Once the exclusive domain of space applications, heat pipe cooling solutions are now economical enough to be used in telecommunications, motor drives, UPS and many other applications.
A heat pipe is an evaporator & condenser in a sealed tube the inside walls of which are lined with a wicking structure. Heating one end of the heat pipe evaporates the liquid in the wick which diffuses through the length of the hollow center of the pipe.
For very high power assemblies such as power conversion; liquid cooling using a cold plate can often be the best option for designers. It is also useful in certain medical applications where a temperature controlled cold plate ensures minimal temperature drift of other components such as power resistors.
Baknor offers two types of cold plate, vacuum brazed and tube liquid cold plates.
Tube liquid heatsinks employ continuous joint free copper tubes embedded into the aluminum body of the plate. The dimensions of the plate can be configured for optimum device cooling.
Remote heatsinking - no longer a pipe dream
