  1. Small Business Innovation Research ADVANCED HEAT PIPES FOR LOW/CRYOGENIC COOLING APPLICATIONSThermacore International, Inc.Lancaster, PA INNOVATION Heat pipes with advanced porous metal wicks for low temperature uses ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Developed high-lift flexible porous metal wicks for cryogenic heat pipes. • Demonstrated new limit to supercritical startup of cryogenic heat pipes. • Demonstrated applicability to refrigerator/freezers. • Demonstrated operation at -25C during STS launch conditions. COMMERCIALIZATION • Technology is in place for commercial Stirling refrigerator thermal interfaces. • Technology in place for cooled high-power electronics. • Company has gone multi-National. • Annual commercial growth of 30% every year since 1994. • See following website for more information on this technology: www.thermacore.com ADVANCED HEAT PIPES FOR LOW/CRYOGENIC COOLING APPLICATIONS • GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS • Stirling Orbiter Refrigerator/Freezer (SOR/F) flew successfully on STS-60. • Thermoelectric (solid state) freezer interfaces for Space Station • Cryogenically cooled infrared sensors, medical equipment, and electronics. • Extending this technology for loop heat pipes for spacecraft.
