Heat Pipe Heat Sink Design

Different heat pipe heat sink design can have very different performance and cost implications. Here we compare 1) heat pipes embedded in either aluminum or copper, 2) heat pipes making direct contact with the heat source, and both standard and 3D vapor chambers.

Vapor Chamber vs Heat Pipe

In the battle of two-phase devices, vapor chamber vs heat pipe, there’s no clear winner. Each has attributes that make one superior to the other. This article covers differences in two-phase devices and usage rules of thumb.

Heat Sink Design Options

This article compares heat sink design options, including solid metal bases, embedded heat pipes, and vapor chambers. It provides engineers with insights into thermal performance, weight, and cost trade-offs to aid in selecting the optimal heat sink configuration for electronic applications.

Heat Sink Types

This article provides an overview of different heat sink types, including passive, active, two-phase, and manufacturing variations. It serves as a resource for engineers seeking to understand and select appropriate heat sink solutions for effective thermal management in electronic applications.

The Truth About Ultra-Thin Heat Pipe Vapor Chambers

In this blog, we’ll break down the design variables of a heat pipe or vapor chamber, discuss each part’s purpose, and examine the implications of making each element thinner: enclosure wall thickness, wick thickness, wick type, vapor space, and internal support structures.

Types of Heat Pipes

This article explores the design and best uses of different types of heat pipes used for electronics cooling.
