Thermal Form and Function

 



The TF&F approach substitutes existing PC air-cooled heat sinks with one Field Replaceable Cooling Unit (FRCU). When packaging allows, one FRCU loop provides cooling for all or some of the following: CPU, Graphic Cards, Voltage Regulators (VRM), and High Performance memory.

Due to two-phase boiling (latent heat absorbed), our refrigerant-based PLMC cooling system (unlike water-cooled loops), provides close to isothermal cooling for all serially connected cold plates (heat receptacles).  Adding a low profile FRCU loop noticeably reduces the cooling system’s form factor (heat sinks, local fans, etc.). That, in turn, correspondingly drops air flow impedance, which allows to slow down the system’s fans, which also reduces cooling system’s power consumption and noise.
