What AVC makes for data centers
public · HQ Kaohsiung, Taiwan · avc.co/en-us
Asia Vital Components (AVC) makes thermal hardware for servers: cooling fans, heatsinks and vapor chambers for air-cooled systems, plus direct-to-chip cold plates, rack manifolds, and liquid-cooling chassis for AI data centers, with liquid-cooling capacity expanding to meet AI demand.

Where AVC sits in the stack
AVC's placements in this catalog cover 4 parts, from layer 4 (servers, racks & integration) to layer 5 (liquid cooling (it-side: chip to cdu)). None of them currently carries a sourced supply constraint tag. Across these parts it overlaps with other companies most often on the lines below.
What these parts are
- Fans — The axial and centrifugal fans mounted in server chassis and rack trays that move air across heatsinks and boards, still needed even in racks that use liquid cooling for the highest-power chips.
- Air-cooled heatsinks & vapor chambers — The finned aluminum or copper heatsinks and vapor chambers that spread and dissipate heat from chips that rely on airflow (4.13) rather than a liquid cold plate.
- Direct-to-chip cold plates — A metal plate with internal microchannels, bonded or clamped directly onto a GPU, CPU, or switch package, that carries coolant across the die to remove heat by conduction rather than airflow.
- Rack manifolds — The manifold (sometimes called a CDM) that distributes coolant from the CDU supply line to each cold plate in a rack and collects the return flow, usually mounted vertically at the rear or side of the rack.

Questions about AVC
- What does AVC make for AI data centers?
- This catalog places AVC on 4 parts: Fans (manufacturer), Air-cooled heatsinks & vapor chambers (manufacturer), Direct-to-chip cold plates (manufacturer) and Rack manifolds (manufacturer).
- Is AVC publicly traded?
- Yes — AVC is listed on Taiwan Stock Exchange under 3017.TW. Prices shown on this page are a nightly snapshot, not real-time, and nothing here is investment advice.
- Where is AVC based?
- Kaohsiung, Taiwan, per the company record in this catalog.
- Who else makes fans for AI data centers?
- Delta Electronics, Foxconn (Hon Hai), Nidec, Sanyo Denki, Sunon and Cooler Master are also placed on Fans in this catalog.
- How well sourced are these placements?
- Every part→company placement carries a confidence tag. For AVC the mix is 4 inferred. "disclosed" means the company or a filing says so; "reported" comes from trade press or a reference-design list; "inferred" is a lead from the taxonomy with no citation yet. Treat reported and inferred as leads, not facts.
