How custom thermal projects work

1. Initial consultation

Share your thermal requirements, constraints and operating conditions with our technical team.

2. Design and quotation

We develop a proposed solution with drawings, thermal performance data and costs.

3. Prototyping and testing

Samples are manufactured for validation against your performance requirements.

4. Production and delivery

Approved designs move to prodcution with quality control and scheduled delivery.

Industries we support

We supply industrial cooling systems to organisations operating in temperature critical and performance driven environments. Each industry presents different thermal loads, environmental conditions and reliability requirements.

How to Choose the Right Thermal Management Solution

Selecting the right solution depends on your application requirements and operating conditions.

Thermal load

Calculate total heat dissipation in watss, including peak conditions and safety margins.

Operating environment

Consider ambient temprature, airflow conditions, ingreess protection and vibration.

Active or passive cooling

Passive solutions use heatsinks or enclosures. Active solutions use fans to increase heat dissipation.

Physical constraints

Account for available space, mounting positions and integration with other components.

Electrical requirements

For active cooling, define voltage, control signals and integration requirements.

What is Thermal Management?

Thermal management in electronics is the process of controlling and dissipating heat generated by components to keep them within safe operating temperatures. Without an effective heat path, temperatures rise, performance degrades and component life is reduced. Thermal management ensures heat is transferred away from critical components through conduction, convection or radiation.

How Thermal Management Works

Thermal management relies on three core mechanisms, each used depending on the application and operating environment.

1

Conduction

Heat transfers from a component into a heatsink or enclosure through direct contact.

Method:

Direct Transfer

2

Convection

Airflow removes heat from surfaces. Cooling fans increase heat dissipation by moving air across components.

Method:

Active Cooling

3

Radiation

Heat is emitted from surfaces into the surrounding environment, supporting passive cooling systems.

Method:

Passive Cooling

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about thermal management solutions and components.

Thermal management is the control and dissipation of heat generated by electronic components to maintain safe operating temperatures. It involves heatsinks, cooling fans, thermal interface materials and enclosures working together to transfer heat away from critical components. Without effective thermal management, component temperatures rise, performance drops and service life is reduced.

Thermal management solutions are the components and systems used to control and dissipate heat in electronic and industrial equipment. They include passive solutions such as heatsinks and heat dissipating enclosures, active solutions such as cooling fans and aggregates, and thermal interface materials that reduce contact resistance. We supply a full range of thermal management solutions from Fischer Elektronik and Cooltron.

The three primary types are conduction, convection and radiation. Conductive cooling uses heatsinks and thermal interface materials to draw heat from components. Convective cooling uses fans to move air across heat-generating surfaces. Radiative cooling uses enclosures and surfaces to emit heat into the environment. Most industrial systems combine two or more of these approaches depending on the thermal load and operating conditions.

We supply heatsinks, industrial cooling fans, thermal interface materials and heat dissipating enclosures from authorised manufacturers. Products are available off the shelf for immediate supply or modified to suit your application. Our range covers Fischer Elektronik heatsinks and enclosures, Cooltron AC, DC and EC axial fans, and a comprehensive selection of thermal interface materials.

Yes. All products comply with RoHS and current REACH requirements. Fischer Elektronik holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification. Compliance documentation, including RoHS declarations and REACH SVHC statements, is available on request. If you require specific documentation for a project or regulatory submission, contact our team and we will provide the relevant certificates.

Passive thermal management uses heatsinks or enclosures without any moving parts. Heat is dissipated through conduction and radiation alone, with no fan required. Active thermal management adds a cooling fan to increase airflow across heat-generating surfaces, enabling higher heat dissipation at the cost of additional components and potential maintenance. The right choice depends on your thermal load, available space and reliability requirements.

Yes. We support manufacturer led modifications including custom heatsinks with machined profiles and surface finishes, fan assemblies with specific voltages and connectors, and heat dissipating enclosures designed to meet IP or EMC requirements. For more complex applications, thermal modelling and validation is available through specialist partners before production. Contact our team to discuss your requirements.
