SECO/WARWICK Lands Another “CAB” Order
It sometimes appears that furnace builder “SECO/WARWICK” announces a new “CAB” (Controlled Atmosphere Brazing) order weekly. We exaggerate of course but here is another one;
“The SECO/WARWICK Group will deliver a continuous Controlled Atmosphere Brazing (CAB) line to a Chinese manufacturer specializing in thermal solutions. This is the first project carried out for this Partner. The equipment will be used to braze a variety of components, ranging from cooling plates for data centers to parts for rail transport.
The CAB line on order featuring a 1000 mm (39.2 in) belt width, will consist of several key components. The CAB (Controlled Atmosphere Brazing) line with a 1000 mm belt includes a Dry-Off Oven for moisture removal and part preparation, a Radiation Brazing Furnace that performs brazing in a controlled atmosphere, a Clean-Out Chamber designed to eliminate process residues and stabilize internal conditions, an Air-Jacketed Cooling Chamber, and a Final Cooling Chamber which cools components to a safe temperature for further processing or transport. The entire system is complemented by an integrated control and process management system. The system will be equipped with a dedicated control system
“What makes this project unique is the ability to braze two distinct product groups—3D-VC (3D vapor chambers) and cold plates—on a single line. Thanks to precisely calculated throughput and a specially tailored cooling system, the line ensures exceptional temperature uniformity and process repeatability, which is crucial for the high quality of components used in modern technologies,” said Piotr Skarbiński, Vice President of the Aluminum and CAB Products Segment at SECO/WARWICK.The 3D Vapor Chamber is a three-dimensional heat spreader based on the liquid phase change phenomenon. This component is used, for example, to cool processors in data centers. Cold plates, in turn, are efficient heat exchangers that dissipate heat from electronic components using coolant that flows through a specially designed metal plate. They are primarily used for cooling traction batteries in electric vehicles (EVs).”
