SprayCool® enclosures are designed to provide a conditioned and controlled environment
for COTS electronics under the most difficult use cases in the most compact, lightest
weight package. Whether it is at -65C and 70,000 feet above sea level or +65C at
sea level, SprayCool products allow commercial grade electronics to operate within
OEM specifications. Where rigid constraints for size, weight and power exist, and
performance cannot be sacrificed even under the most challenging environments then
SprayCool enclosures are the superior product on the market today.
The flexibility of using any of today’s electronics be they commercial grade, proprietary
or rugged in the same enclosure without redesign or re-qualification offers tremendous
cost and time savings to our customers. The ability to cool tomorrow’s electronics
with the same enclosure over multiple technology refresh cycles provides a low risk
future for increasing capability requirements. Combined with reduced system cost
due to lower priced commercial grade electronics, the total cost of ownership for
SprayCool is much less over the platform life.

Overview
The revolutionary Multi-platform enclosure (MPE) is a baseline configurable enclosure,
and the result of SprayCool’s extensive experience in the development and deployment
of custom enclosure solutions in the military. Targeted for use in a variety of
mission critical military applications, the MPE chassis employs the company’s patent
two-phase cooling technology (SprayCool®). The product has already been selected
by prime integrators Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman for DoD programs involving
radar and image processing electronic warfare applications, and is being considered
for a number of other airborne and land-based applications.
The MPE was developed to be easily scalable to vehicle needs minimizing size and
weight, and is available in 4-21 slots. It supports 6U x 160mm electronics board
form factors and typically houses commercial grade VME-64X,VPX, VXS, cPCI or CPCI(EXP.0) boards. With SprayCool technology, high performance electronics can safely
operate at extended ambient temperatures while exposed to extreme environments.
Remote heat exchange options include PAO, fuel, engine bleed air, EGW and air-to-air.
Custom Enclosures
Using standard building blocks SprayCool enclosures can be configured to meet customer
requirements. Past enclosure designs have been tested to meet the most severe military
standards including vibration, EMI, sand, dust, salt fog, salt water emersion, altitude,
temperature, acceleration, shock, ballistic shock, catapult launch, and underwater
mine blast. Several designs included nuclear, biological and chemical analysis and
testing. Ultimately, the best test of product reliability and durability occurs
in theatre. With over 75,000 hours of runtime in harsh deployed environments, SprayCool
enclosures have proven longevity year after year.
