Thermal management

The cooling and temperature control of components and systems is playing an increasingly important role, particularly in the field of electronics. We offer solutions for thermal management based on heat pipes and Peltier coolers.

 

Heat pipes

Heat pipes are highly effective at transferring heat, making them particularly suitable for hot-spot cooling in electronics. We can develop and characterize heat pipes of various designs according to individual requirements.

 

Switchable heat pipes

For future applications including electromobility, thermal switches need to become more efficient and cost-effective. We are researching new concepts for heat switches based on heat pipes.

 

Peltier systems

We produce Peltier modules in small batches on a partially automated module production line. Aside from module production, we also develop, build and characterize Peltier-based systems for specific applications.

Partners and Networks

  • ITS - International Thermoelectric Society
  • ETS - European Thermoelectric Society
  • Cluster Fuel Cell BW

Competence Center Heat Pipes

 

In the Competence Center Heat Pipes, we combine the expertise available in several Fraunhofer Institutes in the design, manufacture and characterization of heat pipes of various types.
