A project to help data centers reduce their carbon footprint by using fiber optic cables as heat sensors has been awarded almost £1 million ($1,556,700 USD) in government funding. The investment, from the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC), will be used to help Cambridge-based start-up Alquist further develop its Celsius technology and test it at two London data … [Read more...]
Heat Exchanger Research Could Lead to Better Liquid Cooling in Aerospace, Automotive, Defense Applications
A New Mexico State University assistant professor is investigating methods of increasing heat exchanger efficiency that could enable space missions to remain in orbit for longer periods of time and lead to better automotive, defense, data center and power generation thermal management systems. “The problem we are addressing is how to extend NASA space missions,” Krishna Kota, … [Read more...]
NASA Astronaut Releases Video on Helmet Leak
Several weeks after NASA aborted a spacewalk outside the International Space Station following a report of a water leak inside Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano’s helmet, Parmitano’s spacewalk partner has released a two-part video explaining the origin of the leak. The July 16 spacewalk was aborted approximately an hour-and-a-half into what was to be a six-hour spacewalk to … [Read more...]
High Temperature Capacitors Could Remove Need for EV Cooling Systems
A new lead-free, high temperature ceramic capacitor developed by scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), UK could improve the efficiency and reliability of electric and hybrid vehicles by enabling the removal of heavy complex cooling systems. “Electric vehicle operating temperatures can go up to 140°C [almost double the temperature conventional capacitors can … [Read more...]
Researchers Test Cooling System in Zero-Gravity
University of Illinois at Chicago researchers have completed high- and zero-gravity testing of an evaporative cooling system developed for sophisticated microelectronic systems onboard an astronaut training aircraft following three years of preparation supported by NASA. Managed by CNES subsidiary Novespace since 1997, the Airbus A300—nicknamed the Zero-G—is a short- to … [Read more...]
