The transformative role of liquid cooling
New liquid cooling technologies can provide higher cooling capacity, although implementing liquid cooling systems often requires high costs and long deployment times.
- ebm‑papst's new fans for liquid-to-air (L2A) systems are cost-effective and easier to implement, all the while offering greater cooling capacity and higher efficiencies.
Best-in-class cooling solutions get even better
As the leading supplier of ventilation and cooling technology, ebm‑papst has been at the forefront of data center cooling, combining energy efficiency with high power density.
AxiEco 200
