Across the board, our clients are all experiencing thermal management challenges as end customers continue to demand products that are more efficient, more compact, and more power dense. However, each industry has its own unique challenges and constraints. ACT has broad expertise in thermal management solutions in all of the markets and industries listed below. No matter what market you are in, ACT has someone that can speak the language of your industry and help you find a solution that works for your unique set of requirements.
ACT’s thermal management solutions have been proven to reduce weight and increase component reliability in the demanding environments of aircraft. These environments include requirements such as high acceleration, large temperature swings, altitude, etc.. Our product line is also AS9100 certified to meet the challenging quality demands of the aviation market. Many electronics devices generate waste heat that can cause critical components to overheat and result in deteriorated performance or failure. ACT has many effective thermal management solutions for these applications. Sealed electrical and electronic enclosures in all types of environments and industries are the perfect applications for our patent-pending designs. Our various options that suit your needs often result in significantly improved performance/cost and performance/volume ratios. Our online selection tool helps you select from our standard products to meet your requirements, and our highly experienced engineers stand ready to discuss any unique needs that require a custom cooling solution. HVAC systems can be costly to operate. ACT has passive heat exchangers that perform pre-cooling and re-heating in air conditioning systems to provide more efficient performance and dehumidification. These solutions offer paybacks that are generally less than two years. Large scale high temperature material processing many times require heat pipes for heat transfer or spreading. ACT’s high temperature heat pipes are a great thermal management solution for these applications. Thermal management plays a critical role in the medical industry. Common problems include maintaining a safe external device temperature for patient contacting surfaces, cryogenic cooling for surgery applications, and cooling electronics in medical equipment. ACT has a diverse set of cooling capabilities to serve the diverse needs of the medial market. Thermal Management limits the power density and overall capability of many military electronics systems. ACT can help design and build a solution that works reliably in even the most rugged environments. Embedded Computing is an important aspect of defense electronics systems, routinely fielded in aerospace, ground and naval applications. Many critical functions such as data processing, Electronic Warfare (EW), imaging and communications are made possible by specifically designed embedded computing systems. These Defense systems require significant functionality and speed leading to increasingly higher levels of waste heat, which must be managed without affecting the systems’ durability or form factor. Directed Energy Weapons are designed to damage targets at long distances with concentrated energy including lasers, microwaves and particle beams. The concentration of this energy leads to large heat loss. The overall reliability of the system relies on keeping the energy source at safe operating temperature. In many applications, the effectiveness of the laser can be negatively impacted by poor thermal management. In addition to power and thermal performance, these systems must be contained in extremely size and weight friendly packages. ACT offers a variety of effective thermal management solutions to reliably and cost-effectively cool Laser Diodes, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), optical amplifiers and photovoltaics for the Photonics industry. IGBTs and other power electronic devices generate a large amount of waste heat that needs to be managed, often within restricted and tight enclosure spaces. ACT offers both passive and active (pumped) solutions for cooling the high heat load of these high voltage devices. More efficient solar energy collection often requires handling concentrated energy sources. . ACT has the thermal management technologies required to collect and transfer heat over a wide temperature range, from ambient to 1,100°C. Satellite and other spacecraft demand highly reliable thermal management solutions. Under its AS9100 certification, ACT offers a variety of superior space thermal systems; ACT’s aluminum-ammonia (CCHP) product line has over 40 million hours of flight heritage, and Space-grade copper-water heat pipes (SCWHPs) are set to revolutionize satellite thermal control possibilities. ACT is a world leader in supplying the metrology industry with Isothermal Furnace Liners and other high precision calibration equipment. ACT’s products cover the temperature range of -40°C to 1,100°C. Whether it’s for cooling electronics, engine components or battery packs, ACT’s active and passive heat-dissipating and heat spreading technologies can be used to provide effective thermal management for Automotive, Rail, Shipping, and other transport industries.Aviation
