I found 22 Jetson- and IGX-based products listed as conduction-cooled, plus 3 more listed as cold-plate cooled. With conduction cooling, heat leaves through a cold wall or the chassis. That means your sealed enclosure still has to give the unit a solid heat path, such as a cold wall, a mounting plate or the enclosure wall itself, even with no airflow.

GEODE-OSB is the only one described as sealed. For the four Neousys units, the temperature ranges apply only when the unit is attached to an external conduction surface.

Cold-plate cooled products
- A230 - Vortex (Aitech): Jetson AGX Orin Industrial, rated IP66, minimum -40 °C. Its maximum operating temperature is not listed in the catalog. Its description calls it conduction-cooled, but the catalog lists its cooling as cold plate. aitechsyst...aitechsystems.com ↗“MIL-grade defense/autonomous, conduction-cooled”
- S-A2300 (Aitech): a radiation-tolerant space computer on Jetson AGX Orin Industrial. Its operating temperature range is not listed in the catalog. aitechsyst...aitechsystems.com ↗“cold-plate cooling”
- Z-EDGE InfinyX X1: a Jetson Thor desktop workstation that uses liquid cooling, rated 0 to 45 °C. It probably isn't meant for a sealed rugged enclosure. z-edge.comz-edge.com ↗“uses silent liquid cooling”
Limits of this list
- The list may be incomplete. Many partner products have no cooling method listed in the catalog, so there may be other conduction-cooled systems.
- Fanless doesn't mean conduction-cooled. Many products are listed as fanless. I couldn't confirm that any of them can run in a sealed enclosure with no airflow, so I left them out.
