VOSS Automotive Brings 95 Years of Fluid Expertise to the Next Generation of Data Center Cooling

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the data center landscape. As the power density of modern processors continues to increase, so does the demand for efficient and reliable cooling solutions. Liquid cooling is rapidly becoming a technological prerequisite for operating the next generation of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data centers.

VOSS is bringing its proven expertise in fluid management to this emerging application field. As a system partner for leak-free fluid line and connection technology in demanding industrial applications, the company will support operators, integrators, and manufacturers of data center infrastructure with solutions for Data Center Liquid Cooling.

 

Tradition meets System Expertise

Since 1931, VOSS has been developing and manufacturing line and connection solutions for applications with the highest demands on safety, reliability, and leak-tightness. Every year, approximately 180 million fluid connections are produced and deployed in safety-critical applications worldwide. Proven over decades in the automotive industry, off-highway applications, and energy storage systems, this expertise is now being applied to the critical infrastructure of modern data centers.

“We are not entering a completely new technology field,” says Patrick Semmler, Head of Business Development at VOSS Automotive. “The safe transport of fluids under demanding operating conditions has been our core competency for more than 95 years. With the growth of AI data centers, the importance of exactly this expertise is increasing.”

 

Leak-Free Performance as a Prerequisite for Availability

As liquid cooling becomes more widespread, one factor is moving into focus: leak-free operation. Cooling media are routed directly to environments where maximum computing power is concentrated in the smallest possible space. Even minor leaks can lead to downtime, service interventions, and significant follow-up costs. For data center operators, leak-tightness is therefore not merely a technical detail — it is an economic necessity. 

This is precisely the expertise VOSS brings from industries where sealing integrity, reliability, and process safety have been indispensable for decades.

“In the data center environment, there is no tolerance for leaks,” says Semmler. “Availability is the most important currency for our customers. That is why we rely on technologies that have already proven their reliability millions of times in demanding applications.“

 

Energy Efficiency: Liquid Cooling Improves PUE

In addition to leak-free performance, the efficiency of the cooling loop determines how economically liquid cooling can be operated in a data center. Data center operators are facing increasing regulatory requirements regarding the energy efficiency of their infrastructure, commonly measured by the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric.

Liquid cooling can improve PUE by removing heat directly at the processor level, thereby reducing the energy required for facility-wide air conditioning. VOSS supports this with flow-optimized tubing and connection systems that minimize pressure losses within the cooling loop, helping reduce pump power requirements as well as overall energy and water consumption.

 

From Component to System

With its UQD family (Universal Quick Disconnects), VOSS offers standardized quick-connect couplings for the safe and service-friendly connection of liquid cooling loops in data centers. The portfolio is complemented by customized tubing systems, manifold solutions, and pre-assembled modules covering the entire liquid cooling circuit.

What matters most is the system approach: a high-performance cooling architecture can only be achieved through the coordinated interaction of all components. Membership in the Open Compute Project (OCP) underlines VOSS’s commitment to actively shaping the future development of efficient and scalable data center solutions.

 

Entering a Rapidly Growing Technology Market

By entering the Data Center Liquid Cooling market, VOSS is expanding its industrial expertise into a sector whose requirements closely align with the company’s core strengths: leak-tightness, flow performance, fluid routing, ease of installation, and scalable series production quality.
These are precisely the factors becoming increasingly critical as liquid cooling is deployed on a larger scale and integrated into major data center infrastructure projects.
“Data Center Liquid Cooling is a logical next step for VOSS,” says Semmler. “We are bringing our experience in leak-free fluid management to a market where technical reliability, energy efficiency, and industrial scalability are essential from day one.“
