Fractal Heatsink Technologies LLC, an R&D company focusing on developing innovative fractal heatsink technologies, was recently awarded U.S. Patent No. 9,228,785 – Fractal Heat Transfer Device (the “’785 Patent”).
The ’785 Patent broadly covers a heat exchange device with fractal geometry. Fractal geometry improves heat transfer efficiency and allows for reduced noise levels, space and materials to construct a heatsink.
As recent advances in 3D printing technology allow for practical mass production of heatsinks with various fractal geometries, the patented technology is highly relevant to a new generation of electronic devices, cooling, hyper efficient heating, energy generation devices, etc.
“Fractal geometry is the most efficient design for a heatsink,” said Dr. Alexander Poltorak, the inventor and CEO of Fractal Heatsink Technologies LLC. “I am delighted to have been awarded the first patent on a fractal heat exchanger.”
The Patent
U.S. Patent No. 9,228,785 titled “Fractal Heat Transfer Device” covers a heatsink comprising of a heat exchange device having a group of heat exchange elements, each having a surface boundary with respect to a heat transfer fluid, and therefore a fractal variation inbetween. The heat transfer fluid is induced to flow in respect to the group of constantly varying heat exchange elements. Flow-induced vortices are generated at non-corresponding locations of the group of constantly varying heat exchange elements, resulting in a reduction of sound as compared to a corresponding heat exchange device with a group of heat exchange elements that produce flow-induced vortices at corresponding locations on the group of heat exchange elements.
The Patent was issued January 5, 2016 and has a May 4, 2010 priority date.
