Hardware Design
CapeSym specializes in novel thermal management devices for removal of high heat fluxes. We have many years of experience in applying impingement cooling to challenging heat transfer applications, using micro-scaled devices such as micro-jets, micro-slots, and micro-channels to achieve high-performance, compact cooling in very challenging situations.
In impingement the heat transfer coefficient scales inversely with the jet/slot size. Thus, by going to jets with diameters in the range of 100s of microns very high heat transfer coefficients can be obtained. We have developed a microjet array (MJCA) that consists of an array of small diameter impinging jets which are packed very closely to each other. Each jet is surrounded by a number of return ports so that the return flow from each jet is exhausted locally. In this manner, each jet is effectively isolated from the neighboring ones, and the cooling effect of a single microjet is replicated over a large area.
