Cooling Assemblies: Cooling modules from Miba

Cooling module design, prototyping and transition to series production

Miba cooling assemblies are pre-assembled modules designed for reliable heat dissipation from high-power resistors.

They combine Miba heat sinks, thermal interfaces, and Miba power resistors into a fully integrated system.

Miba supports you from requirements definition through to series production.

Faster integration

Pre-assembled modules are tested and delivered ready for installation. Miba designs the system specifically to your requirements. There is no need for customers to assemble the individual components themselves.

From design to series

You will receive a comprehensive solution ranging from prototyping through validation to industrialization, including defined processes and test procedures to ensure suitability for mass production.

Risk and complexity reduction

Having a single point of contact for cooling and resistance reduces the number of suppliers, minimizes coordination efforts and clarifies responsibilities.

A few good reasons to choose a cooling assembly

Miba cooling assemblies may be the right choice for you if any of the following apply to your application:

High-power resistors generate power dissipation that limits your system thermally

In-house assembly processes take time and tie up valuable resources

Long iteration cycles in the supply chain are delaying the transition to mass production

Are you looking for a single point of contact for cooling and heating solutions?

Here's how your cooling assembly is made

1. Selection

Miba can help you select the right high-power resistor and the appropriate cooling method: air-cooled, liquid-cooled, or two-phase (heat pipe).

2. Assembly

The resistor and heat sink are manufactured in-house at Miba and assembled into a single unit. There is no need for external interfaces or additional coordination efforts.

3. Final inspection

The finished assembly is thoroughly inspected prior to shipment. You will receive a validated, turnkey solution.

Cooling Assembly Type: Power Resistor Heat Sinks

Power resistor heat sinks are cooling plates and heat sinks onto which high-power resistors are mounted. They reliably dissipate heat and keep components and the surrounding environment within a defined temperature range.

Cooling assemblies in practice

For a customer in the wind industry, switching to an integrated cooling module for high-power resistors from Miba has significantly reduced assembly complexity.

The result:

There was no longer a need for our own assembly line.

The process has become more stable and transparent.

Positive effects on quality and scrap rate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Miba cooling assemblies

For which development phases and project types is this collaboration suitable?

We offer flexible support:

Build-to-Print: If you already know exactly what cooling system you need, have a complete drawing with specifications, and are looking for a partner capable of reliably manufacturing even large quantities.
Build-to-Spec: If you have defined basic requirements and are looking for a reliable solution in small to large quantities that “simply works.”

What cooling technologies does Miba use in these modules?

Miba covers the entire spectrum of thermal management and works with you to select the optimal technology:

Liquid cooling: Use of vacuum-brazed cold plates for maximum heat dissipation and uniform temperature distribution. Particularly suitable for high-performance applications in the energy and industrial sectors.

Air cooling: Traditional heat sink solutions with fins for heat dissipation into the ambient air. Maintenance-free and ideal for rugged, simple applications without a fluid circuit.

Two-phase cooling: Use of heat pipes or vacuum chambers to exploit phase change (evaporation/condensation). Enables very rapid and efficient heat distribution in compact, liquid-free systems, largely independent of orientation.

We are under significant time pressure on this project. How does Miba help us achieve a fast time-to-market?

Miba accelerates industrialization through an optimized, robust, and integrated supply chain. By combining cooling and resistance solutions from a single source, we eliminate interfaces.

You benefit from fast, reliable responses to RFQs and consistent lead times, from prototyping through to series production.

How is the quality and reliability of the pre-assembled modules ensured?

All assemblies are fully tested and validated prior to shipment.

Miba’s in-house manufacturing process includes defined quality and testing procedures, including:

Leak tests
Tolerance compliance
Assembly tests
Surface and finish inspections

Additional questions (for analyzing your use case)

To help you determine which cooling module design is suitable for your project, consider the following questions:

Are you focused on manufacturing based on existing drawings (build-to-print), or do you need our expertise for the design phase (build-to-spec)?
What are your clearly defined basic requirements regarding installation space, thermal performance, and weight?
Do you prefer air-cooled, two-phase or liquid-cooled systems?
Are there specific requirements regarding media or corrosion resistance that must be considered when selecting materials (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel, copper)?
What production volumes are you planning, from prototype to series production?
