Introduction Since the development of the first electronic computers in the 1940s, thedevelopment of faster and denser circuit technologies and packages has beenaccompanied by increasing heat fluxes at the chip and package levels. Over theyears,…read more
How to evaluate fan life
May 1st, 1996
Convection air cooling is still the most commonly used method of coolingmicroelectronics. In order to deliver air cooled computer equipment with higherreliability, we need to focus on the life expectancy of the air moving devices(AMDs).…read more
Minimizing acoustical noise in electronic systems
May 1st, 1996
Introduction Air-moving devices (AMDs), such as fans and blowers used for cooling inelectronic systems invariably generate acoustical noise which must be consideredif people are exposed to the emitted noise. In this article, we discussquantitative measures…read more
