Choosing the Right Fluid for Liquid Cold Plates

Choosing the Right Fluid for Liquid Cold Plates

Liquid cold plates, sometimes called water blocks, are used for the thermal management of compact, high-power electronic applications where conventional air-cooled heat sinks are not feasible because of size or weight limitations. The plate is typically aluminum or...

Supporting the U.S. Navy Weapon Systems

KTK Thermal Technologies is proud to support new generation weapon systems for the U.S. Navy. KTK has delivered the first units of a cold plate for the Energy Magazine Prototype or EMP. The same technology will also be used on the High Energy Laser Integrated...

UNDERSTANDING HEAT PIPE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY

  Thermal conductivity is the number of watts (W) conducted per meter (m) of thickness per temperature (kelvin (k)) difference between one side and the other of the material at that thickness. It is reported as W/mk. The inverse of thermal conductivity is thermal...
Heat Pipe Fundamentals

Heat Pipe Fundamentals

Heat pipes are passive, two-phase heat transfer devices that offer highly effective thermal conductivity where more cooling is required than standard air-cooled heat sinks can provide. Because a heat pipe is a two-phase thermal transfer system, the thermal...
