Underfloor Electric Heating. Part III – Penny wise, pound foolish.

 

It would only have cost me an extra £170, a small extra compared to the cost of the rest of the build, but I decided against laying thermal insulation boards directly under the underfloor electric heating mats. Surely better to leak some of the heat down to heat the 100mm thick concrete screed which would maintain its heat through those cold winter weeks, giving thermal support … [Read more...]

Editorial: Thoughts Some People May Enjoy, Others May Not

 

This time I found it difficult to find a suitable subject for my editorial. My original idea was to write about heat spreading, again. I found some interesting facts pointing at problems of interpretation for dual layers when using the often-used heat spreading equations while writing a white paper on basic thermal management for LED applications for this year’s APEX/IPC … [Read more...]

Calculation Corner: A Useful Catalog of Calculation Corner Articles

 

The first issue of ElectronicsCooling magazine was published in June 1995 with Kaveh Azar as Editor-in-Chief. In 1997 Bruce Guenin joined ElectronicsCooling as an Associate Editor. In the September issue, he published the first Calculation Corner article, which provided a simple description of “One-Dimensional Heat Flow” and occupied one-half page. I was invited to join … [Read more...]

Technical Brief: Reducing Energy Cost by Fan Selection and Optimization

 

As energy costs continue to increase, there is an increased awareness of energy usage and a greater emphasis on methods to reduce the energy consumed by electronic equipment. The portion of electronic equipment power devoted to cooling can be significant. For example, the servers in a typical data center can require up to two times the useful computing power for cooling. The … [Read more...]
