By Victor Chiriac1, Steve Molloy1, Jon Anderson1, Ken Goodson2 1 Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., 2 Stanford Mechanical Engineering Introduction With smart phones and other mobile devices available in a variety of sizes and shapes, it is challenging to think in a consistent and comparative manner about the effectiveness of the thermal management solutions that they employ. This … [Read more...]
Researchers Use Infrared Laser to Refrigerate Liquids
Recently, the University of Washington research team has successfully used an infrared laser to cool water. According to Phys.org, the process uses a microscopic crystal suspended in water and an infrared laser light, to cool the water to about 36 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat from the infrared laser excites a kind of glow from the crystal that has “slightly more energy than … [Read more...]
Compact PC with Liquid Cooling System
Simon Laine, a Swedish PC modder, recently built a PC with a liquid cooling system. According to Forbes, the PC known as “Luna” has an Intel Core i7-4770R, which has Iris Pro 5200 graphics. For the liquid cooling system, the PC uses a miniature pump called the DCLT 2400. “This minuscule pump is about the same size as a small box of matches, yet it’s a fully-fledged unit with … [Read more...]
Microfluidic Channels Deliver Power and Cooling in Computational Hardware
IBM’s fluid research labs are currently testing “5D electronic blood” to deliver power and cooling in computational hardware. “Using IBM’s developed microfluidic channels on a sample chip, it is able to funnel in a cooling fluid solution mixed with what Ars Technica calls, ‘redox couples,’ that are capable of producing electricity when oxidized and then reduced again to lose … [Read more...]
Fan wins iF Design Award
Recently, Sunon has won the iF Design Award for its “LED Lighting Ventilation Fan.” The design of the product combines ventilation fans with LED lighting. The fan delivers an ultra-high air flow and high energy efficiency as well. The LED Lighting Ventilation Fan’s DC Motor Technology “features energy saving up to 82% compared to AC motor and has an ultra-low power … [Read more...]
