DATASHEET Copper-Water Heat Pipes COPPER-WATER HEAT PIPES Transport heat quickly, reliably, and effectively with Copper-Water Heat Pipes designed and fabricated by Aavid, Thermal Division of Boyd Corporation. Copper-Water Heat Pipes are a popular component in a wide variety of thermal management solutions across broad range of industries because of the high heat capacity of two-phase water cooling in a versatile copper package. Aavid has pioneered heat pipe development and solutions over the last 50 years, setting the world standard for commercial application of this passive, highly conductive two-phase heat transfer device. Aavid heat pipes are designed for high heat load or gravity sensitive applications where reliability and long life are critical. Copper-Water Heat Pipes are often integrated into thermal management assemblies to improve effective conductivity and efficiency, improving overall system performance. By using epoxy, solder, or a mechanical interference fit, Aavids Copper-Water Heat Pipes can be integrated into other components to fabricate heat transport or heat spreading assemblies that are more customized to your specific application. Using water as the internal working fluid, Aavid Copper-Water Heat Pipe moves heat from the heat source to where the heat can be managed more effectively through dissipation to air, liquid, or radiated to space. Ductile copper walls and sintered powder wick enable bending or flattening to meet an applications thermal and geometric requirements. This can be used to reduce overall height, increase surface contact, or route heat pipes around keep-out areas like mounting hardware. Thermal architects have more flexibility because embedded heat pipes dont require changing the geometry of the heat sink, which is especially useful in retrofit or increasing the power of existing products. Tightly controlled manufacturing processes backed by product field experience ensure our integrated heat pipe assemblies can last well over 20 years. Today, Aavid has one of the worlds largest collection of heat pipes on life test. With more than 200 heat pipes using various material systems and working fluids on continuous life and reliability testing, Aavid has gathered more than 40 years of life test data (>350,000 hours).
