Electronics need cooling for precise measurement results
EKL heat sinks for testing technology
Precision in science and technology thanks to electronic measuring and analysing devices
Electronic measuring devices and analysers play a key role in medical laboratories, industrial production and research. The precision and reliability of their data determines the quality of test procedures, diagnoses and products.
In medical laboratories, analysers are used, for example, to analyse blood, monitor bodily functions or diagnose diseases. In industry, they help with quality assurance by checking compliance with specifications or predicting material fatigue. Research institutions use them to carry out precise measurements in experiments and collect data for scientific analyses. Modern measuring devices such as thermal imaging cameras and laser scanning provide new insights into thermographic and geographical conditions.

Efficient thermal management solutions from EKL for your precision electronics
The electronic components for which EKL offers application-specific high-performance heat sinks include power semiconductors such as transistors and diodes, which are used in power electronics. Sensor elements such as detectors, laser diode drivers and photodetectors only deliver the exact results required at the optimum operating temperature. These components can develop high temperatures during operation, which affects their measurement accuracy, performance and service life. Microprocessors, which process the measurement data in computers and other digital devices, also generate power losses and require effective cooling to prevent overheating.
Your heat sink manufacturer for electronic components in measuring and analysing devices
EKL has been developing and producing customised cooling technologies such as heat sinks, fan systems and liquid coolers since 29 years ago. Various factors are taken into account in our cooling concept, such as the amount of heat generated, the available space and the specific requirements of the component or system - but also your desired price. Passive cooling methods, such as finned heat sinks, are often sufficient for components with low heat generation. At higher temperatures or in more compact designs, active cooling - for example using fans - or more powerful cooling methods using heat pipes, vapour chambers or liquid coolers may be required.

Typical applications for EKL heat sinks in measuring devices and analysers
In electronics, the heat generated by current-carrying components is an unavoidable and usually annoying side effect. As a product manager and development engineer of electronic systems, free yourself from the risk of overheating and expensive development loops by placing the thermal management of your device in the hands of EKL! We see ourselves as a partner in your development, pursuing the same goals as you: to manufacture a reliable, high-quality and durable product at competitive prices.
Cooling sensor assemblies and sensor systems
Modern technologies must record and process relevant environmental parameters. Sensors are used in a wide range of areas, from medical technology to aerospace. They are designed to detect specific parameters that are critical for the respective application. The development of such systems involves the integration of sensor components with optimised properties and networking by means of microsystem integration. With regard to cooling, components such as temperature sensors in particular must be protected from the heat generated by other electronic components. They react sensitively to external interference, which is why precise temperature control is crucial for their flawless functionality.
Cooling measuring modules
In quality assurance, measuring assemblies check a variety of measured variables, such as pressure, temperature or distances, and draw conclusions from the test data obtained. Components to be cooled in measurement assemblies usually include electronic components such as LEDs, processors, SMD components and power converters. They sometimes generate considerable heat loss during operation. To prevent overheating, the heat must be dissipated quickly via heat sinks to ensure optimum operating temperatures in the device. If the device gets too hot, the measurement data and the overall service life of the product will suffer.
Cooling laboratory equipment
Precisely functioning laboratory devices are indispensable for diagnostics and research in medicine. Centrifuges for separating different densities and thermal cyclers for DNA replication using PCR are frequently used. EKL offers specialised cooling solutions for electronic components in laboratory devices that generate a lot of heat loss, such as powerful processors in analytical devices. With an extensive range of heat sinks, fans, heat pipes and liquid coolers, EKL offers the ideal cooling solution for your laboratory equipment to guarantee optimum operating temperatures and a long service life.
Cooling thermal imaging cameras
Thermographic cameras visualise thermal energy in the form of infrared radiation and can therefore display temperature distributions on surfaces. They are used in a variety of applications, including firefighting, research and science, as well as in personnel searches or building inspections to identify heat patterns and losses. Infrared detectors are one of many components that require cooling to increase the thermal sensitivity of the camera and produce a clear image.
Cooling LiDAR sensors for land surveying with lasers
"Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors are sophisticated remote sensing systems that use lasers to accurately measure distance and movement. They are used in a variety of areas, from the creation of topographical maps to the navigation of autonomous vehicles. The main components of a LiDAR system include a laser scanner, a sensor to capture the reflected light pulses and a processor to calculate time and distance. To function accurately, these components must be cooled, especially the lasers, to ensure maximum resolution in the optimum temperature range.
