In response to the serious deficiencies of traditional thermal materials, new advanced materials are continually being developed, a number of which have thermal conductivities up to 1700 W/m-K with low densities and low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs): What are the payoffs? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? How are these new advanced materials … [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...]
High Efficiency Thermoelectric Air Conditioners
TECA Corporation has introduced the AHP-4250 family of thermoelectric air conditioners. They have a cooling capacity of 3,600 BTU/HR. “Green Zone” styles have efficiencies approaching 100 percent. Both styles come standard with TECA’s eco-mode temperature control design which helps save energy by limiting the need for active cooling when it’s not needed. Like TECA’s other … [Read more...]
Thermally Conductive Compounds for Enhanced LED Luminaires
Global custom engineered thermoplastics compounder RTP Company has introduced a line of thermally conductive compounds for replacing metal heat sinks and housings in light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires. The new compounds have been specially formulated to increase the thermal management design options available for LED lighting as it expands into a broader range of end-use … [Read more...]
Ideas Sought for Better Electronics Cooling Technology for Helicopters
A helicopter corporation is sponsoring a contest, asking entrepreneurs and companies that are willing to establish a spinoff at a new innovation center in Stamford to propose technology concepts that could be used on helicopters. Chris Van Buiten, vice president of Sikorsky Innovations, gave an example of a better electronics cooling technology, which could reduce the number … [Read more...]
