NEC has developed an eco-friendly cooling system for CPUs, said to use 60% less energy than a water-cooling system and even 80% less than an air-cooling system. The core of the system is a liquid chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) substitute, which circulates around the CPU to draw away heat and has low greenhouse effects. NEC says the refrigerant begins boiling at around 50oC, changes … [Read more...]
Compact Water-Circulation System Prevents Stacks of Electronic Chips
A research team from the A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics and Nanyang University in Singapore has designed and built a water circulation system to cool stacks of integrated electrical circuits. “The heat must be removed from microchips to maintain a temperature within acceptable limits: less than 100 °C,” explains team-member Navas Khan from the Institute of … [Read more...]
