Advanced Cooling Technologies (ACT), a thermal management solutions provider, recently announced a planned 50,000-square-foot expansion of its Lancaster manufacturing facility.
The expansion will strengthen ACT’s domestic manufacturing capabilities and support the high-volume production of cold plates for liquid-cooled data center applications. The space will be dedicated to the manufacture of single-phase and two-phase cold plates designed for artificial intelligence processors and accelerated computing platforms. Output will come online through phased production ramps.
ACT expects initial production capacity will exceed approximately 500,000 cold plates annually.
“Thermal requirements in data centers are changing rapidly, and customers are designing systems with liquid cooling as a baseline assumption,” Bryan Muzyka, ACT vice president of sales and marketing, said. “This expansion allows us to align our manufacturing capacity with our best-in-class technical performance, to meet the demands of the industry for high quality, domestic manufactured solutions.”
Cold plate-based liquid cooling enables technology for AI and high-density compute deployments. ACT’s high performance cold plates use advanced internal flow structures and optimized heat transfer surfaces combined with select material to achieve superior thermal performance and long-term reliability across high-density rack environments.
Advanced Cooling Technologies serves customers in the data center, defense, energy, HVAC, medical and space industries.
