Lancaster, PA – December 12, 2011.  Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) (www.1-ACT.com) announced today that they will be offering a Webinar entitled “Advanced Thermal Management Technologies for Medical Devices” on January 17, 2012.  The webinar will provide medical device and other product designers with valuable information for addressing heat dissipation issues through use of emerging passive thermal transport technologies.  According to Pete Ritt, Vice President, Technical Services, “Medical devices, like many other electronic products, are becoming both smaller and more powerful.  This trend places increasing importance on a reliable and effective thermal management solution.  In addition to good thermal performance, medical devices also demand quiet operation at operating temperatures that are safe to touch.  Because passive heat transfer technologies such as heat pipes, vapor chambers and phase change materials offer all of these benefits, they are becoming part of the preferred thermal solutions, both within the medical device industry and beyond.”

ACT is a global leader in developing thermal technologies and has a wealth of knowledge and experience implementing passive heat transfer solutions for real world applications.  The webinar will explore these technologies, explaining the principles of operation as well as when and how to incorporate them into a product design.  Although targeted for medical device designers, the information presented in the webinar is applicable to other products that require thermal management.  Please join us for what promises to be an informative session on passive thermal transport technologies.
