Authored by: Nelson J. Gernert, Vice President of Engineering and Technology, Thermacore Inc., Lancaster, Pa. Key points: Heat-pipe technology rejects multiple kilowatts of heat directly to ambient ...

Over the past decade, the use of heat pipes in electronic cooling applications has increased dramatically, primarily in notebook computers. In fact, virtually every notebook computer manufactured ...

The heat generated from large power semiconductors such as IGBTs, diodes, or thyristors can be as high as several kilowatts. While conventional extruded heat sinks have been one of the most widely ...

A European team demonstrated a 3D printed, spacecraft-grade pipe segment with an embedded heater and temperature sensor to streamline thermal loop integration.

The impressive capabilities of twenty-first century medical technology, from imaging equipment to surgical instruments and automated immunoassays, are in many ways a tribute to the advances in ...

Although most of the technology details for the Curiosity Rover are proprietary, we can guess that various heat-pipes of sorts may be on the Rover on Mars because of the efficiency and effectiveness ...
