), a leading producer of electronic thermal management solutions under its eGRAF(R) brand name, has been approved for production on a new HS-400 Heat Sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips.  design in the next-generation LS/X supercomputer supercomputer, a state-of-the-art, extremely powerful computer capable of manipulating massive amounts of data in a relatively short time. Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized scientific and engineering applications that must handle very  from Linux Networx. The complete thermal solution combines four eGRAF(R) HS-400 natural graphite heat sinks with two eGRAF(R) SPREADERSHIELD(TM) natural graphite pieces.

AET's team of thermal engineers created a custom thermal solution for Linux, offering consultation services throughout the entire thermal design cycle. As a result of AET's intensive planning, testing and modeling process, Linux engineers discovered that the original total number of heat sink fins could be reduced, while maintaining performance and improving airflow in the system. AET also found that adding a SPREADERSHIELD(TM) heat spreader spreader,

 component would reduce the temperature of the power supply chip by 10 degrees C and maintain better long-term reliability. Overall, AET's HS-400 heat sink design significantly increased power by nearly 40% within the same form function.

Andy Reynolds, Lead Applications Engineer for AET, explained the key benefit of the new design. "The biggest advantage of our HS-400 Heat Sink over the traditional design is a weight savings of about 50%. With Linux's side-mounted design, an all-copper heat sink was just too heavy. Our lightweight solution improved mechanical shock and vibration performance and resolved issues with the mounting hardware."

Dave Turner, Senior Mechanical Engineer for Linux, shares excitement for the new approach. "We have been very impressed with the high quality of innovative thermal engineering and design in AET products. Their expertise has been invaluable in overcoming our increased maximum power dissipation requirements within existing space limitations. Linux and AET have continued to work collaboratively to solve upcoming thermal challenges in next-generation products."
