As the complexity and power density of electronics systems increase, so too does the demand for tools to improve both product quality and designer productivity. This is especially true for thermal designers who use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools for thermal designs. Several important factors are driving this trend: System complexity has increased to the point that … [Read more...]
An introduction to thermoelectric coolers
Figure 1: Cross Section of a Typical TECouple Introduction Thermoelectric coolers are solid state heat pumps used in applications wheretemperature stabilization, temperature cycling, or cooling below ambient arerequired. There are many products using thermoelectric coolers, including CCDcameras (charge coupled device), laser diodes, microprocessors, blood analyzersand portable … [Read more...]
Direct liquid immersion cooling for high power density microelectronics
Introduction Since the development of the first electronic computers in the 1940s, thedevelopment of faster and denser circuit technologies and packages has beenaccompanied by increasing heat fluxes at the chip and package levels. Over theyears, significant advances have been made in the application of air coolingtechniques to manage increased heat fluxes. Although air cooling … [Read more...]
Thermoelectric thermal regulation systems
Thermoelectric temperature control systems are being used in an increasingnumber of applications. Typical applications of these systems are in thermalregulation of electronic enclosures, recirculating chillers for laser cooling,semiconductor process control and management of patient hypo- and hyperthermia. Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) are essentially solid state devices that … [Read more...]
