Dimensional characteristics and machining tolerances of heat sinks
The geometric characteristics and the quality of the surfaces plays a crucial role in the functionality of a heat sink for electronic components. To produce heat sinks for low and medium powers extruded aluminum profiles are mostly used, these profiles have...
What can Priatherm do for your business?
A Customer-Oriented Company The main benefits that Priatherm is able to offer to its clients are its technical support, customized solutions and “make to print” products. We don’t think like the managers in the comic strip below… …we are...
Elements of Thermal Management for Batteries in E-Mobility Applications
Temperature is one of the most critical factors in designing and operating HEVs. An extremely high temperature may lead to explosion through thermal runaway or performance degradation of battery cells. Onthe opposite end, a battery system operating at low...
“Cool” Materials for Cooling Devices
Modern electronic devices, due to the increase of power density, require more and more efficient thermal systems to maintain their operating temperatures at a satisfactory level. On one side, the market imposes to reduce size and costs; on the other side,...
The anodization of a heat sink
Anodization of heat sink In some cases, a surface treatment on the aluminum heat sink is required by the application. This article will focus on the most common treatment used in thermal management: anodization. Following a list of different solutions, we will talk...
Technologies for heat sink manufacturing
Heat sinks for cooling power electronic devices are usually made of aluminium. This metal is the best material in terms of different parameters, such as thermal conductivity, weight, cost, availability on the market, and machinability. There are different...

People are the heart of technology: you need human warmth to keep it cool! Priatherm is a dynamic and innovative company specialized in design and production of air and liquid heat sinks. We focus on a process requiring high know-how called brazing. This technology...
Heat sink with clips: simple element, many advantages
The heat sink with clips is a very popular solution due to its simplicity. This system is “easy”, but presents many details we think it is important to know about. The first element of this kind of product was presented in the United States in the late 80s;...
Unlimited Connections
How to choose the best connection for your air or liquid cooling system. A heat sink has to interact with both the power source and the cooling fluid. It is also required to connect to the industrial carpentry that will host the electronic device. This...
Demystifying the liquid cooling system
When electronics devices generate a heat flux higher than 150 W/cm2, the heat transfer coefficient of the air is no longer enough to achieve the thermal requirement. At this point the cooling system requires a different fluid, and usually the liquid cooling system...
