Thermal challenges

Where conventional cooling runs out of headroom.

When power density, packaging, and environment collide, a solid-metal sink can’t keep junctions in spec. These are the constraints our two-phase designs are built to solve.
Localized heat flux

Concentrated power at the die or source exceeds what a metal base can spread on its own.

Spreading resistance

Heat crowds at the source faster than it conducts outward, driving up junction temperatures.

Constrained geometry

Tight enclosures, awkward source-to-sink paths, and SWaP limits leave no room for a conventional sink.

Environmental exposure

Shock, vibration, altitude, and thermal cycling demand designs validated for the field, not the bench.

Solution approach

We engineer the complete thermal path.

From source to ambient, every interface is an opportunity to shed temperature. We design the whole chain — spreading, transport, and rejection — as one system rather than a single component.
01
Heat spreading

Vapor chambers and integrated spreaders pull heat off concentrated sources across a wide, isothermal base.

02
Thermal transport

Heat pipes and thermosiphons move heat across distance and orientation to where it can be rejected efficiently.

03
Heat rejection

Optimized fin stacks and heat-sink geometries dump heat into air or liquid within your airflow budget.

Thermal management products

Two-phase technology, tuned to your application.

Each device is engineered at every parameter that affects thermal performance — wick, fluid, geometry, and orientation — and 100% tested before it ships.
Customizable heat pipes

Application-tuned wall thickness, wick thickness, porosity, permeability, and fluid loading.

1-piece vapor chambers

Lower-cost devices allow Z-axis bending in dimensions up to 109mm wide and 5mm thick.

2-piece vapor chambers

Stamped into any shape along the XY axes, with options for embossments, through-holes, and variable wicks.

Specialty two-phase

Machined vapor chambers attach to multiple heat sources, while methanol heat pipes extend the range.

Phase change material

Manages substantial transient spikes to ambient temperature or device thermal load.

Thermal straps

Resolves excessive shock, vibration, or thermal expansion issues between the heat source and condenser.
