Introduction Air-moving devices (AMDs), such as fans and blowers used for cooling inelectronic systems invariably generate acoustical noise which must be consideredif people are exposed to the emitted noise. In this article, we discussquantitative measures for the description of noise, design guidelines for theselection of low noise air movers, upper limits for the noise … [Read more...]
Fan cooled enclosure analysis using a first order method
Introduction Most Electronics Packaging Engineers and Analysis Specialists have access toa wide range of high quality analysis tools. While a few computer programs useanalytical methods, the majority are based on numerical analysis techniques.Although these programs are becoming easier to use, they typically requireconsiderable skill, and they are certainly capable of producing … [Read more...]
Specifying filters for forced convection cooling
Introduction The importance and utility of air filters is often underestimated since itis typically an after-thought in the design cycle. The wrong filter is oftenused for an application which may compromise the electrical and thermalperformance of the system as a result of contaminant build-up. In this article,different filter designs and the selection process is reviewed to … [Read more...]
