The whole thermal solution of EN235A consist of three heat transfer methods, heat conduction, heat convection and water circulation. For heat conduction, the solution utilizes a copper heat spreader directly contact with the processor and chipset. Further comes to water circulation that formed in heat pipe, the working fluid indirectly brings away the heat to dual side aluminum heat sink for faster heat dissipation. By adopting high efficiency thermal solution guarantees the system to operate smoothly under harsh environment -40°C to 70°C.

To meet the demands of customer’s extended temperature requirements, the whole thermal solution of EN235 consist of three heat transfer methods, heat conduction, heat convection and water circulation. For heat conduction, the solution utilizes a copper heat spreader directly contact with the processor and chipset. Further comes to water circulation that formed in heat pipe, the working fluid indirectly brings away the heat to dual side aluminum heat sink for faster heat dissipation. By adopting high efficiency thermal solution guarantees the system to operate smoothly under harsh environment -40°C to 70°C.
Honeycomb Dissipating Vents
The honeycomb vents are pre-drilled in rigid aluminum frames to fasten thermal convection and the airflow that will astonishingly enhances ventilation. The enclosure features large, open honeycomb vents on the top and back side instead of fan solution that allows natural convection cooling that gather dust easily.
Internal battery set and UPS function
EN 235A equipped internal battery set and UPS function, this feature support power delay off up to 10-15 minutes which allow users to have enough time to shut down the system properly or back up the systems when facing unexpected interruption of power supply.
Copper heat pipes
Heat pipe transfers heat from the heat sources to the heat sink over relatively long distance. Two-phase heat transfer involves the liquid-vapor phase change of a working fluid.
• 8.0 mm diameter heat pipe, 99.9% purity of copper
• High heat conductivity coefficient up to 5000!
Heat spreader
Heat sink is known for its ability to improve the distribution of heat. Our tailor-made heat sink is made with copper and aluminum. It can dissipate the heat in the quickest fashion.
• It contains 96% of aluminum, 48 mm in height and weighs 103.5 g.
• Consumes shorter heat dissipating time owing to lower metal density
