ISR Opens Office in Silicon Valley: New Facility Expected to Develop Heat-Dissipating Products

Posted on: Wednesday, 8 March 2006, 12:00 CST

By Tom Sowa, The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash.

Mar. 8--Liberty-Lake based ISR said it has opened a Silicon Valley office to develop heat-dissipating products for corporate customers.

The private company, which has 250 workers, will target businesses such as tech companies, whose data centers need ways to dissipate the heat inside buildings where thousands of processors are handling data.

ISR's SprayCool technology uses liquid evaporation to cool electronics.

The company's new "systems center" is in Mountain View, Calif. It includes a technology development and system test laboratory, a product showcase featuring demonstrations of SprayCool technology, and various sales and marketing offices.

Heading the center is Rick Lytel, managing director, and Howard Davidson, director.

"Silicon Valley is a major center for advanced technologies, which makes it the perfect location to help us address our mission of enabling the next generation of electronics," said Charles Tilton, vice president and chief technology officer for ISR.

Data centers have become costly business operations for major companies, in part because heat problems require multiple backup and redundant systems. If heating problems can be resolved, data centers can be run far more efficiently, industry experts say.

After undertaking successful contracts with government agencies, ISR launched a commercial division in 2005 to use its patented technology for corporate users.

ISR also has branch offices in Pullman, Washington, D.C. and Wichita, Kan.
