Laird has recently developed a high heat flux density thermoelectric module (TEM) designed to achieve a higher heat pumping capacity than standard TEMs, called UltraTEC. “The UltraTEC Series TEM has a heat pumping capacity up to 340 watts, which is ideal for larger cooling applications with limited surface area such as industrial lasers,” claimed Laird. It also has a “precise … [Read more...]
New Material Cools Solar Cells Yet Absorbs Sunlight
Recently, researchers from Stanford University have achieved a combination of cooling and maintaining sunlight absorption with a wafer made of silica to better cool solar cells, according to BusinessWire.com. BusinessWire.com explained, “The researchers etched tapered holes, about 6 micrometers across and 10 micrometers deep, in the wafer. The holes are designed to smooth the … [Read more...]
Electrocaloric Polymers That Create On-Demand Cooling
A team of researchers from Pennsylvania State University have recently developed a blend of ferroelectric polymers that could cool chips and small scale systems on demand. According to NewElectronics these are called electrocaloric materials, and typically an external field is required for them to operate correctly, but the “latest polymer blend can hold absorbed heat even … [Read more...]
New Internal Mount Coolers Ideal for Enclosure Cooling
TECA introduces a new line of coolers, which are internally mounted air conditioners ideal for enclosure cooling. Because these thermoelectric coolers are highly reliable and almost maintenance free, they are ideal for areas that are hard to access. They also don’t have refrigerants, compressors or any moving parts except fans. The coolers offer horizontal or vertical … [Read more...]
Thermal Invisibility Cloak Improves Heat Distribution in Electronics
A team of researchers from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore has developed a thermal invisibility cloak that would improve heat distribution in electronic devices by redirecting incoming heat. The cloaks are capable of guiding heat around a hidden object, thus resulting in complete thermal invisibility. “Based on carefully engineered metamaterials – … [Read more...]
