Conduction cooled means via heatsink without liquid or air pressure
required. There are many (metal/ceramic) tubes specifically designed for
conduction cooling and having built-in electrical isolation that is very
thermally conductive, typically BeO. -WB2WIK/6

Subject: [Amps] Meaning of "conduction cooled"
I notice that some posters are using the term "conduction cooled"
lately and I'm curious what they mean by it. Aren't all amplifiers
"conduction cooled" one way or another? Heat is conducted away by
some means, whether directly by air or liquid or indirectly to a heat
sink which is in turn cooled by air or liquid.
I'm aware of "radiation cooling" too, but I doubt many high power
amplifiers use that.
Some clarification would be appreciated.
