3D Printed
Integrated HP Radiator
EW JET's integrated heat pipe radiators use 3D-printed aluminum-ammonia heat pipes embedded directly into the radiator structure. Available in 2-bore, 3-bore, and 4-bore configurations with 8mm or 17mm core diameters, allowing precise matching of heat transport capacity to mission heat rejection requirements.
Technology
3D-Printed Heat Pipe Integration
Aluminum-ammonia heat pipes are 3D-printed directly into the radiator body — no bonding, no interface resistance, fully monolithic panel construction.
Bore & Core Selection
Choose 2, 3, or 4 bore configurations combined with 8mm or 17mm core diameters to precisely match heat transport capacity to mission heat rejection requirements.
Heat Spreading Uniformity
Multiple bores running the full length of the panel ensure uniform temperature distribution across the radiating surface, preventing local hot spots.
NH₃ Sealed System
Ammonia working fluid provides high latent heat capacity across the operational temperature range — sealed at manufacture, maintenance-free for mission life.
Applications
GEO Communication Satellites
Long-duration missions with steady payload heat loads. Heat pipe panels provide reliable, maintenance-free rejection for 15+ year lifetimes.
LEO / SAR Payloads
Rapid orbital thermal cycling and pulsed high-power SAR operation — heat pipe integration handles transient and steady-state loads.
CubeSat & SmallSat
1U–3U honeycomb panels serve as both structural face sheets and thermal radiators — eliminating dedicated radiator mass from the satellite bus.
Bore Configurations
Select the number of bores to match your heat rejection capacity requirement.
Compact two-bore configuration for moderate heat loads.
Balanced three-bore layout for medium spacecraft payloads.
High-capacity four-bore design for demanding heat rejection requirements.
Core Diameter Options
Each bore configuration is available in 8mm or 17mm core diameter.
Smaller profile core — ideal for volume-constrained designs and micro/nanosatellites.
Larger core diameter for higher conductance and greater ammonia charge volume.
