Our goals

Three barriers. One mission.

Break the thermal density barrier
Goal 01

Break the thermal density barrier

Double the thermal density of plate exchangers: hotter, denser silicon in the same room.

2×Thermal density vs. plate HEX
Maximize energy efficiency
Goal 02

Maximize energy efficiency

The same heat with 30% less pumping power. Watts returned to compute.

−30%Pumping power
Unlock more compute per footprint
Goal 03

Unlock more compute per footprint

46% less installed volume. More compute per square meter.

−46%Installed volume
The science

2× the heat. Half the volume.

An AI-designed, 3D-printed swirl geometry. More heat through less hardware.

How it works

Designed by AI. Printed in 3D. Proven in the lab.

01

AI-designed geometry

Generative optimization searches millions of lattice geometries.

02

3D-printed lattice

Swirl structures impossible to stamp or braze. Only printable.

03

Experimentally validated

Benchmarked on instrumented rigs against plate HEX at matched duty.
