Introduction Recent advances in computer clusters have resulted in the introduction of higher density server equipment that consumes significant amounts of electrical power and produces an extraordinary amount of heat. Due to this latter attribute, which has alarming consequences with regard to thermal management, the installation of modern computer clusters will require … [Read more...]
Thermal Challenges In LED Cooling
Introduction During the last ten years, developments in LED semiconductors have led to an important change in LED applications from that of luminous indicator to that of illuminator. With LEDs now advancing into several lighting fields, LEDs have become one of the standard methods of producing light, joining more traditional sources such as incandescent, fluorescent and … [Read more...]
Thermal Design And NEBS Compliance
Introduction As part of contractual and design requirements, telecom equipment destined for certain networks in the North American market has to be tested to the Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) standard and comply with its requirements. NEBS is a standard from Telcordia, formerly known as Bell Communication Research (Bellcore). Technically speaking, NEBS is the … [Read more...]
Thermal Resistance Comparison Of Graphite Foam, Aluminum, And Copper Heat Sinks
Introduction With thermal solutions becoming more challenging, there is a push for novel cooling ideas or materials to further mitigate thermal issues facing today's electronics. In these design situations, the proven method of analytical calculations, modeling, and laboratory testing is sometimes bypassed in the search for a quick "cure-all" solution. Evolutionary progress is … [Read more...]
Advances In High-Performance Cooling For Electronics
Introduction The need for new cooling techniques is driven by the continuing increases in power dissipation of electronic parts and systems. In many instances standard techniques cannot achieve the required cooling performance due to physical limitations in heat transfer capabilities. These limitations are principally related to the limited thermal conductivity of air for … [Read more...]
