Abstract: A kinetic ice inhibitor is added to water in very small quantities (0.5 to 1.0 wt. %) to inhibit the nucleation and growth of ice crystals when the water is used as a working fluid in a heat transfer device, such as a vapor chamber heat sink. The preferred type of kinetic ice inhibitor is a water soluble polymer or copolymer, such as polymers, copolymers of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCAP) and terpolymers VC-713. These polymers kinetically delay or inhibit the formation and growth of ice crystals in the water and significantly reduce the chances of expansion damage to the heat transfer device when subjected to below freezing temperatures potentially encountered during shipment and storage.

Abstract: A flat type heat pipe for mounting a heating power element, which is capable of forming an optionally shaped heat transferring path with high accuracy, which is of a thin type and to which fins are easily attached. The flat type heat pipe includes at least two aluminum plates substantially in parallel with each other and brazed to each other so as to form a heat transferring path therebetween. The flat type heat pipe also includes an operating liquid which fills the heat transferring path. Because the heat transferring path 25 is formed by means of press molding, punching, laser beam machining, or cutting various shapes of heat transferring paths can be formed finely and with high accuracy. The flexible flat type heat pipe can be made thin, which allows for a variety of uses. Grooves and wicks can be disposed in the heat transferring path, thereby improving the heat conductivity. Because the surface is flat, the fins can be easily attached thereto, thereby a satisfactory radiation effect can be obtained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic equipment housing usable for various types of electronic equipment such as note-type personal computers, portable information instruments, portable acoustic instruments, and on-vehicle electric materials. The electronic equipment housing of the present invention is formed by bonding two or more plate-like members. These plate-like members are different in thickness from one another. These plate-like members are bonded together through an adhesive. The electronic equipment housing of the present invention can efficiently radiate heat from heating parts, can prevent air bubbles from occurring in an adhesive between plate-like members, can reduce time required to produce the electronic equipment housing and can properly control the heat conduction.

Abstract: There is provided a heat sink having excellent heat dissipation characteristics and mechanical reliability, which is used for motors for electric vehicles, control circuits therefor, internal combustion engines, general power control units, general motors, general semiconductors (CPUs, power modules, etc.), optical semiconductors and various electronic components, etc. The heat sink is configured so that an aluminum alloy layer is formed on at least one side or on both sides of a metallic plate shaped body and fins are formed on the aluminum alloy layer. Because the fins are formed on the aluminum alloy layer provided on the metallic plate shaped body, satisfactory thermal diffusion is effected in the metallic plate shaped body, and the thermal resistance between the metallic plate shaped body and the fin is low, so that the heat radiating effect is high, and the heat sink can be made small. Also, excellent and stable heat dissipation can be achieved for a long period of time.
