Active Cooling vs Passive Cooling

Heat Pipe Heat Sink Design

Different heat pipe heat sink design can have very different performance and cost implications. Here we compare 1) heat pipes embedded in either aluminum or copper, 2) heat pipes making direct contact with the heat source, and both standard and 3D vapor chambers.

Vapor Chamber vs Heat Pipe

In the battle of two-phase devices, vapor chamber vs heat pipe, there’s no clear winner. Each has attributes that make one superior to the other. This article covers differences in two-phase devices and usage rules of thumb.

The Truth About Ultra-Thin Heat Pipe Vapor Chambers

In this blog, we’ll break down the design variables of a heat pipe or vapor chamber, discuss each part’s purpose, and examine the implications of making each element thinner: enclosure wall thickness, wick thickness, wick type, vapor space, and internal support structures.
