Cooling the DARPA Space Surveillance Telescope (SST)
by MP Divakar, PhD, Stack Design Automation Technical Editor, Electronics Cooling With many nations joining the race of sending satellites out to space, the number of orbiting space debris is increasing year after year. This NASA portal estimates the number of space junk as over 500,000 orbiting earth at speeds of 17,500mph or higher. Most of the half-million plus objects … [Read more...]
Electronics Cooling of Humans!
by MP Divakar, PhD, Stack Design Automation Technical Editor, Electronics Cooling Online Earlier in August of this year, Electronics Cooling featured an article on energy efficiency of data centers where a review of the energy consumed by the IT and non-IT equipment and its optimization by deterministic (DCIM) and AI methods (Google’s Deepmind) was presented. The … [Read more...]
A Simple Method to Understand Trade-Offs in Data Center Cooling
Cooling and thermal management are critical to data center reliability. Many organizations see cooling as a differentiating factor in the lifecycle cost of their data center. Recent industry guidelines [1] for data center cooling have suggested energy savings in air-cooled data centers by increasing the temperature of the cooling air. This increase enables two trends: reduced … [Read more...]
