What is the Right Temperature Set Point for My Electrical Enclosure?
Cooling units are necessary for hot enclosures, but selecting the proper temperature set point for yours can mean the difference between failure and enhanced performance Electrical enclosures serve to protect electrical devices from adverse environmental influences, such as dirt, other […]
Towards Green Technology: Modeling of a Compact Plate Heat Exchanger Condenser for Thermosyphon Cooling of Entire High Power Datacenter Racks
By Raffaele Luca Amalfi, Ph.D., Jackson Braz Marcinichen, and John Richard Thome, Ph.D. CONTEXT AND NEW COOLING TECHNOLOGY Heat dissipations of servers and their racks in datacenters are reaching ever increasing levels, breaching the economical heat removal limits of traditional […]
Thermal Facts & Fairy Tales: Whatever Happened to the Predicted Data Center Energy Consumption Apocalypse?
As the title indicates, since the middle of the last decade, there have been very pessimistic projections regarding the growth of the total annual energy used by data centers in the U.S. One of them suggested that by 2030, the […]
Using Electrical Capacitance to Evaluate the Thermal Mechanical Stability of Thermal Interface Materials
BY: Lauren Boston, Andrew Yu, Timothy Chainer, Edward Yarmchuk, and Michael Gayness To improve cooling of electronic components, a heat spreader is typically attached to the component to spread the heat laterally and facilitate the heat removal by a heat […]
What…Use Lasers and LEDs for Cooling?
In a recent blog “Some New Cooling Ideas are Needed Here,” I suggested (hoped?) that someone would figure out how to leverage the thermal laws of physics to devise innovative cooling systems which go beyond widely used, conventional techniques of […]
WHAT’S NEW
To protect electronics in an industrial environment, Hammond Manufacturing has added 36 new configurations to its Industry 4.0 1554 and 1555 sealed enclosure families. Available in ABS or polycarbonate with styled, opaque, clear or smoked lids, the six new sizes […]
