ECM Releases Case Study on Benefits of PCB Stator Electric Motor Design for Data Centers Ahead of AHR Expo 2025
Adoption of PrintStator CAD and premium performance printed circuit board stator machines can reduce data center energy consumption and costs.
NEEDHAM, Mass., February 4, 2025 (Newswire.com)
–
US electric motor design software firm ECM PCB Stator Tech shared a new report on the advantages of PCB Stator electric motor design for global data centers.
The case study, “Optimizing Data Center Efficiency with ECM PCB Stator Motors,” comes in advance of ECM’s exhibit and speaking role at AHR Expo, 2025 — one of the world’s largest HVAC events, set for Feb. 10 -12 in Orlando, Florida.
Challenges in Data Center Efficiency
In the case study, ECM highlights the surge in global energy consumption from increased data center demand. “Data centers consumed 130 TWh of electricity in 2022, accounting for 2.5% of total U.S. energy usage. This figure is projected to triple by 2030.”
ECM’s report then underscores the centrality of HVAC and electric motors to these facilities.
“Cooling systems account for 37% of the energy they use. As data centers strive to improve efficiency, lower costs, and align with sustainability goals, the motor systems within their cooling mechanisms play a crucial role.”
According to ECM, additional challenges in achieving data center efficiency include the following:
-
Material and Resource Constraints
-
Design and Operational Inefficiencies
-
Speed, Vibration, and EMI Management; and
-
Shipping and Maintenance Costs
Advantages of PCB Stator Motor Design
ECM’s case study then outlines the solutions its model brings to overcoming data center efficiency and cost challenges.
As a company, ECM pairs printed-circuit-board (PCB Stator) technology to advanced Motor CAD. The combination enables innovators to optimize electric motors that are lighter, smaller, quieter, and more energy efficient.
Those wishing to leverage ECM’s innovation can do so via three core product offerings:
As detailed in, “Optimizing Data Center Efficiency with ECM PCB Stator Motors,” ECM’s technology offering provides the following solutions:
Premium Efficiency — PrintStator designed, PCB Stator motors achieve efficiencies up to 94%.
Full Customization — ECM’s PrintStator Motor CAD enables data center operators to design motors to precise performance and dimensional specs.
Lightweight and Compact Design — By replacing the bulky copper-wound stator in conventional electric motors with an ultra-thin disk, PCB Stator motors reduce weight by up to 70%.
Continuous Operation — ECM motors are designed for robust, continuous operation, ensuring high reliability and minimizing downtime risks in mission-critical environments, such as data centers.
Efficient Heat Dissipation — ECM’s patented thermal management solutions effectively dissipate heat without additional cooling systems, improving reliability and energy efficiency.
Sustainability — ECM’s PrintStator designed motors use up to 80% less copper than conventional options and are more durable (with lower maintenance and longer life cycles).
ECM’s case study goes on to offer a cost benefit table comparing its solutions to other options.
ECM will display its electric motor design solutions for HVAC and data centers and offer live demos of its PrintStator Motor CAD platform at AHR Expo 2025 at exhibit 6391. The company’s CFO, Mike Smith, will also speak on the benefits of PCB Stator electric motor design at AHR’s New Product Theater on Tues., Feb. 11 at 2:15pm est.
