Meet tough thermal demands for the rapidly growing number of remote radio units (RRUs) by calling on Thermacore expertise in two-phase heat pipe development. We design solutions that put the inherent advantages of heat pipe concepts to work for you.
Heat dissipation via natural convection, the product of Thermacore two-phase heat transfer technology, is being used as the basis for more and more reliable thermal solutions for protecting crucial electronics components from harsh climatic conditions.
Radio base station units often operate in severe weather — and RRUs are frequently positioned on masts, towers, skyscraper roofs and other structures that combine difficult maintenance with punishing thermal conditions. Thermacore two-phase solutions meet these challenges with optimised design, light weight, rugged construction and the ability to operate in horizontal or vertical orientation. Thermacore designs are straightforward, robust and matched to the conditions they will encounter, thanks to our expertise in selecting thermal envelopes and working fluids. Our designs stand up to:
- Shock and vibration
- Harsh weather conditions
- Typical ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +55°C
- Occasional temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C (with the unit able to survive temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C)
There's more. Thermacore is ready for future challenges of increasing power and bandwidth, thanks to R&D and advanced technologies, including lightweight magnesium heat pipes and Advanced Solid Conduction concepts. Result: high-volume, repeatable-performance two-phase systems that keep radio base station electronics operating smoothly.
