Resettable Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breakers with Push-in Bridging
Phoenix Contact’s UT 6-TMC M thermal-magnetic circuit breakers protect electrical circuits from overload or short circuit damage, make wiring easier and eliminate time-consuming troubleshooting. One wire powers all the breakers, which means each circuit breaker does not have to be wired individually. With resettable circuit breakers, the push of a button gets the system up and … [Read more...]
Beer Fridge – A Case Study in Thermal Design. Part 2 – TEC Effect
Beer drinkers are notoriously quiet people and as such would not want to be disturbed by the continuous hissing and whirring of a classic compression/expansion refrigeration cycle type beer fridge. They would argue that’s why both kids and kitchens were invented. Kitchens to put the noisy fridge in, kids to go get the next beer. Electric coolers, fridges that utilise … [Read more...]
Taking the Enterprise Data Center into the Cloud: Achieving a Flexible, High-Availability Cloud Computing Infrastructure
This white paper provides a detailed overview of cloud computing technology, including a standard definition of cloud computing, common types of cloud architectures and services, and driving factors and perceived risks impacting widespread adoption. It also examines best practices for optimizing critical systems for the deployment of cloud architectures in existing facilities, … [Read more...]
Lowest Resistance, Zero Pump-Out Thermal Pad
AOS Thermal Compound’s Micro-Faze® 3 A-4 is a non-silicone thermal pad that exhibits extremely low thermal resistance. It was designed to replace phase change materials and even high performance thermal grease. The pad is composed of 1 mil films of high thermal conductivity, tacky, but dry-to-the-touch thermal grease on either side of a 2 mil aluminum foil substrate. The … [Read more...]
