What is NEOcore technology?

NEOcore is CooliBlade’s proprietary thermal management technology—an advanced, fully integrated thermosiphon cooling system. It uses phase-change technology to transfer heat with exceptional efficiency and reliability. Unlike traditional heat pipes, NEOcore is seamlessly integrated into a fully aluminum heat sink structure, eliminating extra thermal interfaces and maximizing heat transfer performance. This results in superior cooling capacity, increased durability, and a cost-effective solution for high-power electronics.

What are the advantages of NEOcore technology compared to competing solutions?

NEOcore technology offers significant benefits over traditional cooling methods by integrating an advanced thermosiphon into a fully aluminum heat sink structure. Here’s how it compares:

 

NEOcore vs. Heat Pipes

Fewer thermal interfaces – Heat pipes rely on multiple contact surfaces, increasing thermal resistance, whereas NEOcore eliminates unnecessary interfaces for direct heat transfer.

Higher reliability – No risk of heat pipe dry-out or performance degradation over time.

Lower cost – Simplified manufacturing and full aluminum integration reduce production costs.

More consistent performance – Works efficiently across various orientations without being affected by gravity.

 

NEOcore vs. Traditional Aluminum Heat Sinks

Superior heat dissipation – Standard heat sinks rely on passive conduction, while NEOcore actively spreads heat using phase-change cooling.

Higher power density – Enables more efficient cooling in compact designs.

Faster thermal response – Quickly transfers heat across the entire structure, preventing localized hot spots.

Optimized airflow – Designed to maximize the effectiveness of forced convection cooling.

 

NEOcore vs. Liquid Cooling

No pumps or moving parts – Eliminates the risk of mechanical failure.

Lower maintenance – No need for coolant replacement, leak prevention, or complex plumbing.

Lighter and more compact – No external tubing or reservoirs required.

More cost-effective – Provides high-efficiency cooling without the added expense of a liquid cooling system.

 

NEOcore delivers a unique balance of efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, making it the preferred choice for demanding power electronics applications.

What is the operating temperature range of the technology?

NEOcore technology is designed to operate reliably across extreme temperature conditions. It functions in ambient air temperatures ranging from -50°C to +60°C and can be safely stored between -70°C and +90°C without degradation. The maximum allowable heat sink surface temperature is 150°C, ensuring stable performance even in high-power applications. Whether exposed to freezing cold or demanding industrial heat, NEOcore’s phase-change thermosiphon efficiently manages thermal loads to maintain optimal operation. For application-specific requirements, refer to the product datasheets.

Can your products be ordered directly, or are they customized for each customer?

CooliBlade offers both standard and customized cooling solutions. Our AURORA and ULTIMA products are available in standard configurations (also available as evaluation kits), which can be ordered directly for faster delivery. However, we often customize the products to meet specific thermal and mechanical requirements. Custom solutions may involve modifications in dimensions, mounting options, or performance tuning to fit unique applications. If you require a tailored design, our engineering team will work closely with you to develop the optimal solution. For inquiries about standard or customized products, contact our sales team to discuss your needs.

What differentiates your products from competing solutions in the same application?

CooliBlade’s products stand out by combining high cooling efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in a fully integrated design. Unlike traditional heat sinks, which rely solely on passive conduction, and heat pipes, which introduce additional thermal interfaces, our NEOcore technology uses a phase-change thermosiphon to transfer heat more efficiently. This results in lower thermal resistance, improved heat spreading, and better overall performance.

Compared to liquid cooling, CooliBlade solutions offer a maintenance-free alternative with no pumps, no leaks, and no complex plumbing. The fully aluminum heat sink structure ensures durability, recyclability, and lightweight construction without sacrificing performance. With optimized designs for forced convection cooling, our products deliver superior heat dissipation in compact and high-power applications where traditional solutions fall short.

What is the expected product lifecycle?

CooliBlade products are designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements. The fully aluminum construction ensures structural durability, while the integrated phase-change thermosiphon operates without moving parts, eliminating common failure points found in heat pipes or liquid cooling systems.

With no pumps, fans, or mechanical wear components, the expected lifespan of our cooling solutions typically matches or exceeds the lifecycle of the power electronics they cool. In most applications, CooliBlade products provide decades of reliable operation without performance degradation. The exact lifespan depends on environmental conditions and application-specific factors, but our solutions are engineered for high thermal stability and long service life in demanding industries.

For more details on durability and performance over time, refer to product datasheets or contact our team.

How is a customized product developed?

CooliBlade specializes in custom thermal solutions designed to meet the exact needs of your application. Our development process ensures optimal performance, seamless integration, and cost efficiency.

The process begins with an application review, where we analyze your system’s cooling requirements, including power dissipation, airflow conditions, mechanical constraints, and environmental factors. From there, our engineering team develops a tailored design using advanced simulations and thermal modeling to optimize performance.

Once the design is finalized, we move to the prototyping phase, where we manufacture and test real-world samples to validate performance under operating conditions. After successful validation, we transition to production scaling, ensuring high-quality manufacturing with cost-effective delivery.

Whether you need modified standard products or a fully custom cooling solution, CooliBlade’s expertise in NEOcore technology and forced convection cooling ensures industry-leading thermal performance. Contact our team to discuss your specific requirements and start the development process.
