Heat spreader cold plates give you high-efficiency heat transfer without moving parts in space and weight-constrained applications through compact Thermacore technology. Heat spreader cold plates transfer heat from sources such as electronic components, rejecting it to ambient air (through forced or natural convection) or liquid coolants (water, glycol/water mixtures, dielectric fluids, polyalphaolefin or PAO). These types of cold plates are well suited for operating in harsh environments, including extreme temperatures/humidity, shock and vibration. Thermacore offers a variety of heat spreading technologies that provide significant improvement in solution-effective thermal conductivities. These heat spreading technologies include: advanced solid conduction (k-Core®), embedded heat pipe cold plates and vapor chamber assemblies. A typical spreader cold plate application: high altitude aerospace.
