The liquid cools the chips while acting as a lens to magnify light. SWITCH bulbs use 80 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs and last for about 25,000 hours no matter often you switch them on or off. Learn … [Read more...]
GM to Stop Chevy Volt Battery Coolant Fires
General Motors is going to modify its Chevrolet Volt plug-in car to eliminate the possibility that its batteries can catch on fire hours or days after a serious side-impact crash. It turns out that battery coolant could leak on an electronic board, causing the fire. The leaks were discovered in tests in which a Volt was rotated until it was inverted. Only a small amount of … [Read more...]
Technical Brief: Design Considerations for High Performance Processor Liquid Cooled Cold Plates
The meteoric rise in cooling requirements of commercial computer products has been driven by an exponential increase in microprocessor performance over the last decade. The conventional way to cool microprocessors has been to utilize air to carry the heat away from the chip, and reject it to the ambient. Air cooled heat sinks are the most commonly used air-cooling devices with … [Read more...]
