Why Nirvana Wins

AI data centers are constrained by power availability, interconnection delays, cooling complexity, and rising operating costs. Nirvana’s TAPS platform is designed as a distributed, behind-the-meter solution that can turn heat into useful power or cooling with minimal moving parts.

Lowest TCO

Designed for lower capital cost per kW, reduced maintenance, and long operating life.

High Efficiency

Converts heat into acoustic power and then into electricity or cooling.

Reliable Uptime

Solid-state architecture built for continuous, mission-critical operation.

How TAPS Works

Heat Becomes Acoustic Power

TAPS uses thermoacoustic Stirling technology to convert thermal energy into high-amplitude acoustic waves. Those pressure waves can drive a linear alternator for electricity or support refrigerant-free cooling and thermal management.
