NEOcore Applications: From Renewable Energy to 5G Infrastructure

Written by Aki Määttä | Sep 9, 2025 7:10:00 AM

This is the third part of our blog series on NEOcore technology. We'll show you where NEOcore delivers the biggest impact, with measured results across power electronics applications.


Why Thermal Management Matters

Power electronics design faces unprecedented thermal challenges. Localized heat fluxes now exceed 100 W/cm², and overheating causes 55% of all electronics failures. Every 10°C increase in operating temperature cuts component lifespan in half. In modern power electronics, thermal management determines system reliability and performance.

Traditional aluminum heat sinks can't keep pace. Heat pipes add complexity and thermal interfaces. Liquid cooling adds maintenance burden and failure risk. The industry needs air cooling that performs like liquid cooling, without the complexity.

NEOcore Technology

NEOcore integrates evaporator, thermal channel, and condenser into a single aluminum structure, delivering up to 1,000× higher effective thermal conductivity than conventional aluminum heat sinks. This phase-change cooling solution provides liquid-like performance without pumps, plumbing, or maintenance requirements.

Manufactured entirely from aluminum, NEOcore is cost-efficient and environmentally responsible, reducing material usage and weight while supporting energy-efficient European manufacturing.

Applications

Renewable Energy
Solar string inverters, central inverters, and hybrid PV-storage systems rely on NEOcore for higher conversion efficiency and extended system lifetime. Whether in desert solar arrays or offshore wind installations, NEOcore ensures reliable operation under harsh environmental conditions without maintenance access.

EV Charging Infrastructure
Ultra-fast chargers operating at 350 kW and beyond require compact, reliable cooling that operates 24/7 across diverse climates. NEOcore's lightweight, maintenance-free design reduces installation footprint and service costs—critical for scaling charging networks.

5G Telecommunications
Base stations consume over 1 kW per RF unit, generating dense thermal loads in urban rooftops and remote sites. NEOcore's compact air-cooling delivers efficient heat dissipation in space-limited deployments, supporting network reliability.

Industrial Applications
Variable frequency drives, AC drives, and power converters benefit from reduced cabinet size, increased durability, and support for power ranges from kilowatts to megawatts. NEOcore excels in harsh industrial environments where uptime is critical.

High-Performance LED Lighting
Stadium floodlights and architectural lighting require precise thermal control. NEOcore maintains optimal junction temperatures, maximizing luminous efficiency and ensuring long-term reliability while enabling compact designs.

Specialized Electronics
Medical equipment, military systems, industrial lasers, and advanced transportation demand the highest reliability. NEOcore's precise thermal control and proven stability ensure performance where failure isn't acceptable.

Engineering Benefits

Integrating NEOcore into power electronics design delivers measurable advantages: improved power density in existing products, simplified thermal design processes, and faster time-to-market. Engineers gain cost-effective power scaling without liquid cooling complexity, enhanced system reliability, and reduced maintenance requirements. The result: more compact, lightweight, and efficient designs.

Advancing Power Electronics Cooling

As demand for electrification and renewable energy accelerates, NEOcore stands as a cornerstone of modern power electronics thermal management. Exceptional thermal performance, lightweight aluminum construction, and broad application range make it the most advanced and cost-efficient air-cooling solution available today.

NEOcore enables engineers to push power density higher, improve reliability, and reduce lifecycle costs—driving the next generation of sustainable, high-performance electronic systems.
