Four women, with support from the IFFE Business School in Spain, have created an unmanned aerial vehicle, Dronlife, with its own cooling system to transport organs in India. “Dronlife uses Peltier cells, devices used in some portable coolers and to cool electronics,” reported Newsweek, stating temperature control as a main requirement of the drone “since organs must be kept at … [Read more...]
Using Thermal Interfaces to Cool Optoelectronic Microprocessors
Recently, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology researchers Dmitry Fedyanin and Andrey Vyshnevyy have solved and “demonstrated how to efficiently cool optoelectronic microprocessors” by using industry-standard heat sinks, according to Phys.org. Optoelectronic chips’ active plasmonic components tend to overheat from high-speed data transfer, but by switching electrons with … [Read more...]
New “Kinetic Cooling Engine” CPU Cooler Design
Startup MIT company, CoolChip, demonstrated a new commercial prototype CPU cooler recently at CES. “They’ve partnered with Cooler Master to release a “kinectic cooling engine” that can cool a chip 50 percent more efficiently than a conventional cooler, in a form factor that’s half the size and emits much less noise,” according to Spectrum IEEE. It is true that “Sandia Labs … [Read more...]
Redesigned Heat Sinks Using 3D Printers
Plunkett Associates has successfully redesigned heat-sinks to improve convection cooling performance using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), or 3D printing. “Each heat-sink was first produced in virtual form and simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software,” reported 3Ders.org. “The top five heat-sinks were then built by 3T RPD Ltd. using DMLS and physically … [Read more...]
Protection Coatings for Coolers to be Presented at Upcoming Conference
On February 26 at the Photonics West Conference in San Francisco Rogers Corporation’s Power Electronics Solutions (PES) will be presenting a report on ACT’s vapor-deposited Applied Nanoscale Corrosion Resistant (ANCER™) coatings in partnership with Advanced Cooling Technologies. According to the company, the thin, conformal ANCER coatings “help extend the operating life of … [Read more...]
