What is vapor chamber?

A vapor chamber is an advanced planar heat transfer device that works similarly to a heat pipe but diffuses heat efficiently in a two-dimensional plane. It consists of a flat, closed chamber containing a small amount of working fluid and capillaries. When heat is applied to any point of the vapor chamber, the working fluid at that point quickly evaporates and absorbs heat, and the vapor quickly diffuses throughout the surface within the chamber and condenses and releases heat in the colder area. The condensed liquid flows back to the heat source through the internal capillary structure, completing a continuous phase change cycle.
The effective thermal conductivity of vapor chambers is much higher than that of traditional metal materials, especially in handling high heat flux density heat sources and achieving surface temperature uniformity. Due to their ultra-thin, efficient, and ability to customize complex shapes, vapor chambers are widely used in high-performance computing, smartphones, gaming graphics cards, high-power LEDs, and other fields where heat dissipation space is extremely limited but requires extremely high heat dissipation performance and temperature uniformity. It can effectively reduce local hot spot temperatures, improving equipment performance and reliability.

Advantages and features of Winshare vapor chamber products

Ultimate 2D heat diffusion capability

The vapor chamber can quickly and uniformly diffuse the huge heat generated by local hot spots such as chips on the entire plane with a very low temperature difference, effectively solving the bottleneck of high heat flux density heat dissipation.

Ultra-slim design to fit into compact spaces

With its unique flat structure and advanced manufacturing process, vapor chambers can achieve ultra-thin thicknesses as low as 0.3mm, perfectly fitting smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other devices with strict space constraints.

Significantly improve equipment performance and reliability

Through efficient temperature equalization, it effectively reduces the junction temperature and hot spot temperature of the chip, thereby extending the life of electronic components and improving the stability and overall performance of equipment operation.

Highly customized shapes and functions

The vapor chamber can be customized according to the specific heat source size, power distribution, and internal structure of the device, such as arbitrary shapes, openings, and bends, to achieve seamless integration with the heat dissipation module.

Passive and maintenance-free

Vapor chambers require no external power or moving parts, rely on internal phase change cycles to work passively, with high reliability, no noise, no vibration, and virtually no maintenance.

Suitable for high heat flux density scenarios

It is especially suitable for scenarios where high concentrated heat needs to be quickly diffused over a larger area for heat dissipation, such as high-performance CPUs/GPUs, IGBT modules, and high-power LED arrays.

Vapor Chamber Working Principle

The core technical principle of the vapor chamber is in the same vein as the heat pipe, but its design is more focused on efficient heat diffusion and temperature equalization in a two-dimensional plane. The entire phase change heat transfer cycle takes place in a flat vacuum chamber
Bonded-fin-heat-sink4_03
Evaporation
When a heat source (such as a high-power chip) touches the evaporation area of the vapor chamber, the working fluid (such as water) inside quickly absorbs heat and evaporates to form steam.
 
Vapor Spreading
The resulting vapor spreads rapidly within the chamber with a very low pressure difference, covering the entire interior of the vapor chamber and reaching the colder condensation area.
 
Condensation
The vapor touches the colder plate wall in the condensation area, transferring latent heat to an external radiator or cooling medium, and condensation returns to a liquid state.
 
Liquid Return
The condensed liquid passes through the wick structure inside the vapor chamber and uses capillary force to evenly flow back to the evaporation area, completing a closed two-dimensional cycle.
 
This rapid and continuous two-dimensional phase change cycle enables the vapor chamber to quickly and evenly diffuse the heat generated by local hot spots to the entire heat dissipation surface, thereby effectively reducing the hot spot temperature and improving heat dissipation efficiency and system stability.

What are the components of Winshare vapor chambers?

