SprayCool liquid cooled enclosures extend GE Fanuc’s turnkey product
solutions for military/aerospace applications

LIBERTY LAKE, Wash., July 29 /PRNewswire/ — SprayCool(R), a recognized
leader in the development of advanced thermal management solutions for the
military, aerospace and industrial computing customers, announced today
that it has signed a global agreement with GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms,
a unit of GE Enterprise Solutions. Under the agreement, GE Fanuc will
source the SprayCool MPE enclosure to provide fully integrated subsystems
that include GE Fanuc’s commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) embedded computing
solutions for military applications. (See accompanying release issued today
by GE Fanuc)

The agreement solidifies SprayCool’s strategic direction to align
itself with industry leading turnkey solution providers to further the
adoption of its unique direct-spray technology and the environmental
isolation properties embodied in their recently introduced MPE product. “We
are very excited to enter into this global partnership with GE Fanuc
Intelligent Platforms,” said Matt Gerber, CEO and President of SprayCool.
“Their industry leadership in embedded computing hardware and software
solutions, combined with SprayCool enclosures will facilitate the
customers’ sourcing of full turnkey solutions, and provide them the
flexibility to choose from a wide range of electronics card options,” he
added.

The SprayCool enclosures provide GE Fanuc with distinct advantages,
including the deployment of high performance computing electronics in harsh
environments, as well as enabling GE Fanuc to offer their customers a mix
of boards with various ruggedization levels within the same platform,
saving both space and weight.

“We are well known for our ability to provide demanding customers with
powerful, highly reliable embedded computing subsystems capable of
operating in the harshest environments,” said Peter Cavill, General
Manager, Military & Aerospace Business, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms,
“and this agreement with SprayCool extends our capabilities even further,
allowing us to propose very high performance solutions that would
previously not have been possible.”

SprayCool Technology

SprayCool patented two-phase liquid cooling technology (see video) uses
a fine mist of non-corrosive, non-conductive liquid, sprayed in a thin
layer, which evaporates and cools electronics. The process continuously
cycles within a sealed, closed loop system. In doing so, SprayCool products
isolate the electronics from dirty, corrosive environments found in
military and industrial applications resulting in cooler, higher
performance, and more durable electronic devices. The technology provides
an efficiently controlled and isolated environment for a broad mix of
electronics in a package that is significantly smaller, lighter, and more
power and cost efficient, and faster to deploy by the integrator.
