Innovative cooling technologies for servers and desktop PCs
The invisible heroes: Ensure top performance with innovative server cooler and PC cooler solutions
Modern servers and desktop PCs fulfil a variety of tasks, ranging from data processing and storage to the execution of complex applications and services. Servers serve as powerful processors and keepers of digital data that are used in networks for various purposes such as hosting websites, managing emails and databases and providing applications and services. Their constant level of performance and reliability is crucial for all workstations and processes that depend on them.
Cooling concepts for high-performance servers: Efficiency and longevity
In terms of cooling, server components in particular, such as processors (CPUs) and graphics cards (GPUs), require effective server cooling, as they dissipate a lot of power loss as heat during computing-intensive tasks. Other server components such as SSD hard drives, memory modules and power supply units are in continuous load operation and also require optimally dimensioned server cooling. In the development and testing of server coolers, it is primarily long-lasting peak loads in which heat sinks must prove themselves and prevent the electronic components from overheating. Liquid coolers with an external cooling circuit are an efficient alternative for complete server rack cooling in data centres. Maintaining the optimum operating temperature of the components with rack cooling maximises their performance and service life and reduces maintenance costs.

IT servers and desktop PCs with high cooling requirements
In electronics, the heat generated by current-carrying components is an unavoidable and usually annoying side effect. As a product manager and development engineer of electronic systems, free yourself from the risk of overheating and expensive development loops by placing the thermal management of your device in the hands of EKL! We see ourselves as a partner in your development, pursuing the same goals as you: to manufacture a reliable, high-quality and durable product at competitive prices.
Cooling application servers | archive servers | data servers | video servers
Application servers are used to provide application programmes and business logic for clients within a network. Archive servers specialise in the long-term storage and backup of data and documents, which are often subject to strict legal retention requirements. Data servers enable centralised access and management of files and databases, which improves the efficiency and security of data handling. Video servers are responsible for the storage, processing and delivery of video content, often with additional functions such as transcoding and streaming. EKL offers a wide range of heat sinks for processors, storage media, network and graphics cards as well as power supply units to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Cooling communication servers | mail servers | web servers
Communication servers are responsible for mediating data between different IT systems or medical devices by converting between different integration levels, protocols, formats and standards. Mail servers, on the other hand, manage email inboxes and are responsible for receiving, forwarding, storing and sending emails. Web servers are primarily used to deliver web content to clients such as web browsers, whereby they transfer both static and dynamically generated content from databases. EKL develops and produces the appropriate heat sinks for cooling server components such as processors, memory modules and network components, which reliably prevent loss of performance or damage.
Cooling high-performance servers | industrial servers | Linux servers
In the IT infrastructure, these servers perform critical tasks by processing large amounts of data, performing complex calculations and providing a reliable platform for cloud computing, Industry 4.0 applications and scientific simulations, for example. The installed server hardware requires efficient cooling, including CPUs, GPUs, storage media and network devices. Modern cooling technologies from EKL include air and liquid cooling systems that are tailored to the specific requirements and high-performance demands of cooling server components.
Desktop PC | Gaming PC cooling
Applications that place intensive demands on the CPU chip or GPU processor in the PC can generate a lot of heat loss in the PC hardware. These include video editing, 3D rendering or increasingly demanding games. Components that require effective PC cooling include the processor (CPU), graphics card (GPU), RAM and power supply unit (PSU). Modern cooling technologies include aluminium coolers with fans, supplemented by copper heat spreaders and heat pipes. For high-end processors with very high heat generation, water cooling using liquid heat sinks is an option. Liquid coolers dissipate heat even faster and more efficiently, they also maintain constant performance and extend the service life of the hardware.
EKL sells a range of high-performance CPU coolers, fans and hard drive coolers under the Alpenföhn® brand:

Laptop | Notebook cooling
Laptop and notebook cooling poses a particular challenge, as the limited size of the compact housing offers little space for classic finned heat sinks. The increasingly powerful components must be kept within a safe temperature range with special CPU coolers for laptops, despite limited air circulation. EKL offers the tried and tested heatpipe heat sinks for laptop and notebook cooling. They quickly transport the heat away from the electronic component to the housing and the aluminium or copper heat sink installed there. Tiny fans provide forced ventilation to quickly dissipate the power loss into the ambient air and draw in cool air.

Development
Feasibility / simulation
Feasibility / simulation
We test the idea for your heat sink virtually in the thermal simulation. Realistic computer simulations allow variations in manufacturing processes, system structures and other parameters.
Performance optimisation
Even a well-functioning heat sink can still be optimised. We determine the "how" and "how much" by simulating different materials or cooling technologies, for example, as well as simulating various environmental parameters.
Cost optimisation
An expensive heat sink can often be made significantly cheaper by using an alternative manufacturing process. Whether with the same or application-specific performance: we support your product development in reducing costs.
