Scientists at Florida State University have used helium gas to cool superconductive cables in a breakthrough that could enable the development of next-generation power systems for future naval ships with advanced weapons systems. The discovery was made as part of a research project examining the use of high-conductivity electrical cables in power applications for naval vessels … [Read more...]
Heating Up Nanodevices May Keep Electronics Cool
As electronic devices have grown smaller and more powerful, new thermal management methods have been created to help prevent them from overheating; however, researchers and engineers are in a constant race to come up with new methods to adequately manage the increasing amount of heat being generated by shrinking next-generation devices. Now, scientists at University of … [Read more...]
NSA to Cool New Data Center with Wastewater in Controversial Deal
The National Security Agency (NSA) has announced plans to use 5 million gallons per day of treated wastewater from Howard County in Maryland to cool its huge Fort Meade data center, which is expected to be completed in 2016. According to The Baltimore Sun, the NSA will cover the $40 million required to build the needed pump station, and will pay up to $2 million each year for … [Read more...]
Thermoelectric Coolers for High Temperature Environments
Thermoelectric air conditioner supplier EIC Solutions has expanded its line of ThermoTEC thermoelectric coolers with the addition of a high ambient temperature model. Designed to cool electronic enclosures in extremely hot settings such as in deserts, or in high heat industrial applications such as those near blast furnaces, the new thermoelectric units are capable of … [Read more...]
Technique Combines Heat Sinks for More Effective Cooling
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new two-phase technique they say is up to 50 percent more effective in cooling electronic systems compared to current cooling technology. Led by Lee Poh Seng, Ph.D., of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at NUS, the team combined microgap and stepped fin microchannel heat sinks to create a two-phase … [Read more...]
