NASA announced Sunday that it is considering a series of spacewalks or a resupply mission to fix a broken cooling loop on the International Space Station, which was shut down last week after the malfunction of a flow control valve inside a pump module. According to NASA, the pump module inside one of the space station’s two external cooling loops, which circulate ammonia … [Read more...]
Electrocaloric Effect May Yield More Effective Cooling Systems
British scientists are hoping to replace chemicals used in modern cooling systems with more environmentally-friendly materials that change temperature with the application of electricity. Known as the electrocaloric effect, previous research from 2006 has shown that the phenomenon can be used in cooling applications. According to researchers at the National Physical … [Read more...]
Bitcoin Mining Boosts Interest in Liquid Cooling
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...]
