Welcome to the World of Aavid Heat Pipes
As a pioneer in heat pipe technology and their
application, Aavid Thermalloy has developed a
high quality manufacturing process to ensure
long life and reliability in our heat pipes.
We’ve had over a decade of experience designing
and fabricating heat pipes and heat pipe assemblies.

Heat Pipes are great thermal energy transporters that use an
evaporator and condenser in place of a solid conductor. While
they don’t dissipate heat themselves, heat pipes quickly move
heat from one area of the heat pipe to another area. The aerospace
industry has been the proving ground of heat pipe reliability, and
has been used for decades in harsh and demanding environments.

Applications

Efficient Heat Transport Air Cooling

Heat pipes are great at moving or spreading heat, especially when
embedded in a base plate. They can quickly move heat away from
temperature sensitive devices to a place the heat can be dissipated.
Heat pipes can also be used to increase fin efficiency by moving heat
directly to the cooler top portion of fins. Many types of applications
can benefit from heat pipes.
