About ACT (Advanced Cooling Technologies)

Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) is a US thermal management company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, specialising in passive and active heat transfer systems for space, military, and industrial applications. The company's space thermal control product portfolio includes constant conductance heat pipes, variable conductance heat pipes, space copper-water heat pipes, loop heat pipes, space VPX thermal solutions, and space liquid cooling systems, complemented by thermal and structural design analysis services. ACT serves satellite manufacturers, spacecraft integrators, and US government agencies requiring qualified, reliable thermal management hardware for onboard electronics, power systems, and payload thermal control in the space environment.

Products

14

Advanced composite structural solutions for space and aerospace applications including spacecraft bus structures, solar array substrates, booms, and support structures with maximum strength-to-weight performance.

3 4

Precision-engineered aerospace CCHPs with over 118 million space flight hours heritage, manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certified quality systems.

6 5

Alkali metal heat pipes operating from 400°C to 1,100°C using potassium, NaK, or sodium in stainless steel or Haynes envelopes for nuclear space power, solar thermal, and hypersonic applications.

3 8

Custom heat spreaders with embedded copper-water heat pipes offering effective thermal conductivities of 10,000–100,000 W/m·K, designed to collect and move heat from multiple component hotspots to card edges or remote heat sinks.

4 6

Aluminum honeycomb sandwich panels serving dual roles as spacecraft structural shells and heat rejection radiators, with embedded CCHPs, high-conductivity face sheets, and selectable emissivity coatings.

3 5

Patented Isothermal Card Edge wedge locks that reduce card-to-chassis thermal resistance by over 33% vs. standard wedge locks, VITA 48.2 compliant with spaceflight heritage for Space VPX applications.

4 8
TRL 6 · Prototype

High-capacity two-phase heat transport devices that move larger amounts of heat over longer distances than conventional heat pipes, with sintered nickel, hybrid, and 3D-printed wick options.

2 6

High-performance PCM thermal energy storage devices that absorb pulsed or duty-cycled heat loads with minimal temperature rise, for single and two-phase liquid cooling loops.

2 4

Passive wickless two-phase thermal transport devices using oscillating liquid slugs in serpentine micro-channels, offering thin profiles under 3 mm and high design flexibility for space and defense applications.

3 4

Flight-proven copper-water heat pipes for high heat flux satellite electronics cooling, capable of handling up to 50 W/cm² with first flight heritage from ISS in 2017.

4 7

Custom single-phase liquid cooling loops for spacecraft applications, integrating cold plates, accumulators, cooling lines, and heat exchangers to manage high-heat-flux electronics where passive methods are insufficient.

4 3

A dual-mode spacecraft thermal device combining VCHP and thermal diode functions in a single gas-charged aluminum-ammonia design, eliminating the separate NCG reservoir for reduced mass and cost.

1 5

Planar two-phase heat spreaders with effective thermal conductivities of 5,000–200,000 W/m·K, available in standard copper/water and advanced low-CTE aluminum nitride ceramic variants handling over 700 W/cm².

4 8

Passive spacecraft thermal control devices combining two-phase working fluid with a Non-Condensable Gas reservoir to automatically regulate evaporator temperature across wide power and sink condition ranges.
