As electric cars go to higher charging rates, better cooling will be needed. Direct Expansion, or DX, is a new cooling system that “uses the same refrigerant as used in your vehicle’s air conditioning system to cool the battery directly,” according to HybridCars.com. DX eliminates liquid glycol, even has a cooling rate of 3-4 times higher, and simplifies the battery’s … [Read more...]
New High-Rise Nano-Materials Incorporate Thermal Cooling Layers
Researchers and Stanford engineers are creating a new approach to the layout of computer processors and memory chips (called Nano-Engineered Computing Systems Technology, or N3XT) where processors and memory are stacked on top of one another like a high-rise architecture. This could cause immediate problems involving heat, but Stanford mechanical engineers Kenneth Goodson and … [Read more...]
The World’s First Liquid-Cooled Gaming Laptop
The Asus ROG GX700 has been introduced as the world’s first liquid-cooled gaming laptop. Asus ROG Global Marketing Director Derek Yu created the inch-thick laptop with a Nvidia GTX 980M graphics card, and with the cooling system as a “massive, alien-like pod filled with the extra hardware” that plugs right into the laptop, according to TechRadar.com. The liquid cooling system … [Read more...]
