Industrial conglomerate Eaton Corp has agreed to buy Wright Line Holding Inc., a privately held maker of enclosures and racks for electronics for data centers, Eaton said on Wednesday. Terms were not disclosed. Wright Line recorded sales of about $101 million over the past year. Eaton’s electrical segment makes power distribution technology and uninterruptible power systems, … [Read more...]
Six Cool Innovations for the Data Center
Computing industry veteran John Brandon explains six new products and technologies that promise to solve real data centre problems or are already working to make enterprise operations run more smoothly. They include fiber optics with a twist, submerged liquid cooling and horizontal racks; several broadband lines combined into one; multiple data centers more easily connected; … [Read more...]
Military Issues Press for New Materials Development
Pressing needs for new ways to cool electronics for aerospace and defense applications are encouraging the development of new materials to wick heat away from components on boards and in chassis, and also is providing incentive for systems designers to rethink their commitment to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology. One approach to removing heat efficiently from military … [Read more...]
Heat Sinks Contribute to Cool Silence
Silent-cooled graphics cards are becoming increasingly prevalent as PC hardware is becoming increasingly efficient. In silent cooling, a heat sink is installed in a model that engineers determine can remain safely cool without a fan. The heat sink pulls heat build up away from the graphics processor on the card, but since there are no moving parts involved in this cooling … [Read more...]
Series of Papers Illustrate Use of Thermal Simulation Technology in Design
NMB Technologies Corporation introduces a new series of informational engineering papers on how thermal simulation can aid, not only in the design of a system, but in anticipating the behavior of cooling components. In looking at the selection process of cooling components, in particular axial cooling fans, the first step for the engineer is to estimate the required airflow … [Read more...]
