ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) today announced the launch of a breakthrough
platform of liquid heat transfer agents that cool high-performance
electronics more efficiently and effectively than traditional
methods that use air and water. These new heat transfer agents
lower operational costs for applications such as data centers that
use high-performance servers.
Solstice E-Cooling, the newest addition to Honeywell's
revolutionary line of next-generation low-global-warming potential
refrigerant technologies, uses a two-phase liquid cooling process
to remove heat from electronic applications while reducing
environmental impact. The new technology is available now and being
previewed at the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Expo
(AHR) in Orlando, Fla.
"Honeywell works to develop solutions that help the world
prepare for the future, and with the global demand for more data
and processing, there is an overwhelming need for efficient and
effective cooling mechanisms," said Chris
LaPietra, vice president and general manager, Honeywell
Stationary Refrigerants. "With Solstice E-Cooling, data centers and
other high-performance electronics can increase efficiency while
lowering costs and their carbon footprint."
Data centers currently use about 3% of the world's electricity,
and that number is expected to rise to 8% by 2030, according to
research by Global Markets Insights (GMI). With cooling systems
accounting for approximately 40% of total energy consumption, the
need for intelligent and energy-efficient solutions is expected to
drive data center cooling market growth.
The two-phase Solstice E-Cooling process allows for more
energy-efficient and uniform cooling, better heat rejection, and
reduced pumping power than single-phase liquid cooling, where fluid
remains in its liquid form throughout the cooling process. Solstice
E-Cooling is also a dielectric solution, serving as an electrical
insulator for equipment to prevent damage from contact with
fluids.
Honeywell has a long history of innovation in developing leading
heat transfer agents, including R-410A, Solstice yf, Solstice ze,
and Solstice zd. With an ultra-low GWP and zero ozone depletion
potential, Solstice E-Cooling allows for improved cooling
capabilities while minimizing environmental impact. Along with its
extensive heat transfer agent portfolio, Honeywell has
commercialized applications to prove the viability of two-phase
liquid cooling and to test products like Solstice E-Cooling for
global adoption.
Honeywell is a world leader in the development, manufacturing
and supply of refrigerants sold worldwide under the Solstice and
Genetron® brands for a wide range of applications,
including refrigeration and building and automobile air
conditioning. Honeywell and its suppliers have completed a
$900 million investment program in
R&D and new capacity based on Honeywell's hydrofluoro-olefin
(HFO) technology. For more information, visit
