Alpenföhn preparing new extreme cooler - K2

Alpenföhn K2 use a so called Twin-Tower design that has become more common lately to get that very little extra to stand out. K2 has no less than eight 6 mm heatpipes with nickel coating and 49 aluminum fins.

What we normally see with manufacturers when they use this many heatpipes is that they put a number of them on top, which means they don't get their full potential, but with K2 looks to get the most of its heatpipes.

not very original design, nor pricing scheme in my humble opinion. But then again, how much can you innovate in this niche sector?
