Vapor Chamber Technology and Wick Design
Vapor chamber technology is a highly efficient cooling system used in electronic devices and high-performance computing systems. Yet, not all vapor chambers are made equal. Several parameters can impact the effectiveness of a given vapor chamber, such as the vapor space, working fluid & fluid volume and the wick (capillary) structure, amongst others.
Radian Thermal Products specializes in the design and manufacture of vapor chambers tailored to their clients’ exacting needs where precise temperature control is required for the optimal performance for industrial, military or medical applications.
Radian Thermal has developed a high-performance wick VaporCore, which has proven to outperform typical sintered powder wicks, in some tests.
Not All Vapor Chambers Are Made Equal
There are several ways to create this wicking structure for vapor chambers, but the two popular methods for conventional VCs are via sintered copper powder or copper mesh. Each method has unique strengths, and choosing the right one depends on your application.
Conclusive Testing
Each VC is physically identical, with just the internal structure differing; so, the same vapor chamber plate geometry and material (C1020 alloy), same methodology for determining the mass of working fluid and the same build process and machinery.
