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...
Liquid Cooled Heat Sinks Improve Critical Component Longevity

Liquid Cooled Heat Sinks Improve Critical Component Longevity

Efficient thermal management in power electronic applications is crucial, particularly as power density in these products continue to increase. Failure to keep critical components at their optimal operating temperature will negatively impact reliability and service...
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...
