Laird Technologies, a manufacturer of performance-critical components and systems for advanced electronics and wireless products, has recently released the WL Series Liquid to Heat Exchanger Systems product line for use in demanding thermal management applications on the market. According to the company, the WL Series are designed to remove large amounts of heat from densely packed electronic environments that are not conducive to convention heat sink fans.
According to Andrew Dereka, the thermoelectric product manager for Laird Technologies, the WL Series achieves better cooling capacities and heat flux densities than conventional heat sink fan mechanisms due to the superiority of heat transfer conducted by water over conventional air cooled mechanisms. The heat exchanger systems are designed to circulate water with glycol and are powered by AC voltage. The standard cooling capacities for the products range from 500 to 5,000 Watts.
Laird Technologies also offers custom liquid to air heat exchanger systems based on the WL Series.
