Hybricon Corporation Announces Release of New Liquid-Cooled 1-ATR Chassis
18 January 2006 16:32
Hybricon Corporation announces the release of a new liquid-cooled 1-ATR chassis, which is designed for applications using high power conduction-cooled boards such as VITA 41 VXS and VITA 46.
Traditional conduction-cooled ATR chassis can handle boards that dissipate 20-40 watts per slot; however, today's airborne and ground vehicle signal processing applications such as electronic warfare, ELINT, SIGINT, and electro-optical systems require higher levels of processing power and utilize boards that can generate over 90 watts of heat per slot. Liquid cooling provides a much better heat transfer mechanism to provide the cooling capacity required by the new generation of high performance boards. Hybricon's liquid-cooled ATR has a demonstrated capability of cooling 100 watts per slot.
Hybricon's liquid-cooled ATR meets ARINC 404A/MIL-STD-91403 requirements. It features brazed construction with liquid-cooled card cage sidewalls. A variety of cooling fluids can be accommodated: PAO; Ethylene Glycol/Water; Propylene Glycol/Water; Fluorinerts FC-75, FC-77, FC-104. The high power configuration is capable of 800 watts for 1 ATR short or 1000 plus watts for 1 ATR long. A low pressure drop version is available (under 1.5 psid).
The top load 1 ATR short is available in a standard configuration with a 9-slot VITA 41 VXS or VME64x backplane and 1 power supply or a high power configuration with an 8-slot VITA 41 VXS or VME64x backplane and 2 power supplies. The power supplies provide 28 VDC input per MIL-STD704; 1 and 3 phase 115VAC @400 Hz are also available.
Additional features include:
- Customizable I/O front bezel with Mil 38999 or other connectors
- MIL-STD-461 EMI
- Custom configurations and system integration services available
