INTRODUCTION In terrestrial or air-borne electrical and electronic systems, cooling requirements can be unsteady due to spikes in heat load, or changes in ambient conditions. Such an event results in a sharp rise in system temperature or temperature cycling thus possibly reducing the system reliability. In the electrical domain, fluctuations in voltage are managed by using … [Read more...]
Thermal Management of GPU-Enabled Servers in Data Centers
Since the introduction of CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture, an acronym that is no longer in practice) in 2007, hundreds of millions of computers with CUDA parallel architecture-capable GPUs, or graphics processing units, have been shipped. If you have a gaming desktop, laptop with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card or Nvidia Shield, you are most likely familiar with … [Read more...]
Low Cost Plastic Films Lower Exposed Surface Temperatures by 10°C
Low-emissivity (Low-E) films are not new –they represent a mature technology in which a metal-oxide coated surface emits low levels of radiant thermal energy. Low-E films are widely used on window glasses in energy-efficient buildings. Low-E materials include metals like Aluminum foil which has a thermal emissivity /absorptance of 0.03 which means that it reflects 97 percent of … [Read more...]
Case Study: Thermal Design and Analysis of a Combat-Ready Electronics Unit
INTRODUCTION Militaries continue to expand their use of electronics in harsh environments while preserving an absolute minimal risk of failure. In this regard, effort spent early in the design process on concept development, parametric and trade-off studies, and simulation-driven design can yield amplified benefits in terms of product performance and reliability, reduced … [Read more...]
Thermal Management – Enabled Products at CES 2017
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) which concluded earlier this month is the largest annual conference and expo for anything or everything in electronics in the continental USA. By some estimates, CES 2017 exceeded the previous year record, topping 177K+ attendees. In such a large conference, enabling technologies like thermal management often take a backseat to the … [Read more...]
