Recent advancements in electric vehicle batteries now allow them to deliver more power and require less frequent charges. But as a result an increasing challenge is to design an effective cooling system that will need to be able to transfer heat away from the battery pack as it is charged and discharged at higher rates. The reason is simple: because batteries are only … [Read more...]
A Preview of Automotive Electronics Thermal Management: AMAA Symposium 2018
The 22nd International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications (AMAA 2018) starts this week at Berlin, Germany. This international forum covering the progress in connected, automated, and electrified vehicles this year has the theme “Smart Systems for Clean, Safe and Shared Road Vehicles.” The conference is co-sponsored by EPoSS, the European Technology … [Read more...]
Laser Cooling Evolves to Meet Industrial and Medical Space Constraints
As lasers with higher output power are produced in smaller packages to meet space requirements, the size of external laser chillers must also be reduced, while offering improved cooling and energy efficiency. Higher laser output power in increasingly smaller packages has many benefits in reducing the floor space requirements in production floor, cleanroom, medical … [Read more...]
DCIM And Deepmind, Take 2: AI to Control Google’s Data Center Cooling
Readers of Electronics Cooling will no doubt recall our blog Of Deepmind, DCIM, and Data Center Cooling published two years ago where we highlighted some of the good design practices Google uses to improve (i.e., decrease) Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric in its data centers. In that blog we cited one metric for average PUE that steadily decreased from 1.20 in 2008 to … [Read more...]
Thermal Management of Outdoor Enclosures, Part 5A: Passive PCM Cooling Systems
In Part 1 (Thermal Management of Outdoor Enclosures), key aspects for successful design and development of thermal management systems were covered briefly, among these, cooling device selections and its impact on power, battery back-up and maintenance has therefore become of paramount importance for telecommunications enclosures. These are: Full active systems, like air … [Read more...]
