MHS, a specialized company in AI semiconductor cooling solutions, announced on the 25th that it has been finally selected for the government-sponsored 'Scale-up TIPS' research and development (R&D) project organized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
This selection recognizes MHS for its self-developed water-cooled cooling system (MACS) technology and its growth potential; MACS is gaining attention as a core technology that can manage heat in the high-heat AI semiconductor market in the future.
In particular, MACS can reduce energy consumption by up to 88% compared to existing air-cooled methods and is an eco-friendly system that requires no water for cooling. With an integrated modular structure that can be directly attached to PCIe slots, it can be installed without changing server configurations, making it competitive in terms of maintenance and installation costs.
MHS plans to accelerate the commercialization of MACS technology through this R&D project. Development will proceed in a total of four stages, including performance certification, reliability verification, mold production, and establishment of a mass production system in collaboration with accredited testing institutions. This project, which has a total budget of 1.2 billion won based on three years of government R&D funding and private investment, was finally selected on the recommendation of its operating company, WeVentures, and plans to simultaneously pursue technology verification and commercialization.
Im Jong-soo, CEO of MHS, noted, "The heat problem of AI semiconductors and data centers is a global issue, and MACS is a solution that can resolve this in the most efficient and sustainable manner," and added, "We will use this project as an opportunity to enter not only the domestic market but also the global market."
Meanwhile, MHS is a specialized company that provides cooling solutions tailored for high-heat environments, including AI semiconductors, electric vehicles, medical devices, and home appliances. Based on its proprietary design using CAE and a unique array of patents, it supplies heat management technology to various industrial sectors.
