Below is a list of Heatsink manufacturers from Rome, Georgia. A heatsink is a metallic device that absorbs thermal energy, or heat, from another object through thermal compounds, also known as thermally conductive materials. The heat is absorbed from the object, since it is at a relatively high temperature, and transferred to the heatsink, which has a much larger heat capacity. As practical thermal energy solutions for both low and high volumes, extruded heatsinks are utilized in a wide range of applications including refrigeration, heat engines, cooling medical devices, lasers and CPUs.
