Conduction Cooling
Spread high density heat loads with graphite heat spreaders, encapsulated graphite chassis and enclosures, and thermal interface material.
Reliable and Passive Conduction Cooling Solutions
Passive conduction cooling is an essential tool for reliable heat transfer and one of Boyd’s areas of expertise for over 50 years. Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are essential for improving air- or liquid- cooled solutions, high conductivity materials like encapsulated graphite heat spreaders help manage high heat densities, and thermally conductive chassis and enclosures, flexible thermal straps, and rugged thermal busses provide reliable heat transport solutions.
How Does Conduction Cooling Work?
Conduction cooling solutions rely on direct contact with materials with high thermal conductivity to effectively transfer heat. Conduction solutions can be simple like thermal interface materials, often a film or silicone pad embedded with high conductivity filler, or they can be more complex solutions like a lightweight aluminum chassis with an encapsulated graphite core.
