For aviation platforms, the goal is to design the most high performance and lightweight systems that exceed the required reliability standards. Military aircraft often emphasize mission capability as the key objective, while commercial aircraft emphasize Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) and overall life-cycle costs. Traditionally mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic drive … [Read more...]
Reasons to Use Two-Phase Refrigerant Cooling
Water-cooling at the rack appears to be the new short-term technological solution for server cooling in datacenters, with its advantages over traditional cold aisle/hot aisle air-cooling being clear, as can be seen in [1]. Bringing chilled water to the rack and then cooling the air inside the rack aids with the transport of energy across the datacenter, making the necessity for … [Read more...]
New Material Provides Greater Thermoelectric Conversion Efficiency
Automobiles, military vehicles, even large-scale power generating facilities may someday operate far more efficiently thanks to a new alloy developed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory. A team of researchers at the Lab that is jointly funded by the DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Division of Materials Sciences and Engineering and the Defense Advanced … [Read more...]
SEMI-THERM 27
March 20-24, San Jose, Calif. SEMI-THERM is an international forum dedicated to the thermal design and characterization of electronic components and systems. The symposium fosters the exchange of knowledge between practitioners and leading experts from industry, as well as the exchange of information on the latest academic and industrial advances in electronics thermal … [Read more...]
Cooling Fans Work Harder when Contamination Accumulates on Circuit Boards
Contamination accumulated on electronic circuit boards will cause temperatures in electronics to rise, triggering cooling fans to work harder to keep the equipment below its operating temperature limit, according to a new research paper by 8 Solutions. Untreated contamination is costing the data centre industry millions of pounds each year, the authors say. The study, which … [Read more...]
