COST & RELIABILITY<\/h3>\n

\"Reliabilty<\/h1>\n

Challenge:<\/strong> A complex PCB with heat sinks could not be cooled to its target temperature after engineers tried a number of options
\nSolution:<\/strong> Remove heat sinks, and use turbulators and 8 high efficiency heat sinks to reach target thermal goal. An additional benefit was to reduce the cost as well.\u00a0 Learn More<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PCIe<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChallenge:<\/strong> Custom cooling solution needed for PCIe card with 55W device power dissipation requirement
\nSolution:<\/strong> Low-profile, unducted fansink with optimized fin geometry to use system airflow<\/p>\n

AUTOMOTIVE IoT<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChallenge:<\/strong> Rugged enclosure cooling solution needed with required power of several 8W devices to be used in the ARROW SAM car
\nSolution:<\/strong> Heat sink and enclosure solution optimized for natural convection cooling in a harsh, sealed environment<\/p>\n

TELECOM<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChallenge:<\/strong> Solution needed for cooling four ASICs in line with power exceeding 120W for a ducted application
\nSolution:<\/strong> Compact zipper fin, copper and aluminum heat sink, eliminating the need for a heat pipe and a large heat sink<\/p>\n

LED<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChallenge:<\/strong> Aesthetically pleasing, cost-effective cooling solution needed for canopy lighting fixture with LED case temperature below 85\u2103 for increased lumen output of 12,000
\nSolution:<\/strong> One-piece, cast aluminum shroud and heat sink with optimized vents and power supply placement with an upgrade in LED power input of 110W<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

DATACOM<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChallenge:<\/strong> Develop a compact air-cooled solution for more than 110W CPUs and other high-power devices
\nSolution:<\/strong> Very compact, lightweight, air-cooled solution available with and without vapor chamber, with unmatched thermal resistance of 0.13\u2103\/W<\/p>\n

Challenge:<\/strong> CPU and MOSFET cooling solution needed to meet strict cost and thermal requirements\"\"<\/a>
\nSolution:<\/strong> Low-profile, active heat sink solution met target price and thermal performance<\/p>\n

ENERGY<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChallenge:<\/strong> Air cooling solution needed for an oil drilling application with 128W of dissipation and two 48W ASICs operating in a harsh environment
\nSolution:<\/strong> Novel PCB-level heat sink designed that is used as a shield for the board and a cooling solution using the superGRIP attachment to hold the heat sink on the PCB<\/p>\n

SECURITY SURVEILLANCE<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChallenge:<\/strong> Cooling solution needed for defense camera application with required internal termperature of 49\u2103 in a desert environment with full solar load
\nSolution:<\/strong> Heat sink, fan, and TEC integrated into the enclosure enabling the system to operate successfully in a 58\u2103 environment<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
