Laird Technologies WL series liquid cooling for densely packed electronic environments

The WL series liquid to air heat exchanger systems from Laird Technologies are self-contained units designed to remove a large amount of heat from densely packed electronic environments that are not conducive to conventional heatsink fans. They provide users with the benefit of investing in a full assembly, rather than having separate components and making them work together.

Suitable for the medical and industrial markets, these products are able to maintain peak performance of high-powered X-ray scanning systems by keeping the X-ray generator and tube cool. The WL series also extends the life and improves the performance of machine tools used in CNC machining for fabricating metals.

The products are suitable for most thermal management applications on the market. Heat transfer conducted by water is better than conventional air-cooled mechanisms due to its high thermal conductivity. As a result, the series achieves much higher cooling capacities and heat flux densities than conventional heat sink fan mechanisms. The product family also has the ability to concentrate cooling at the active source and route heat away without introducing additional heat to electronics located in close proximity to the heat source. This can be critical when heat loads are in the kilowatt range.

The series is assembled through proprietary processes and designed to circulate water or water with glycol (anti-freeze) and run on AC voltage. Standard cooling capacities range from 500 to 5000 W. These units comply with process control standards and pass/fail criteria.
