Abstract As we entered the current century, consumer electronics were primarily cooled using aluminum. Over the last 15 years, flexible graphite heat spreaders have largely replaced aluminum for thermal management in many advanced consumer electronics devices where properties of being thin or lightweight are desired. There are two types of flexible graphite, natural and … [Read more...]
Heat Spreader Efficiency Improvements by Addition of Latent Heat Solution Materials
Introduction Electronics thermal management has become an increasingly important design focus as devices have become more constrained, more powerful, more expensive and more ubiquitous. To manage temperatures, particularly in mobile devices, thermal engineers typically use higher thermal conductivity components and materials. Electrical engineers strive to spatially … [Read more...]
New Cooling Plate Said to Dramatically Increase the Lifetime of High Temperature Electronics
Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials is first to develop a TGP that operates in any direction, improving cooling efficiency by modifying the surface of a porous structure. During the past decade, developments in semiconductor industries have allowed electronics such as sensors and actuators to be miniaturized so as to perform effectively in a limited space. As a … [Read more...]
New Active Rear Door Heat Exchanger for Data Center Cooling from Nortek
Smaller footprint cuts real estate and installation costs. Nortek Air Solutions has added the ADHX 35-6B, a 35kW Active Rear Door Heat Exchanger (ADHX), to its ServerCool data center liquid cooling product line. The ADHX 35-6B features upgrades in redundancy, user-friendliness, durability, and energy efficiency; but without sacrificing the previous ADHX generation’s … [Read more...]
Thermoelectric Cooling Offers Precise Temperature Control for Incubators
The SuperCool Series offers an air-to-air assembly air conditioner, a direct-to-air heat pump, and a liquid-to-air liquid cooler. Incubators are used for cell and tissue cultivation in hospital and laboratory settings. Accurate and precise control of temperature is important for cell growth, as excursions above or below the optimum mammalian body temperature of 37°C, by as … [Read more...]
