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 sink. To ensure good thermal conduction between the heat spreader and heatsink, a thermal interface material is applied … [Read more...]
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 conduction, convection, and radiation. The reason for looking beyond these solutions is that they seem to have reached a limit as to … [Read more...]
Air Ionization Techniques for the Cooling of Electronic Devices: Analysis of the Different Effects of Design Features on Cooling Performance
Rotary fans have been used to cool electronic devices using forced convection applications to achieve the required heat transfer dissipation. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend to miniaturize the size and maximize the efficiency of the electronic devices which, in turn, increases heat generation. The use of rotary fan cooling conflicts with these new trends due … [Read more...]

Thermal Management of Displays/Signage in Outdoor Enclosures
Introduction/Background The pace of development in the electronics and telecommunication fields has been accelerating in all aspects of the business. For example, electronics/telecommunications equipment has traditionally been housed in large buildings, smaller buildings (sheds) and outdoor cabinets. The introduction of electronics to the outdoor environment has imposed … [Read more...]
