Garrett Motion Inc., a global leader in differentiated turbocharging and electrification technologies, and TONFY, a specialized Chinese provider of industrial temperature control and thermal management, have collaborated project to advance next-generation, high-efficiency liquid cooling solutions for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and broader high-density infrastructure applications.
The collaboration combines TONFY’s expertise in energy storage liquid cooling system integration with Garrett’s breakthrough oil-free centrifugal compressor technology, which has demonstrated strong performance in testing: approximately double the cooling capacity within a comparable footprint, >10% efficiency improvement and noise levels below 75 dB(A). Garrett’s oil-free high-speed centrifugal compressor technology is expected to be integrated into TONFY’s 80 kW liquid cooling units for outdoor containerized energy storage systems and other high-reliability applications in both China and overseas markets, with plans for mass production in 2027. The two companies will also explore the technology’s potential in other high-density, energy-efficient cooling applications.
With the growth of BESS, liquid cooling is critical for ensuring high performance and reliability. Garrett’s solutions strengthen TONFY’s liquid cooling platform for energy storage and create a foundation for future collaboration in high-efficiency infrastructure.
