Two Phase Thermal Solution Guide:A Quick & Easy Reference to Two Phase Cooling Technologies

2023-05-23
●Overview
■Over several decades, Boyd has been a leading innovator of two phase cooling with superior solutions for everything from consumer electronics to space applications. Boyd leveraged this experience and expertise to develop this Reference Guide to help you understand two phase technologies and find the right solution for your applications. This article covers the most popular two phase thermal solutions, integrations, and customizations as well as what to consider when selecting the best technology for your application. Utilizing heat pipes, vapor chambers, or thermosiphons can be the best way to optimize cooling with higher performance in more compact geometries for best total value.
●INTRODUCTION
■As electronic designs demand more power, functionality, speed, and reliability, heat remains one of the major barriers to maximize performance and realize major innovations. Every industry, especially Mobile, Medical, Telecommunications, and IoT, is developing new applications that are lightweight, multi-functional, and high power with increasing reliability standards. Engineers struggle to effectively handle excess heat as consumers demand smaller, thinner, more powerful devices with more options and capabilities.
■Two phase cooling is rapidly gaining popularity to solve these issues.These technologies are especially ideal to spread heat for faster dissipation, reduce weight, increase reliability, and extend device lifetime, but their most significant advantage is design flexibility and how easy and efficiently they integrate in a system or device to vastly improve cooling efficiency and capacity. Active air cooling or liquid cooling systems are often too large, cumbersome, and come with inherent complications such as unwanted sound, heavy weight, and vibration. Two phase can replace active cooling components and systems, not only solving thermal challenges but also acoustic and vibration issues for enhanced reliability.
■While many engineers are most familiar with heat pipes, two phase cooling in a linear and very flexible form factor, there are several major two phase technology types that manage more heat and feature unique benefits and features. Vapor chambers transfer heat in a planar geometry allowing for more uniform heat spreading. Thermosiphons do not use a wicking structure and can move more power by using gravity to return the fluid. Meanwhile, Immersion Cooling is gaining popularity in cooling high power components in markets such as data centers.
■The following guide will touch on each of these technologies as well as the benefits and considerations when utilizing them to cool your applications.
