (Vapour chamber) located between the hot spot (electronics or battery) and the integrated liquid/gas section. In combination with additive manufacturing processes, vapour chambers show an effective solution for efficient and targeted heat dissipation and heat utilisation. In the AM2pC research project, structures and designs as well as process parameters for the additive manufacturing of these structures are being developed. Specifically, lattice structures (defined rod thicknesses), porous structures (laser process parameters) and fractal structures with copper (micro-alloyed) and AlSi10Mg are to be realised. The result will be novel and highly efficient structure variants that designed for optimal temperature distribution and can only be produced additively.Project Details
