Kelvin Thermal's TGPs are unique and useful. Click Kelvin Thermal TGP Products (PDF) for a summary of the products offered. Or, you can watch a short YouTube Video on KT TGPs.

We have established two production lines to serve customers. The line in Colorado is ready to serve those interested in custom-designed vapor chambers in the US. This line is qualified to mass produce reliable TGPs for satellites. We can produce thousands of TGPs per month. Of course, the real throughput rates are highly dependent on the size and complexity of the TGPs. We can expand our production facility easily since it is scalable. The following features of the TGP can be included in the design: thin, light, flexible, foldable (dynamic or static), high power, high heat flux.

How about reliability? Our TGPs are proven reliable through different qualification tests. For example, our TGPs have passed thermal shock testing ranging from -45C to 85C, thermal cycling testing, age testing, burst testing, etc. In addition, we have developed an internal bonding process, so our water-charged TGPs can survive at temperatures up to 150C with a possibility to reach higher temperatures if needed.

We are developing different services for prospective customers. Here is a list of what we can offer now.

Why do you need an application-specific TGP?
Yes, you need an application-specific TGP for your system. In fact, you need a TGP-based thermal design for your system. As shown in the figure, with the same TGP, the performance measures (i.e., maximum power and temperature difference across the TGP) can be very different. The maximum power the TGP can handle is 13.5 Watts for a distributed cooling case (lower right), but it drops to only 7.6 Watts for a "heat pipe" case (upper left). The temperature difference across the TGP is also highly affected by the distribution of heat sources and heat sinking regions. If transient performance is another essential consideration, the design becomes very complicated. Kelvin Thermal can work with system designers to evaluate different TGP configurations including a consideration of power inputs and cooling outputs. Our model is always calibrated by experimental results; it is proven accurate to simulate transient and steady state behaviors. For more information, send us an email at [email protected].
