| SprayCool® MPE scalable military enclosures |
Liberty Lake, WA– May 1, 2008 – SprayCool, a recognized leader in the development of advanced “direct spray” based enclosure solutions for the military, announced today integrator benefits for its Multi-Platform Enclosure (MPE). Targeted for use in a variety of mission critical military applications, and already adopted by leading prime integrators for programs such as ASIP, TRACER, MEADS and EFV, the MPE chassis employs the companys patented two-phase cooling technology (SprayCool®) and offers unique value propositions for integrators.
The MPE is just one of planned series of baseline enclosures by SprayCool that revolutionize how integrators can deploy a broader variety of electronics in harsh military environments, even those without a dedicated ECS. Unprecedented in its flexibility, the MPE allows integrators to deploy legacy or proprietary electronics with commercial grade electronics in the same enclosure. The MPE is unique in that it accepts cards designed for traditional air or conduction cooling with minimal modifications, which translates directly into both lower costs and faster sourcing and deployment cycles for integrators and their military customers.
The MPEs controlled operating environment provides environmental isolation and enables all electronics to operate effectively in the most demanding environments, and allows integrators to deploy systems in sonme of the lightest, most compact and cost effective enclosures available today. “SprayCools patented two-phase liquid cooling system means customers can package significantly more electronics capability into a smaller, lighter, more power efficient enclosure, and do it much more quickly. This unique capability has resulted in the award of several significant military contracts for our MPE this year,” said Matt Gerber, SprayCool president and chief executive officer.
The MPE enclosure can scale from 4 slots to 21 slots and is designed to meet industry standard designs for 6U x 160mm VME-64X, VPX, VXS, cPCI and CPCIe(EXP.0) and proprietary electronics boards, and offers significantly more cooling capability (from 20-500 Watts per slot) than enclosures using older cooling technologies such as air or conduction cooling. The SprayCool MPE also accommodates a wide variety of customer specified I/O options. The operating environment can range from -65C to +71C, and up to 70,000+ ft. altitude in unpressurized compartments. SprayCool’s MPE meets or exceeds MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461 requirements for harsh environments.
SprayCool Technology
SprayCool “direct spray” patented technology uses a fine mist of non-corrosive, non-conductive liquid, sprayed in a thin layer, which evaporates and cools electronics. The process continuously cycles within a sealed, closed loop system. In doing so, SprayCool products isolate the electronics from dirty, corrosive environments found in military and industrial applications resulting in cooler, higher performance, and more durable electronic devices. The result, is enabling denisification of electronis up to 4x in the same space, and reduced reliance on dedicated ECS systems.
MPE Applications
The SprayCool MPE is ideally suited for the challenges facing todays integrators and system designers that need to package more processing power into an existing or smaller space, and use cards with shorter sourcing cycles for faster overall deployment. With the broad variety of cards accepted by the MPE, system integrators no longer need to wait to deploy the latest in electronic solutions.
