Application: Cooling for an embedded processor.

Constraints: Very limited height restriction of 12mm.

Solution: A 2mm thick Nanospreader is incorporated with a copper mounting block and aluminum fins. This configuration maximizes the available fin area and air flow.

Test Conditions: Power - 50 Watts; Air Flow- 6 m/s

Results: The Nanospreader™ CPU cooling solution resulted with a T-case temperature of 58.5°C.  The existing 6mm, 4-heat pipe solution resulted with a T-case temperature of 67.8°C. Although both solutions use a base plate, NanoSpreader™ still posted a 14% performance gain over heat pipes.
