Heat pipe electronics cooling for extreme-temperature applications in hot and cold introduced by Congatec

SAN DIEGO – Congatec Inc. in San Diego is introducing heat pipe electronics cooling that uses acetone as a working fluid for extreme-environmental conditions.

Using acetone in the heat pipes instead of water prevents the thermal transfer medium from freezing at extreme sub-zero temperatures and prevents damage to the cooling system and the electronics module. It also is insensitive to mechanical stresses such as shock and vibration.

Applications for the extreme-temperature heat pipe cooling system include autonomous and conventional vehicles like logistics vehicles in ports, airports, and cold stores, as well as in rail and aviation systems.

Computers-on-module

It also provides electronics cooling for computers-on-module in the form factors COM-HPC mini and client as well as COM-HPC Server for robust edge servers. The cooling also will be available as a heat pipe adapter and other configurations on request.

This latest development reaffirms Congatec's reputation for developing solutions that deliver efficient heat dissipation for effective cooling of intensive hot spots. The company's holistic approach to developing high-performance computers-on-module ecosystems embraces suitable cooling solutions, carrier boards and comprehensive services, significantly simplifying and accelerating application development.
