What Happened

Aerospace Technology Applied to Data Centre Infrastructure

Honeywell Aerospace has tested its Thermal Response Module at Equinix’s Co-Innovation Facility in Virginia, aiming to support liquid-cooled AI servers during power disturbances and cooling fluctuations. The module uses phase-change materials to store and release thermal energy, providing stable coolant temperatures. According to Honeywell, the module delivers significant cooling power and can be expanded for thermal buffering. This project is part of Honeywell’s broader effort to apply its aerospace and defence expertise to adjacent markets, as reported by IT Brief UK.
