DESIGN GUIDE

design-guide1

  • Fins per inch: 650-8 (255-3 Fins/Centimeter)                                    
  • Fin thickness to fin gap ratio: 1:1 – 1:3
  • Fin height to fin thickness ratio up to 15:1
  • Max fin gap: 1.2mm +
  • Pins can be formed in either an in-line or staggered pattern.
  • Pin diameter and gap vary from 1mm to 0.5mm
  • Pin height to diameter ratio up  to 8:1
  • Fins or pins can be applied over large surfaces up to 1X1 meter
  • Fins or pins can be added in specific “island” locations or on across entire surface
  • All of these options can be varied with little to no setup or tooling (a customer could easily try multiples of different fin or pin geometries with one fixture)

Wolverine's MicroCool® Evaporator and Condenser Testing

Wolverine completes testing on its MicroCool® evaporator and condenser in a major thermal management program with the University of Maryland, for the Office of Naval Research, that clearly demonstrates the thermal performance advantage of its MDT microchannel.

Wolverine Expanded Its Process Capability

Sy-Jenq Loong, MicroCool® Engineering Manager, has expanded the process capability for Wolverine’s proprietary Micro Deformation Process and the result is a larger library of enhanced surface geometries for thermal management solutions.

Wolverine Expanded Its Business Thermal Management Capabilities

Wolverine’s MicroCool® Division is in the process of expanding its business thermal management capability from simply fundamental MDT surfaces to full scale components with full design support, manufacturing, and assembly.
