LiPOLY will showcase two innovative thermal management materials at Techno Frontier 2026: the AS27-s Thermal Insulation Pad and the T-top99-s High Thermal Conductive Gap Filler, helping engineers solve challenges in thermal insulation, heat dissipation, and system reliability.
As the demand for AI computing continues to grow, heat dissipation has become a critical aspect of server and data center development[cite: 1]. COMPUTEX Taipei 2026 showcases a variety of advanced thermal management technologies, including liquid cooling, immersion cooling, and high-performance thermal interface materials, reflecting the industry's high regard for energy efficiency and system reliability
With the exponential growth of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) chips, conventional air cooling and general liquid cooling systems are rapidly approaching their physical thermal limits. Immersion cooling technology has officially emerged as the leading strategic architecture for next-generation data centers and high-power AI server thermal management.
Many believe that immersion cooling systems can directly dissipate heat, making thermal interface materials unnecessary. However, in practical applications, gaps still exist between chips, heatsinks, and other components. Without appropriate thermal pads, heat transfer efficiency decreases, and system reliability may be compromised. Understanding the role of a Thermal Pad in an immersion cooling environment is a critical key to enhancing thermal performance.
The fire incident at the California lithium battery energy storage plant has once again highlighted the safety challenges faced by large-scale energy storage systems. When a battery experiences thermal runaway, it can trigger a chain reaction and release flammable or harmful gases, impacting the surrounding environment and the health of local residents. Through comprehensive thermal management design and robust safety protection measures, the risk of such accidents occurring can be effectively reduced
Lithium battery thermal runaway refers to a sharp increase in battery temperature under physical damage or short-circuit conditions, leading to the decomposition of the electrolyte and the generation of flammable gases. If this affects adjacent battery modules, it can trigger a chain reaction, ultimately resulting in fire or explosion
Thermal runaway is one of the most critical safety issues in lithium battery systems. As energy storage systems continue to expand in scale, California has introduced relevant fire safety regulations, requiring operators to mitigate the risks of fire and thermal runaway propagation through testing verification, thermal management design, and risk control mechanisms