Vapor chambers may seem simple in structure, but their efficient operation relies on the precise design and synergy of the various components inside. Winshare vapor chambers are mainly composed of the following core components
Casing
Material: Typically made of copper (Copper) for its excellent thermal conductivity and good compatibility with hydraulic fluids. For specific applications, Stainless Steel (highly corrosion-resistant) or Aluminum Alloy (lightweight, with special inner wall treatment) are also available. Function: Forms a closed vacuum chamber that houses the working fluid and capillary structure and serves as an interface for heat input and output.Wick Structure
 
Dissimilar materials FSW potential
Types: Sintered (copper/nickel powder sintering), Multi-layered mesh (precision copper mesh pressing) and Composite. Function: The return of the condensed liquid from the condensation zone to the evaporation zone by capillary force is the key to the passive operation of the vapor chamber. Its porosity and structure determine the capillary pumping capacity and heat transfer limit of the vapor chamber.
 
Support Pillars
Function: Provides mechanical support between the upper and lower shells of the vapor chamber to prevent the shell from collapsing under the action of vacuum extraction and external pressure. At the same time, they also help maintain the space of the internal steam channel, ensuring the free flow of steam. Design: The distribution and density of the support columns have an impact on the overall structural strength and thermal properties of the vapor chamber. Working fluid: Efficiently transfers heat through latent heat through phase change during evaporation and condensation, and is the core medium for heat transfer of vapor chambers.
 
Working Fluid
Type: Selected according to the operating temperature range of vapor chambers, the most commonly used is Water (for 30°C to 200°C), in addition to Methanol (for low temperature environments) and Acetone (for low to medium temperatures). Function: Efficiently transfers heat through latent heat of phase change during evaporation and condensation, and is the core medium for heat transfer of vapor chambers.
 
Evacuation and Sealing
Function: Before charging the working fluid, the inside of the vapor chamber must be thoroughly evacuated to remove all non-condensable gases to ensure the pure phase change of the working fluid. This is followed by a permanent seal to prevent leakage of working fluid and the ingress of external gases. Important: Vacuum and tightness are key guarantees for the long-term reliability and performance of vapor chambers.

Winshare vapor chambers: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Q What is the fundamental difference between vapor chamber and heat pipe?

    A Common types include microchannels, needle fins, and high-density fins. Microchannels provide extremely high heat transfer area and efficiency for ultra-high heat flux densities with relatively large pressure drops. The needle fin structure can effectively disturb the fluid, taking into account both heat transfer and pressure drop. The high-density fins improve heat transfer by increasing the surface area, and the design is flexible. Winshare will recommend the most suitable runner structure based on your specific application needs, combined with thermal simulation and fluid dynamics analysis, to achieve optimal heat dissipation and system performance.
  • Q What is the thickness limit of vapor chamber?

    A The material of a water block directly impacts its thermal conductivity, weight, cost, and compatibility with coolant. Copper, with its exceptional thermal conductivity (approximately 400 W/m·K), is the material of choice for high-performance water blocks but comes at a higher cost and is relatively heavy. Aluminum alloys (approx. 200 W/m·K) are lightweight and cost-effective for applications where weight and cost are critical. Choosing the right material also involves considering chemical compatibility with the coolant to prevent long-term corrosion or degradation in performance. Winshare will provide professional material selection advice.
  • Q What are the types of capillaries inside vapor chambers?

    A Pressure drop refers to the pressure lost by the coolant as it flows through the internal flow channel of the water block. Excessive pressure drop can increase the load on the pump, leading to increased system power consumption, shortened pump life, and even affected coolant flow, thereby reducing overall heat dissipation efficiency. Winshare will comprehensively consider the balance between heat dissipation performance and pressure drop when designing water blocks, striving to meet heat dissipation needs while maintaining a low system pressure drop, and optimizing the energy efficiency and reliability of liquid cooling systems.
  • Q How do vapor chambers improve the reliability of electronic devices?

    A The vapor chamber effectively reduces the maximum operating temperature and temperature gradient of the chip by quickly and evenly spreading the heat generated by local hot spots like the chip to a larger heat dissipation area. This reduces thermal stress and delays the aging of components, thereby significantly improving the long-term stability and reliability of electronic devices.
