Introducing the New CooliBlade AURORA.
Why does the new CooliBlade AURORA, featuring cutting-edge NEOcore technology, outperform traditional aluminum heat sinks and copper heat pipes? AURORA’s innovative design enhances performance and establishes new benchmarks for reliability and cost-efficiency. Pilot customer deliveries are already underway, showcasing impressive performance improvements compared to previous cooling solutions.
The latest AURORA upgrade has achieved over 20°C lower temperatures for heat sink components and demonstrated up to 50% performance improvement, potentially quadrupling component lifespan. The AURORA platform is optimized for standard heat sink integration, directly replacing traditional aluminum solutions in high-volume applications. This thermal management solution is specifically designed as a drop-in replacement for power modules in the SEMiX® 3p, EconoDUAL™ 3, and VINcoDUAL E3 form factors.
The Challenge of Power Electronics
Modern power electronics face significant thermal management challenges as devices become more powerful. Effective cooling is critical to ensuring that power electronics applications operate at peak performance and reliability. Overheating accounts for 55% of all electronic failures, leading to substantial material, financial, operational, and reputational losses. Research shows that every 10°C increase in operating temperature can halve a component’s lifespan, making effective thermal management essential for system reliability and performance.
New AURORA: A Groundbreaking Thermal Management Solution
CooliBlade introduces innovative thermal management platforms designed to meet diverse customer needs. The new CooliBlade AURORA is a cutting-edge heat sink platform engineered to provide exceptional cooling performance, particularly for high-power applications utilizing IGBT and SiC power modules, which are prone to overheating at high power densities. AURORA offers unparalleled design flexibility with customizable sizes and installation angles.
AURORA delivers significant improvements in thermal performance under high heat flux conditions and excels in managing higher power densities. When conventional heat pipes begin to dry out, AURORA’s performance continues to improve, enabling the use of semiconductor modules with much higher power levels and densities than other cooling technologies.
AURORA’s design is particularly effective in power converter applications, where IGBT modules are often mounted vertically within confined air channels. While thermal conductivity constraints limit traditional aluminum-based solutions, the AURORA heat sink efficiently transfers heat away from the source, enabling better utilization of the entire air channel volume. This enhanced thermal distribution maximizes cooling efficiency, increases power handling capacity, and improves overall system reliability.
Benefits of the AURORA Cooling Solution
The AURORA platform offers a wide range of benefits for power electronics design, combining superior thermal performance, cost-effective manufacturing, and sustainability:
• Superior thermal performance: AURORA significantly enhances the efficiency and reliability of power electronics devices by maintaining lower operating temperatures. This enables the development of more powerful and compact products while extending component lifespans, improving energy efficiency, and reducing material usage compared to traditional solutions.
• Cost-effective manufacturing: AURORA is produced using a streamlined aluminum extrusion process, which supports scalable, high-volume production. Its single-material construction simplifies assembly, reducing manufacturing complexity and costs. These efficiencies translate into shorter time-to-market and significant cost savings for customers.
• Design flexibility: Customizable configurations allow AURORA to be tailored to specific customer needs. Its modular, space-optimized design makes it ideal for installations with limited space, maximizing cooling performance in minimal volume.
• Energy efficiency and system optimization: AURORA’s superior thermal management enables the use of smaller or slower-running fans, resulting in lower energy consumption, extended system lifetimes, and reduced air filter maintenance and replacement needs. These advantages minimize waste, lower noise levels, and contribute to healthier working environments while reducing noise pollution.
• Sustainability: AURORA is a recyclable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly product. Its lightweight design reduces transportation emissions, while its automated production in Europe ensures a reliable supply chain, strict quality control, and adherence to sustainability standards.
AURORA’s innovative design and manufacturing approach deliver cascading benefits across performance, cost, and environmental impact, making it a versatile and future-proof solution for power electronics applications.
