Standard heat pipes are embedded in a metal plate under the power semiconductors and extended from the plate to a remote fin stack. Heat from the electronics is absorbed by the heat pipes and transported to the fins which are cooled by natural or forced convection. | |

 | Thermacore manufactures several different Therma-Charge™ products for cooling power semiconductors typically used in motor drive assemblies. Power electronics, such as IGBTs, are mounted on both sides of the plate. Heat pipes, embedded in the plate, take the heat to an air-cooled fin section. Fans are also available. Thermacore’s Therma-Charge™ heat pipe based cooling solutions are lighter, compact, efficient, and maintenance free. With superior thermal performance like this, you have more room for your electronics. Advances in power semiconductor technology are packing more power into smaller packages, presenting increasing thermal management challenges. With our multiple mounting options, Thermacore engineers can design a heat pipe based system to dissipate your heat load requirements in any power application, from watts to kilowatts. |
