Morgan Technical Ceramics is providing ceramic components for three water cooling pumps that will be used in hybrid and electric vehicles to cool the high energy battery, the cabin heater and the power electronics loop that drives the vehicle. Ceramic gives high quality performance in harsh environments where aggressive glycol coolants are used. This makes it ideal for the … [Read more...]
Micro Porous Ceramic Heat Sinks Enhance Heat Dissipation
AMEC Thermasol has introduced a new range of Micro Porous Ceramic Heat Sinks (MPCHS). Due to the open irregular structure of the Micro Porous Ceramic, the heat sinks provide a greater surface area to contact with the air compared to metal. Due to this structure, the heat sinks have excellent heat dissipation and heat convection properties. The MPCHS dissipates heat faster than … [Read more...]
Technical Data Summary
ElectronicsCooling magazine has been providing a technical data column since 1997 with the intent of providing you, the readers, with pertinent material properties for use in thermal analyses. We have largely covered the most common materials and their associated thermal properties used in electronics packaging and as a result, this column will evolve into additional topics. … [Read more...]
Glass: A Group Of Familiar Materials With Varying Properties
The knowledge to manufacture glass products is already 4500 - 5000 years old, and glass in its different compounds is one of the most commonly used man-made materials. The material technical definition of glass is loose, but, typically, inorganic products manufactured by fusing and then solidifying without crystallizing can be categorized as glasses. In the electronics industry … [Read more...]
The Thermal Conductivity of Thermal Insulators
This issue, we present an overview of a number of materials that are often used as thermal insulators. The world would have been much easier for thermal engineers if only the creator had provided us with a choice of materials showing the same range in thermal conductivity values as exists for electrical conductivity. Alas, this isn't the case. Thus, not a single one of the … [Read more...]
