Some new stuff to look at

[Crash893]

Hey i got some magizne called Electronics cooling ( dont know how but hey ill take it)

anyway they have some intresting stuff in here

im going to list some links

use or dont some of them are pretty neat
( lots of heat pipes and 2 new heatsink technologies)


heat pipe stuff
http://www.thermacore.com/therma_sink.htm

heat pipe LOOP
http://www.thermacore.com/thermaloop.htm

something about pulse driven heat pipes
http://www.thermacore.com/puls_hp.htm

super big server heat sink/heat pipe
http://www.thermacore.com/therma_tower.htm

heat sink with a water filled block at the bottom
weird
http://www.thermacore.com/thermabase.htm

solid state water chiller
http://www.melcor.com/chilling.htm

here are some programs to design your own TEC
i havent tested any ( 56k)

Lastly but not leastly
some heat sink made out of graphite suposed to be as good as cooper but alot lighter so you can make it bigger or soemthing like that

if i find anything else cool ill post it here
hope this is usefull if not mods can kill it

I just wrote them to find out where I can get a Therma-Base™ Heat Sink......I gotta test it at the very least


Interesting find Crash

 

[Bender]

The Therma-Base™ Heat Sink looks very interesting. I never thought of a liquid base to spread out the heat load.

 

[Aesik]

It's not a liquid base, it's actually a heat pipe (albeit a squished heat pipe). Rather than using the pipe to move the heat much of a distance, it just spreads it across the base to get more even heating of the heat sink.

 

[Crash893]

thanks

ill read threw the mag some more to see if i can find anything else of uses

 

[Tecumseh]

This is some cool stuff. The heat pipe in the base
is actually called a vapor chamber. It works exactly
like a heat pipe. The liquid is almost always water.
The VC is used to reduce spreading resistance.

2yrs ago Therma Core quoted me $12 to 13ea
BUT 50k units is the minimum run

$450 for a 3x4in. engn sample
BUT you can't cut it down in size, eh

be cool

 

[Dissolved]

nice find crash

 

[Christoph]

Does the catalog have any prices?

Hehe. "More power in smaller packages."

 

[Crash893]

no not that i saw

im sure you could call them up and ask

they might swing us a demo unit for testing
it would be good buissness

 

[mx-6*]

Yeah but they probably want 400 bucks each.

 

[Voodoo Rufus]

Normally those industrial cooling pieces cost a lot. I asked a company once how much they sold an 8-pass full copper 120mm radiator for, and they told me $300 I think. I'm quite happy with my Blackice for $90. All of those look neat though. I'd like to see how they'd perform in a computer environment.

 

[Starfoxer]

perdy cool find ya got there

is it a magazine? or a catalogue? where did ya find it?

Probably not any better than what we have already, if they did someone would have one by now.

I'm pretty happy with my 2 Ford heater cores for 40 bucks total.

 

[Voodoo Rufus]

The ones I was looking at were rated for about 1.5KW of heat and were for cooling medical machines. Overkill and very high-precision.

 

[woodenman80]

I Also emailed Thermacore

I emailed Therma core a month odd back to ask them about the liquid to air heat exchangers, but the same sort of reply

We cannot find it to be viable and would need the purchase of 20 units minimum to ship to the UK which would have set me back about 300-400 pounds lol

 

[mx-6*]

Yeah, they're crackheads.

 

[Starfoxer]

mx6 is all over the place

did you sign up back in june and lost the website and just
now found it or sumthin? like 0.4 posts a day? well that's
cool ehhe

 

[mx-6*]

No, I just didn't spend much time here because I was pretty busy and forgot about the place. I actually signed up a couple years ago but forgot my username because I always used a different one wherever I went. Now I just use mx-6*.

 

[CrystalMethod]

I talk to my brother and see if he can score one for testing or a simmilar unit. I really don't think they'll let him, take one out of the building, let alone lend it to someone else. But it won't hurt to ask. He works for a division of Tyco (not the toy company), repairing hospital equipment, mainly ventilators. He might be able to get accses to one. I'm heading over to his place later on today so Ill ask him if they use those types of heatsinks in anything they repair.
