Turning your lab's ideas into working experimental apparatus
Drawing on the thermal-fluid experimental apparatus design and fabrication capabilities and precision instrumentation know-how built up through our own cooling technology development, FRIGUSON designs and builds custom experimental equipment for university and corporate research labs — turning early-stage experimental concepts into apparatus that actually produces data.
Scope of Services
Custom Apparatus Design & Fabrication
We design and build thermal-fluid experimental apparatus tailored to your research goals, from Cold Plate prototypes to heat-transfer test setups.
High-Load Test System Setup
We build thin-film-heater-based test systems that let you verify cooling performance under high heat-flux conditions.
Precision Temperature & Flow Instrumentation
We configure thermocouple- and DAQ-based precision temperature measurement systems, along with flow and pressure control equipment.
Nano/Micro Surface Fabrication
We fabricate experimental prototypes using nano/micro surface manufacturing and porous structure design techniques.
Coolant Purity Management
We design coolant purification and filtration equipment to support long-term test reliability.
Proof-of-Concept Consulting
From experimental design guidance to data verification, we help design your Proof-of-Concept (PoC) process end to end.
A good fit for labs like these
We work with university labs and corporate R&D centers researching thermal-fluid engineering, energy engineering, semiconductor packaging, and electronics reliability testing — supporting everything from small graduate-research setups to pre-commercialization verification rigs for corporate research institutes.
How We Work Together
Requirements Consultation
We align on research goals, measurement targets, budget, and timeline.
Concept Design
We outline the experimental principle and apparatus structure, and finalize specifications.
Detailed Design & Fabrication
We design the structure and flow paths, select components, and build the actual apparatus.
Performance Verification
We verify the apparatus's performance and reliability through an instrumentation system.
Delivery & Technology Transfer
We deliver the apparatus along with operating know-how and guidance on interpreting the data.
