Lancaster, PA August 5, 2016 – Advanced Cooling Technologies (ACT), announced today that after two years of strong collaborations, they are routinely delivering thermal-management hardware to Smart Wires. Smart Wires Inc., an innovative technology company located in the San Francisco Bay Area, developed a revolutionary product, the Power RouterTM, which adjusts the flow of power across grid lines by controlling impedance levels. This control enables power companies to push or pull power as required, offering customers a more reliable source of electricity. The product utilizes power-electronics devices which need well-engineered thermal-management solutions for enhancing reliability. That’s where ACT came in.
According to Haroon Inam, Chief Technology Officer at Smart Wires, “We knew in the early development stages that we would need to address thermal issues and it would require a partner with industry-leading thermal-management engineering expertise. Within days of our request, ACT sent out an engineering team to help us pinpoint any thermal issues. They then designed and delivered effective solutions and have become a key part of our team. ACT has been a highly reliable and responsive partner.”
According to Devin Pellicone, Lead Engineer for ACT, “working with the Smart Wires team has been an exciting challenge for us. They set, and met, ambitious deadlines and goals that required us to rapidly develop innovative thermal solutions. It’s been very rewarding to help them position themselves for great commercial success. We believe this work has established a strong collaboration that we expect will only get stronger.”
Advanced Cooling Technologies is a leader in providing thermal management solutions for challenging applications. Its broad portfolio of thermal technologies includes pumped two phase, pumped single phase (liquid) cooling, thermal storage and heat pipe based passive solutions.
