This is the final part of our blog series on NEOcore technology. We'll show you how aluminum-based cooling reduces environmental impact across materials, manufacturing, and product lifecycle.
Sustainability as Engineering Requirement
As electrification accelerates, sustainable technology solutions have moved from optional to essential. Industries driving toward renewable energy and energy efficiency face stricter environmental targets. Thermal management plays a decisive role in meeting these goals while maintaining performance and reliability.
NEOcore technology delivers both environmental benefits and superior thermal performance across the entire product lifecycle.
Aluminum Instead of Copper
NEOcore resembles a conventional aluminum heat sink, but the integrated thermosyphon channel transforms standard aluminum into a high-efficiency cooling solution capable of replacing copper heat pipes and complex liquid cooling systems.
The material advantages are clear. Pure aluminum construction is lightweight, abundant, and infinitely recyclable without property loss, supporting circular economy principles. The working fluid contains no F-gases, ozone-depleting substances, or compounds with global warming potential. Eliminating copper and brazed heat pipes reduces raw material dependency and lowers lifecycle emissions.
Cleaner Manufacturing
NEOcore manufacturing uses mechanical assembly methods, avoiding energy-intensive or polluting processes. No soldering, brazing, or high-temperature heating. No harmful chemicals or flux agents. Minimal waste generation, particularly in ULTIMA and AURORA product platforms. The result: improved worker safety and a cleaner manufacturing environment.
Lifecycle Environmental Benefits
Enhanced thermal performance creates cascading sustainability advantages. Extended component lifespans reduce electronic waste. Improved energy efficiency lowers operating costs and carbon footprint. NEOcore heat sinks weigh up to 50% less than standard aluminum equivalents, reducing material usage and transportation emissions.
Better cooling enables smaller or slower-running fans, which reduces power consumption, extends system lifetime, decreases air filter replacements, and lowers noise emissions for healthier workplaces.
Product Platforms
ULTIMA combines exceptional cooling performance with minimal environmental footprint. The design supports recycled aluminum, enabling further CO₂ reductions without compromising reliability.
AURORA is tailored for high-volume applications. Direct extrusion of NEOcore channels into aluminum profiles achieves up to 50% better performance than traditional extruded aluminum heat sinks while maintaining cost efficiency and manufacturability at scale.
Performance and Responsibility
NEOcore proves that environmental responsibility and technical excellence aren't competing priorities. Sustainable materials, clean manufacturing processes, lightweight compact designs, and superior performance in IGBT and SiC power module cooling all work together.
As industries face stricter sustainability targets, NEOcore sets a new standard for thermal management solutions—enabling a greener, more reliable, and more cost-efficient future for power electronics cooling.
