Type of components to be cooled: All screw-mounted types
Applications: Power conversion, traction drives, military & civil electronics, broadcasting

General presentation:

Air cooling is still the most common cooling technique in all industries because it is the simplest to set up. And yet, today's electronic components dissipate ever increasing amounts of power, pushing air cooling to its physical limits.

That is why Ferraz Shawmut Thermal Management has been developing the Radiacal® range of air cooling products over the years, mainly to meet the needs of the aeronautics and telecommunications markets.

Product presentation:

Radiacal® Corrugated consists of an aluminum base on which aluminum fins, formed mechanically from narrow strip, are bonded or soldered.

This makes it possible to reduce the spacing of the fins and thus increase the heat exchange surfaces required for today's thermal stresses.

This technology offers great flexibility in product design and great thermal efficiency for a lightweight product.

Surface treatments such as chemical nickel plating, tin plating or anodizing are all possible.

Advantages to the soldered-fin Radiacal®:

Great flexibility in design, reduced mass thanks to the use of corrugated fins, and excellent thermal performances are the product's main qualities.
Those qualities make it the perfect choice for applications in aeronautics.
