Co-authored by: David L. Saums and Tim Jensen DS&A LLC and Indium Corporation INTRODUCTION Electronic systems, implemented in such diverse industries as aerospace, vehicle, geothermal exploration, and mobile devices with a range of more challenging application conditions, create new challenges for component and material reliability. Non-flat mounting conditions, … [Read more...]
Thermal Management of On-board Chargers in E-Vehicles
Electric vehicles are poised for a rapid growth phase with the combined effect of longer range, lower battery cost and faster charging rate. In particular, sales of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) have tripled since 2013 and continue to grow at over 40% a year. It is expected that at these growth rates, 8 out of 10 new cars sold globally in 2030 will be a PEV. In some countries … [Read more...]
How Vapor-Compression Cooling Works
Vapor-compression cooling can be found in virtually any home, such as in air conditioners that remove heat from our homes and in refrigerators that store our food. The history of vapor-compression goes back to 1805 where Oliver Evans, an American inventor, described a closed vapor-compression refrigeration cycle for producing ice. The first working vapor-compression … [Read more...]
Advanced Cooling for Power Electronics
Power electronics devices such as MOSFETs, GTOs, IGBTs, IGCTs etc. are now widely used to efficiently deliver electrical power in home electronics, industrial drives, telecommunication, transport, electric grid and numerous other applications. This paper discusses cooling technologies that have evolved in step to remove increasing levels of heat dissipation and manage junction … [Read more...]
