The agreement solidifies SprayCools strategic direction to align itself with industry leading turnkey solution providers to further the adoption of its unique direct-spray technology and the environmental isolation properties embodied in their recently introduced MPE product. “We are very excited to enter into this global partnership with GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms,” said Matt Gerber, CEO and President of SprayCool. “Their industry leadership in embedded computing hardware and software solutions, combined with SprayCool enclosures will facilitate the customers’ sourcing of full turnkey solutions, and provide them the flexibility to choose from a wide range of electronics card options,” he added.
The SprayCool enclosures provide GE Fanuc with distinct advantages, including the deployment of high performance computing electronics in harsh environments, as well as enabling GE Fanuc to offer their customers a mix of boards with various ruggedization levels within the same platform, saving both space and weight.
“We are well known for our ability to provide demanding customers with powerful, highly reliable embedded computing subsystems capable of operating in the harshest environments,” said Peter Cavill, General Manager, Military & Aerospace Business, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, “and this agreement with SprayCool extends our capabilities even further, allowing us to propose very high performance solutions that would previously not have been possible.”
SprayCool Technology
SprayCool patented HTUtwo-phase liquid cooling technology (see video)UTH 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 technology provides an efficiently controlled and isolated environment for a broad mix of electronics in a package that is significantly smaller, lighter, and more power and cost efficient, and faster to deploy by the integrator.
