MATERIALS FOR THERMAL DESIGN
Industrial computing

Thermal design.
Built around the enclosure.

Explore material choices for industrial computers, embedded devices and compact fanless systems.

Technology & application overview

Rugged computers, communications and SSDs

Plan a thermal path for CPU/GPU modules, storage and communications electronics in compact fanless systems. Installation orientation, sustained computing load and startup temperature belong in the design brief alongside space and maintenance constraints.

CoolRock PLUS and Premium evaluation paths

The existing product presentation distinguishes PLUS, retaining the original heatsink, from Premium, allowing heatsink optimization. Discuss the current availability of each option, geometry changes, coating process and sample schedule with TiKOUS.

ENGINEERING NOTES

Fanless industrial computer thermal management

Connect processors and storage to the enclosure while accounting for installation, ambient conditions and maintenance.

01

The enclosure is part of the thermal path

Map heat from the CPU, GPU and SSD to the spreader, interface and enclosure. Include installation orientation, clearances and nearby heat sources. Discuss CoolRock surfaces and KappaX interfaces as distinct parts of the assembly.

02

Existing hardware or a revised heatsink

Choose whether the evaluation must retain the existing geometry or may change the heatsink. These are different baselines and should not share a single improvement figure. Confirm sample preparation and lead time for the selected scope.

03

Qualify the complete device

Include startup and sustained load at the required ambient conditions, plus vibration and humidity where relevant. Define enclosure sealing and electrical requirements separately. A coating does not by itself establish an IP rating or equipment reliability figure.

Application FAQ

Can the current enclosure be retained?

Start with the existing geometry and thermal baseline. TiKOUS can discuss a material evaluation within those constraints; the measured result determines whether mechanical changes are needed.

Bring the operating environment into the conversation

A thermal-material discussion starts with the enclosure, component arrangement and installation. Share your operating environment and space constraints so the evaluation reflects how the device will be used.

Questions for your application brief

  • How is the enclosure installed and where is heat transferred?
  • Which ambient conditions and operating loads matter?
  • Which surface finish and assembly process must be retained?
An evaluation should reflect your actual assembly, operating conditions and project requirements. Share these details with TiKOUS before selecting a material.
