A journalist's recent visit to a secret Hong Kong Bitcoin mining facility reveals some of the newer cooling techniques in use to keep server temperatures from skyrocketing. Introduced in 2009, Bitcoin is an open-source peer-to-peer electronic payment method generated through the process of “mining,” in which computers are awarded bitcoins for finding the solution to specific … [Read more...]
Magnetic Nanoparticles Prevent Hotspots in Cooling Systems
An international team comprised of researchers at MIT and in Australia has discovered a way to enhance heat transfer using magnetic fields, a method they say could prevent hotspots that can lead to system failures. The new system, which relies on tiny particles of magnetite, a form of iron oxide, is the result of several years of research on nanofluids—nanoparticles dissolved … [Read more...]
Connectors for Liquid Cooling Applications
Colder Products Company, a provider of quick disconnect couplings and fittings for plastic tubing, has released the new LQ6 series connectors. Designed specifically for liquid cooling applications requiring multiple connect and disconnect cycles, these specialized couplings deliver reliability, security and ease-of-use in cooling applications where a drip-free connection is … [Read more...]
New Surfaces Ease Dissipation of Extreme Heat
A new method of cooling extremely hot surfaces more effectively from researchers at MIT could benefit industrial equipment and electronic devices. Considered by many to be a quieter, more efficient way of removing heat compared to traditional air cooling methods, liquid cooling is commonly used in a number of applications such as internal combustion engines in vehicles and … [Read more...]
Waterproof Tablet Computer Features Cooling Fan
Electronics manufacturer Fujitsu has released a unique new tablet computer capable of operating underwater while using a cooling fan to pump heat away from sensitive internal circuitry. The Arrows Tab QH77/M is 2-in-1 computer that can be used both as a clamshell notebook computer and as a tablet computer when the display unit is detached. The casing houses an Intel Core … [Read more...]
