Challenge
Military-grade computers require exceptional stability, reliability, and interference resistance to function in extreme environments, including high temperatures, intense vibrations, and humidity.
These devices are widely used in command control, drone navigation, and battlefield surveillance,where efficient cooling, strong anti-interference capabilities, and robust data protection are crucial
for ensuring stable operation and data integrity.
As technology advances, performance expectations for military-grade systems continue to rise, necessitating improved heat dissipation, enhanced shock resistance, and the ability to operate in extreme conditions to meet the increasing demands of future missions.
CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS
Military-grade computers operate in far more challenging environments than general applications. To address these conditions, the customer required the following from Silicon Power:
1.Efficient Heat Dissipation – The system must remain stable under high-load conditions, requiring an advanced cooling system that effectively regulates temperature to prevent performance degradation.
2.High Stability and Durability – The heat sink must maintain long-term stability, withstanding external impacts and environmental stress without compromising performance.
3.Reliable Performance in Harsh Environments – Whether exposed to extreme temperatures, humidity, or high vibrations, the heat sink must ensure continuous, stable operation without failure.
Solution and Technology
Silicon Power’s HT80H heat sink integrates innovative cooling technology, offering a customized solution for extreme environments and meeting the stringent demands of military applications.
- Dual-Sided Thermal Pads for Enhanced Cooling Efficiency – The combination of top and bottom thermal pads with the aluminum heat sink significantly enhances thermal conduction, stabilizing system temperatures.
- Superior Heat Conductivity – The thermal pads and aluminum alloy heat sink work together to rapidly dissipate heat, ensuring temperature stability even under high workloads.
- High-Quality Aluminum Alloy – The lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy construction ensures optimal heat dissipation and long-term thermal performance, even under sustained heavy usage.
- Significant Temperature Reduction – Without a heat sink, system temperatures reach 71°C. With the HT80H heat sink and dual thermal pads, temperatures drop to 50°C, greatly improving system efficiency and reliability.
- High Durability Design – Engineered for long-term operation in harsh environments, the HT80H offers exceptional durability, ensuring uninterrupted functionality under extreme conditions.
- Cost-Effective Performance – Compared to similar products, the HT80H heat sink delivers superior cooling performance at a highly competitive price, balancing performance and cost-efficiency.
The HT80H heat sink not only effectively prevents overheating but also enhances system stability and longevity, making it an ideal solution for military and industrial applications requiring robust and reliable thermal management.
Application Areas
The HT80H heat sink provides outstanding heat dissipation and, when paired with dual thermal pads, further enhances temperature stability. These thermal pads efficiently transfer heat from key components to the aluminum heat sink, effectively lowering component temperatures and ensuring uninterrupted performance.
This design is particularly suited for high-stress environments that demand superior heat management, including:
- Military-Grade Computers
- Industrial Control Systems
- Servers & Data Centers
By integrating thermal pads with the HT80H heat sink, this solution ensures reliable, long-term operation in high-temperature environments, preventing thermal-related failures and performance degradation, while also extending the lifespan of critical hardware.
Silicon Power will continue to optimize and expand the HT80 series, delivering high-performance, reliable thermal management solutions for customers in military, industrial, and data-intensive applications.
