Mikros designs and builds high efficiency liquid-cooling systems for high-power microprocessors and high-precision micro-machined nozzle plates.
Born out of a NASA cooling project, Mikros' patented micro-channel cold plates (or heat sinks) provide industry-leading low thermal resistance and pressure drop, giving electronics designers a greater thermal budget to improve the performance, packaging, and lifetime of their systems. For more than an decade, Mikros has designed systems that dissipate more than 1kW/cm2 of heat from high heat flux systems. Mikros also develops micro-EDM nozzle plates for microfluidics applications requiring micron-level dimensions and sub-micron accuracy. Mikros has supplied over 100 million micro-nozzles and nozzle plates in industrial inkjet and medical applications for over 25 years.
Mikros was founded in 1991 by Dr. Javier Valenzuela, a principal thermodynamics engineer at Creare, Inc, after a successful project with NASA to cool Space Station Freedom yielded the high performing technologies that drive the innovation of the company today. We continue to design thermal management technologies that help empower the fast-evolving computing needs in our increasingly smart and connected world.
