Liquid Metal-Cooled Active Heat Sinks
Aqwest developed a novel, ultra-low thermal resistance active heat sink (AHS) using liquid metal flowing at high speed in a miniature closed and sealed loop within a self-contained package. Liquid metal flow is maintained electromagnetically without any moving parts. Velocity of liquid metal flow can be controlled electronically to vary temperature.
