Thermal Management of Outdoor Enclosures, Part 5A: Passive PCM Cooling Systems
In Part 1 (Thermal Management of Outdoor Enclosures), key aspects for successful design and development of thermal management systems were covered briefly, among these, cooling device selections and its impact on power, battery back-up and maintenance has therefore become of paramount importance for telecommunications enclosures. These are: Full active systems, like air … [Read more...]
Review of FLIR’s FLIRONE PRO IR Camera
While most of my clients are most interested in EMI mitigation, a few wonder aloud about certain IC temperatures. For that reason, I carry a small IR thermometer in my troubleshooting kit. However, when FLIR announced the FLIRONE PRO module that attaches to iPhones, I was hooked and had to purchase one. The FLIRONE PRO includes a dual camera – one for infrared capture and … [Read more...]
Metal Foam Heat Exchangers
Reticulated Metal Foams (RMF) are cost-effective and ultra-high-performance thermal management materials that can be integrated with electronic devices and modules. RMFs are compatible with DI water, inert fluoro-carbons, jet fuel, and inert gases. STRUCTURE OF RMF There are quite a few ways to fabricate RMF [1], however the investment casting method of … [Read more...]
