Johnson Controls Invests in Accelsius

Johnson Controls has announced a “multi-million-dollar” strategic investment in two-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling firm, Accelsius.

“With the sharp growth in AI, cooling innovation has become a front-line imperative to meet the increasing demands of high-density data centers,” said Austin Domenici, vice president and general manager, Johnson Controls global data center solutions. “Leveraging our leading capabilities, our mission is to drive the industry forward to unlock new levels of energy efficiency across the cooling chain.”

“With power-dense AI workloads, data centers are moving to liquid cooling,” said Josh Claman, CEO of Accelsius. “Our two-phase, direct-to-chip (D2C) cooling solutions use non-conductive fluids in highly efficient loops to stay ahead of the demanding power-dense AI and HPC workloads. This technology enables 35 percent OpEx savings over single-phase direct-to-chip and eight–17 percent total cost of ownership savings.”
