Custom Vapor chamber heat sink

A vapor chamber heat sink is a complex thermal management device designed to move heat away from critical components in electronic systems. It works on the principles of phase change and heat conduction, utilizing a sealed chamber filled with a small amount of liquid (usually water or refrigerant). When heat is applied to one side of the chamber, the liquid evaporates, turning into steam. These vapors then flow to cooler areas of the chamber where they condense into a liquid, releasing the absorbed heat. This cycle is repeated, resulting in efficient heat transfer across the entire surface of the heat sink.

A vapor chamber consists of a flat, sealed shell whose interior is lined with a wick structure. The wick helps draw condensed liquid back to the heat source through capillary action. The design allows heat to be evenly distributed throughout the chamber, minimizing hot spots and ensuring even heat dissipation. This is especially beneficial for high-performance applications where components can generate large amounts of heat in a short period of time.

1. High Thermal Conductivity: The vapor chamber can achieve a thermal conductivity that far exceeds that of traditional radiators. This means they can transfer heat more efficiently, making them ideal for high-performance CPUs, GPUs, and other heat-sensitive components.
