The Future<br />

<strong>VDF</strong> cooling offers the design engineer another level of flexibility and performance<br />

but is not the solution for every application<br />

Arenas which lend themselves to this technology:<br />

• Where weight and size are important.<br />

• Applications which experience high cyclical loads.<br />

• Applications using “live” heatsinks for example <strong>with</strong> puck style devices or for EMC<br />

reduction.<br />

• Designs that require more power output from a given device package for example<br />

increased switching frequency or difficulty in paralleling devices.<br />

• Systems <strong>with</strong> multiple loads in the cooling loop connected in series which also require<br />

low thermal stacking.<br />

• Applications which already have a refrigerant loop.<br />

• Systems that require fast easy servicing and quick connect coolant connectors that can<br />

be used alongside high voltage.<br />
