Thermal - Heat Pipes, Vapor Chambers

Fans and thermal management products are used to regulate the temperature of electronic devices and systems. Fans are mechanical devices that use blades to move air or other gases, and are commonly used to cool electronic components by dissipating the heat they generate. Thermal management products, on the other hand, are materials or devices that are used to conduct, dissipate, or otherwise control heat in electronic systems. These products can include things like heatsinks, thermal grease, and thermal interface materials, which are used to improve the heat transfer between components and the surrounding environment. Heat pipes and vapor chambers are two types of thermal management products that are used to conduct heat away from electronic components. Heat pipes are hollow tubes that contain a liquid coolant, which evaporates and condenses as it moves along the length of the tube. This allows the heat pipe to transfer heat from one location to another, effectively moving heat from a hot component to a cooler location where it can be dissipated. Vapor chambers, on the other hand, are flat, plate-like structures that use the same principle of evaporation and condensation to transfer heat. These devices are commonly used in high-performance computer systems and other applications where it is necessary to quickly and efficiently move large amounts of heat.
