3M discontinued PFAS causing chain reaction, Huayi Brothers liquid cooling technology to fill the global gap
2025-03-25
Global chemical giant 3M announced a major strategic adjustment on December 20, 2022, with a plan to completely withdraw from the production of perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by the end of 2025, and to gradually stop the operation of related product lines. This decision triggered a chain reaction in the specialty chemicals market, bringing historic development opportunities for innovative domestic enterprises.
Driven by the wave of digital economy, the demand for AI arithmetic power has shown explosive growth. According to Saidi Consultant's “China Liquid Cooled Data Center Development White Paper”, the demand for fluorinated coolant in China's data centers will reach 25,000 tons in 2025, forming a market of 3.7 billion yuan. In the face of the technical challenges of single cabinet power density exceeding 30kW, the traditional air-cooled program has shown fatigue, submerged liquid cooling technology has become the industry's new favorite by virtue of its revolutionary cooling efficiency.
Domestic enterprises show a differentiated competition pattern: chemical leader Juhua focuses on single-phase coolant research and development, while Huayi Brothers is plowing into the field of dual-phase coolant with a forward-looking layout. Its innovative dual-phase submerged liquid cooling system, through the construction of the “evaporation - condensation” dynamic thermal cycle system, to achieve an exponential increase in thermal management efficiency. The system adopts dielectric fluid as the heat transfer medium, when the electronic components heat up, the coolant quickly vaporizes and carries the heat to the condensing device, and then liquefies and reflows after the phase change release, forming a continuous and efficient heat exchange cycle. Measured data show that the heat transfer coefficient of this solution is 3-5 times higher than that of traditional solutions, which is perfectly suited for 5G base stations, smart computing centers and other high heat flow density scenarios.
In the commercialization process, Huayi Brothers has shown significant competitive advantages. According to industry data, the fluorinated coolant offer of international brand 3M is maintained at 600,000-700,000 RMB/ton, while Huayi achieves core technology breakthrough through independent innovation, controlling the product price at 300,000-400,000 RMB/ton, with a cost advantage of more than 50%. This double advantage of “technology + cost” is restructuring the global market pattern of liquid cooling solutions.
With the accelerated advancement of the Eastern Digital and Western Computing Project and the surge in the demand for AI large-model computing power, Huayi Brothers, relying on its dual-phase cooling technology with independent intellectual property rights, not only fills the gaps in the domestic high-end coolant market, but also reaches the international leading level in terms of energy-saving and emission reduction indexes. Its innovative solutions have been applied on a large scale in many supercomputing centers in China, marking China's shift from technology-following to innovation-leading in the field of data center thermal management.
