项目摘要

Carbon Forest Products working with the University of Exeter's Centre for Additive Layer Manufacturing, want to transform the computer server heatsink market, through the development of innovative 3D Carbon heatsinks.Carbon Forest Products have demonstrated the novel capability of creating 3D printed carbon, a waste by-product of the paper industry. Through this project Carbon Forest Products will expand on this work, developing heatsinks made from renewable forestry feedstock which will be manufactured through selective laser sintering, providing a significantly lower carbon impact alternative to metal heatsinks, with additional thermal and light-weighting benefits.Microprocessor thermal efficiency has not kept pace with continued miniaturisation, creating a thermal dissipation technical challenge, affecting microprocessor design and data centre operational efficiency in terms of cooling demand and server density.Cloud operations comprising thousands of servers working together generate tremendous amounts of heat, with 40% of data centre energy typically consumed to meet server cooling demands.The global heatsinks market is estimated to reach £7.55bn by 2026, driven by demand for cloud computing, with a surge in demand due to an increase in remote working caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, further accelerating the need for energy efficient and environmentally sustainable equipment.

碳林产品公司与埃克塞特大学添加剂层制造中心合作，希望通过开发创新的3D碳散热器来改变计算机服务器散热器市场。碳林产品公司展示了创造3D打印碳的新能力，这是造纸业的一种废弃副产品。通过该项目，碳林产品公司将在这项工作上进行扩展，开发由可再生林业原料制成的散热器，这些散热器将通过选择性激光烧结来制造，提供显著降低碳影响的金属散热器替代品，并具有额外的热和轻量化好处。微处理器的热效率跟不上持续的小型化，造成散热技术挑战，在冷却需求和服务器密度方面影响微处理器设计和数据中心的运营效率。由数千台服务器共同工作的云操作产生大量热量，其中40%的数据中心能源通常用于满足服务器冷却需求。到2026年，全球散热器市场预计将达到75.5亿GB。在云计算需求的推动下，新冠肺炎疫情导致远程工作增加导致需求激增，进一步加速了对高能效和环境可持续设备的需求。
