Rugged Two-Phase Cooling for Defense Electronics

Thermal solutions engineered for shock, vibration, and long-life reliability in mission environments.

Have questions? Solving difficult thermal challenges is what we do.

Defense Thermal Challenges

  • Rising power density in ruggedized electronics
  • MIL-STD shock, vibration, and thermal cycling
  • Compact conduction-cooled enclosures
  • Orientation and duty-cycle variability
  • Long service life with zero maintenance

Why Two-Phase for Defense

  • Passive, no moving parts
  • High heat-flux transport in compact spaces
  • More uniform temperature distribution
  • Reduced hotspot risk
  • Proven durability under harsh conditions

Celsia Defense Capabilities

  • Rugged heat pipes & vapor chambers
  • Aerospace/defense-grade hermetic sealing
  • Non-hazmat working fluids
  • Custom shaping (bends, flattening, saddles, collars)
  • Repeatable manufacturing from prototype to production
  • ITAR Registered
  • MIL-STD-810H validation

Typical Defense Applications

  • Radar electronics
  • EO/IR sensor assemblies
  • Rugged computing systems
  • Power conversion & RF electronics
  • Ground, airborne, and shipboard platforms

Design & Qualification Considerations

  • Material control and documentation
  • Environmental durability considerations
  • Repeatability and inspection processes
  • Lead-time expectations
  • Early design support to reduce risk
