Thermal Solutions for Today’s Power Electronics

For effective heat transfer and cooling for high-performance electronics — often in enclosures and environments that make thermal management a challenge — the small size and reliability of Thermacore thermal solutions give you tremendous design flexibility, allowing you to create thermal solutions for motor control and transit applications to satisfy the performance requirements of all kinds of rugged environments.

Power Control Systems
System reliability and maintenance-free operation are the driving factors in selecting a cooling approach. Heat pipe thermal solutions, with their high performance-to-heat sink volume ratio, light weight and proven reliability, are ideal for cooling the power semiconductors that have revolutionized the control of motors in industrial applications.Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), Symmetric Gate Commutated Turn-Off Thyristor (SGCT), (SCGTs), Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs), Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) and Thyristers. These devices, directly attached to the thermal management solution, often operate under harsh conditions — in applications including petroleum and chemical plants, mining, metal fabrication, paper mills, cement operations, water/wastewater facilities and electric power generation facililties.

Transportation and Traction
Leader's thermal pads are proven to stand up to the harshest of environmental requirements,which  cooling the wheelset power electronics in electric locomotive applications. Whether the solution is designed for a main line locomotive or a mass transit application (such as subways and light rail), the thermal system must be reliable to stand up to vibration, climate extremes and physical wear and tear. Thermacore also offers automotive system heat management solutions.

Power Supply
A highly efficient, cost-effective thermal control solution, such as heat pipes, is essential to the operation of uninterruptable power supply (UPS) systems in today's precise manufacturing environments.
