Introduction Today, there is a specific demand by the electronics consumer market: more devices using low power processors with multiple simultaneous CPU functions. Due to the significant demand in computing needs, the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) 2005 predicts an increase in the overall power consumption for some platforms [1]. The cooling issues … [Read more...]
Using a simple air recirculation model to explore computer rack cooling
Figure 1. Schematic diagram of simple computer rack air recirculation model. Figure 2. Schematic diagram of computer rack air recirculation model with heat exchanger in rear of computer rack. In an article in the November 2006 issue of ElectronicsCooling it was noted that “advances in computer clusters have resulted in the introduction of higher density server … [Read more...]
Thermal Challenges In LED Cooling
Introduction During the last ten years, developments in LED semiconductors have led to an important change in LED applications from that of luminous indicator to that of illuminator. With LEDs now advancing into several lighting fields, LEDs have become one of the standard methods of producing light, joining more traditional sources such as incandescent, fluorescent and … [Read more...]
Exploring the Limits of Air Cooling
Introduction Heat from electronic devices is an integral part of information processing, not a nuisance that can someday be eliminated. This is a physical principle that is independent of the device of information processing. However, when viewed in the historical perspective, the severity of heat problems has not monotonically increased. It came to the fore some time ago, … [Read more...]
Advances In High-Performance Cooling For Electronics
Introduction The need for new cooling techniques is driven by the continuing increases in power dissipation of electronic parts and systems. In many instances standard techniques cannot achieve the required cooling performance due to physical limitations in heat transfer capabilities. These limitations are principally related to the limited thermal conductivity of air for … [Read more...]
