SKF to show new cooling technologies for efficiency and reliability

SKF will showcase new technologies designed to enhance energy efficiency and reliability in cooling systems at the Chillventa 2026 trade fair. The company is presenting its new MBx magnetic bearing series and ceramic precision technologies.

These technologies target high-speed chillers used in data centers, heat pumps, and other demanding HVAC applications. The objective is to reduce energy consumption and extend the operational lifespan of equipment under challenging conditions.

According to SKF, the implementation of these new magnetic bearings and ceramic components can significantly decrease friction and, consequently, energy usage compared to conventional solutions. This is particularly relevant for applications like data centers, where cooling accounts for a substantial portion of overall energy expenditure.

The solutions to be displayed at the exhibition reflect SKF's commitment to developing more sustainable and effective industrial products, aiming to meet the growing global demand for energy-efficient cooling solutions.
