A team of researchers from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore has developed a thermal invisibility cloak that would improve heat distribution in electronic devices by redirecting incoming heat. The cloaks are capable of guiding heat around a hidden object, thus resulting in complete thermal invisibility. “Based on carefully engineered metamaterials – … [Read more...]
Two Phase Cooling System for Data Centers
Ebullient introduces a two phase cooling system for data centers - the Ebullient Cooling System (ECS). It can cool up to 12 heat sources in series in a continuous loop while maintaining a device temperature of +/-2 degrees Celsius. It also offers flexible tubing which allows the system to adapt to hardware without modification. The cooling system “is composed of Ebullient’s ES … [Read more...]
Comparison of HPC and Telecom Data Center Cooling Methods by Operating and Capital Expense
By: Dr. Alexander Yatskov; Thermal Form & Function Inc. Introduction Current high-performance computing (HPC) and Telecom trends have shown that the number of transistors per chip has continued to grow in recent years, and data center cabinets have already surpassed 30 kW per cabinet (or 40.4 kW/m2) [1]. It is not an unreasonable assumption to expect that, in accordance … [Read more...]
Three-Phase Thermoelectric Air Conditioners for Enclosure Cooling
Thermolectric cooling supplier TECA has announced new three-phase thermoelectric air conditioners. Offering high performance and efficiency, the new maintenance-free air conditioners do not require filters, coolant or chemicals of any kind. Each has a built-in temperature controller equipped with Eco-Mode, an energy-saving temperature control feature that turns the air … [Read more...]
Filter Fans Provide Effective Cooling for Electrical and Electronic Enclosures
EIC Solutions, Inc., a manufacturer of thermoelectric air conditioners, electronic enclosures and transit cases, has introduced a new line of filter fans designed to remove unwanted heat from electrical/electronic enclosures and cabinets. The VFF series filter fans cool enclosures to a level slightly above the ambient temperature outside the cabinet by drawing filtered ambient … [Read more...]
