Aerospace-Grade Thermal Protection For Liquid-Cooled Data Centres
Honeywell Aerospace is extending its thermal-management technology into the data centre market with the development of the Thermal Response Module (TRM), designed to protect liquid-cooled AI infrastructure against short-term interruptions and fluctuations in cooling performance. The module uses proprietary phase-change materials to absorb and release thermal energy when required, acting as a buffer while the wider cooling system responds to changes in demand or power availability. The technology was tested at Equinix’s Co-Innovation Facility in Ashburn, Virginia, and is intended to integrate into existing cooling loops without requiring a redesign of the wider infrastructure. This development was first reported by Aviation Business Middle East.
