Accelsius joins APRA-E COOLERCHIPS project

Accelsius, founded by Innventure (INV), has been selected as a key contributor to a U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E COOLERCHIPS project led by Professor Dereje Agonafer, a Presidential Distinguished Professor and Member of the National Academy of Engineering, at The University of Texas at Arlington. The project, “Holistic Co-Design of Novel Hybrid Cooling Technology for the Data Center of the Future,” will develop a next-generation hybrid architecture that combines direct-to-chip evaporative cooling with air-based solutions such as rear door heat exchangers. Accelsius will support system-level testing by providing its proprietary MR250, a multi-rack, in-row, 250kW two-phase Coolant Distribution Unit, along with comprehensive integration support. The MR250 will be incorporated into the project’s test infrastructure at the UT Arlington campus, with general availability planned for late 2025.
