Thermal Management

Thermal Management & Precision Engineering

Naeco has a proven track record as a global provider of thermal management; designing and manufacturing cold plate cooling systems and heat exchangers for the most demanding thermal management applications.

These range from fan cooled cold plates to RAM air powered cooling systems, for ACMs and outboard liquid to air cooled pods .

Naeco also  manufactures large cold plates up to 5 metres  long  x  2.5 metres wide.

Liquid Flow Through Heat Exchangers

When dealing with very high heat fluxes liquid flow through heat exchangers are the ideal high-performance solution. By utilising the latest CFD software, empirical data, and extensive design and manufacturing experience, Naeco is able to predict performance with a high degree of accuracy.

Vacuum Brazing Air Flow Performance Fin

With ever increasing power requirements in more compact configurations, performance fin cold plates are meeting this demand. Folded fin has the ability to enable engineers to have a greater surface area coupled with superior turbulent flow whilst maintaining low pressor drop.

This technology is predominantly used in cold plates, heat exchangers and air cooled chassis for industry sectors dealing with moderate to high watt densities, namely;-  Radar, Satcom, and high power computing.

Vacuum Brazed & Dip Brazed Waveguides

Naeco’s manufacturing incorporates brazing waveguide networks with Integrated cooling as well as RF networks & antennas with interconnecting waveguide couplers & flanges.

Dip Brazing is a joint technology that has superior fillet control enabling :

  • EMI Shielding
  • Leak Proof joints for pressurization of W/G
  • Multiple joint coupling & flanges brazed simultaneously
  • Minimum Distortion

Large Cold Plates

up to 5 Metres Long

Naeco  with its  large  machining centres and   large  vacuum ovens  have a proven track record  of  processing  large cold plates  from 5 metres long  x 1.5 metres wide.

  Naeco  has  consistently supplied  large cooling system, mainly  to suit  Land  and Ship  radar,  which provides scanning  capabilities  for detecting  all airborne targets  ( UAVs , Rotary wing , border surveillance and for Tactical Ballistic Missile).

This includes large liquid cooled antenna faces  plus structural panels with integrated cooling and  waveguide.

Naeco  has supplied  large brazed machined  Housings for PODS up to  2.8 metres long.
