The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is planning to implement a liquid cooling systems into one of its major data centers. Developed by liquid cooling solutions company Asetek Inc., the direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology employs hot water and ambient air to cool servers. “Hot water direct-to-chip liquid-cooling is a powerful approach that can capture more than 80 percent … [Read more...]
Ultrathin “Nanoglue” Increases Heat Transfer Rate Across Metal-Ceramic Interface
Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in New York have developed a new method for increasing the heat transfer rate across two different materials. The team hopes that the study, titled “Bonding-Induced Thermal Conductance Enhancement at Inorganic Heterointerfaces Using Nanomolecular Monolayers,” will lead to new advances in cooling computer chips and LED … [Read more...]

Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Not Always Efficient
Reducing the power required to cool electronics has significant cost advantages and quantifying the potential improvements of one technology over another is a frequent theme in current electronics cooling literature. Developing life cycle cost models and assessing the current and projected future cost benefits of different thermal management technologies is a worthwhile … [Read more...]
Application of Transient Thermal Methods to Moisture Diffusion Calculations, Part I
Bruce Guenin, Assoc. Editor, Electronics Cooling View Part 2 here. Introduction Many of the components currently used in electronics systems employ organic materials. Under certain circumstances, the diffusion of moisture into electronic components can lead to problems in the electrical performance and overall reliability of these components. Examples are the increase in … [Read more...]
