Introduction One of the most baffling things in cooling for the novice mechanical engineer is the fact that with the exact same geometries and dimensions, thermal solutions just do not perform the same. Past results do not guarantee future performance, and doubling the surface area of a tried and tested design to double the cooling capacity, as per Newton’s cooling law, does … [Read more...]
Microcontrollers Offer Temperature Sensing Accuracy
Silicon Laboratories has introduced a new family of high-performance 8-bit microcontrollers featuring the company’s latest mixed-signal breakthrough, an integrated temperature sensor with best-in-class accuracy over an extended temperature range and without the need for calibration. It offers a mix of integrated high-performance analog peripherals and a particularly fast 8051 … [Read more...]
Cloud Computing May Solve Data Center Cooling Cost Issues
InformationWeek Reports, a service provider for peer-based IT research and analysis, recently released its “2012 State of the Data Center” report, which contains the results of its annual State of the Data Center Survey and advice on how companies can best approach the virtualization of hardware and software.

Intel, South Korean Mobile Carrier Make Temperatures Climb in Data Centers
Intel and South Korean mobile carrier KT have partnered to investigate the possibility of running data centers at a hotter temperature than normal in an effort to reduce the cost of cooling and power. Traditionally, organizations run their data centers at between 64 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit to keep servers from overheating. However, keeping the facilities running at such low … [Read more...]
