Heat Pipes
Heat pipes are superconductors with extraordinary heat transfer capacity. The rapid growth of the electronics and the personal computer industry has introduced challenging heat dissipation problems.
  • Faster processor speeds
  • Higher power densities
  • Shrinking geometries
Heat pipes provide the necessary performance boost for conventional heat sinks. Cofan-USA's extensive use of advanced heat pipe technology ensures maximum performance of our cooling solutions.

Heat pipes effectively transport heat with a minimal drop in temperature.

Heat is absorbed from the source through vaporization and released at a sink through condensation.

The vapor travels from source to sink through the central channel, while the liquid travels from sink to source through the porous wick.

Main components:
  • Container
    - High strength, high thermal conductivity
  • Working fluid
    - High latent heat, high thermal conductivity
  • Wick/capillary structure
    - State-of-the-art copper powder sintering for maximum performance
    - Maintains effective capillary action when bent or used against gravity
