Temperature-dependent flow regulation using Shape Memory Alloys enables cooling capacity to adapt automatically to the thermal load of individual components — without active control electronics. The goal is to improve flow distribution, energy efficiency and system reliability while simplifying the thermal management of densely integrated server systems.   ![white\_icon\_transparent\_background](https://www.corecooling.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo/white_icon_transparent_background.png?width=100&height=72&name=white_icon_transparent_background.png) ## ERIKA | Title | Energy efficiency in data centers through innovative cooling technologies and optimized waste heat utilization (ERIKA) | | --- | --- | | Topic | High-temperature direct liquid cooling for data centers, waste heat recovery, heat network integration and optimized heat utilization | | Funding program | 8th Energy Research Programme of the German Federal Government (BMWE) ![corecooling-logo-bmwe](https://www.corecooling.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Pictures/corecooling-logo-bmwe.png?width=194&height=200&name=corecooling-logo-bmwe.png) | | Project duration | 01/2026-12/2028 | | Partner | Fraunhofer IEE, Fraunhofer IZM, IKEM e.V., Stadtwerke Norderstedt, SCHÄFER Ausstattungssysteme GmbH, Thomas-Krenn.AG, XCCES GmbH, GEF Ingenieur AG, YADOS GmbH |   ### HIGH-TEMPERATURE COOLING FOR HEAT REUSE ERIKA focuses on high-temperature liquid cooling for data centers. The project aims to increase coolant outlet temperatures while maintaining reliable component cooling, creating better conditions for efficient waste-heat recovery. Higher usable heat levels can support integration into district heating, building heating and industrial applications while reducing the energy required for conventional cooling infrastructure.   ![white\_icon\_transparent\_background](https://www.corecooling.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo/white_icon_transparent_background.png?width=100&height=72&name=white_icon_transparent_background.png) ## SEVEFORM Feasibility study | Title | Development and initial validation of a passive, self-regulating flow control system for server liquid cooling (SEVEFORM) | | --- | --- | | Topic | Passive flow control for liquid-cooled servers, shape-memory alloys, self-regulating valves and high-temperature cooling | | Funding program | ZIM – Feasibility Study (Programme of the German Federal Government BMWE)![corecooling-logo-bmwe-zim](https://www.corecooling.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Pictures/corecooling-logo-bmwe-zim.png?width=336&height=200&name=corecooling-logo-bmwe-zim.png) | | Project duration | 01/01/2025 – 08/31/2025 | | Partner | XCCES GmbH |   ### FROM CONCEPT TO SELF-REGULATING COOLING The SEVEFORM feasibility study investigated the technical potential of passive, temperature-dependent flow regulation for liquid-cooled server systems. The work provided the foundation for the development of self-regulating cooling concepts using thermally activated flow-control elements. The results formed the basis for the subsequent development of the SEVEFORM technology. ![white\_icon\_transparent\_background](https://www.corecooling.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo/white_icon_transparent_background.png?width=100&height=72&name=white_icon_transparent_background.png) ## Green ICT / COCO | Title | Hot-water cooling of IT components for waste heat utilization in data centers (COCO – CoreCooling) | | --- | --- | | Topic | Solder-based high-temperature liquid cooling for servers, energy-efficient data centers and waste heat utilization | | Funding program | Green ICT Space – Green ICT @ FMD         ![corecooling-logo-greenict](https://www.corecooling.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Pictures/corecooling-logo-greenict.png?width=174&height=35&name=corecooling-logo-greenict.png) ![corecooling-logo-fmd](https://www.corecooling.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Pictures/corecooling-logo-fmd.png?width=222&height=98&name=corecooling-logo-fmd.png)           ![corecooling-logo-fraunhoferizm](https://www.corecooling.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Pictures/corecooling-logo-fraunhoferizm.jpg?width=176&height=48&name=corecooling-logo-fraunhoferizm.jpg) | | Project duration | 01/02/2024 – 01/02/2025 | | Partner | Fraunhofer IZM, XCCES GmbH |   ### HOT-WATER COOLING FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT IT The GREEN ICT / COCO project investigated high-temperature cooling concepts for IT components with a focus on efficient thermal interfaces and reduced thermal resistance. The objective was to transfer component heat into the liquid cooling circuit at the highest practical temperature level. This approach improves cooling efficiency and increases the potential for subsequent waste-heat utilization in energy-efficient IT and data center environments.   ![CoreCooling](https://www.corecooling.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo/white_logo_transparent_background.png?width=2000&height=1200&name=white_logo_transparent_background.png "CoreCooling") ### Connect with us - [![Linkedin](https://www.corecooling.de/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/1406_Consulting/1406_Clarity_Lite_Free/images/Linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/98904325/)   CoreCooling Ericsson-Allee 1 | 52134 Herzogenrath | GERMANY [info@corecooling.de](mailto:info@corecooling.de)   CoreCooling is a registered trademark of XCCES GmbH **[Legal Notice](https://www.corecooling.de/legal-notice?hsLang=en)** [**Privacy Policy**](https://www.corecooling.de/privacy-policy?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2026 XCCES GmbH.
