The Albany Gazette - ECM’S Dan Lizowsky to Speak at MDSM ‘25 on PCB Stator Electric Motor Design for Data Center Cooling

NEEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS / ACCESS Newswire / February 19, 2025 / ECM's Dan Lisowksy will speak at the Motor, Drive Systems and Magnetics Conference in Tallahassee, Florida, February 19 at 2:30pm. Lisowsky, who is head of ECM PCB Stator Tech's Industrial OEM Products Division, will present on the benefits of PCB Stator electric motor design for data center cooling. MDSM 2025 participants are welcome to attend Dan's presentation and engage in a question-and-answer session.

ECM is an electric motor design software technology services firm. The Boston-based company recently released a new report on the advantages of PCB Stator electric motor design for global data centers, "Optimizing Data Center Efficiency with ECM PCB Stator Motors,"

Dan Lisowsky will speak to insights from that report in his MDSM 2025 session.

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.

ECM's PrintStator Motor CAD electric motor design platform.

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:

• PrintStator SaaS

• Pre-designed PCB Stator Motor Evaluation Kits; and

• ECM's advanced prototyping services

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).

At MDSM 2025, Dan Lisowsky will speak in detail on these solutions for data centers and welcome questions.
