University of Illinois at Chicago researchers have completed high- and zero-gravity testing of an evaporative cooling system developed for sophisticated microelectronic systems onboard an astronaut training aircraft following three years of preparation supported by NASA. Managed by CNES subsidiary Novespace since 1997, the Airbus A300—nicknamed the Zero-G—is a short- to … [Read more...]
Researchers Identify Key Attribute in Surface Dissipation of Heat
New research from MIT that identifies the key attribute in surface dissipation of heat could lead to improved power plant efficiency and better cooling of high-power electronics. A team of MIT researchers has reportedly completed what they claim is the first systematic investigation of the factors that control boiling heat transfer from a surface to a liquid, a process that is … [Read more...]
Data Center Coolant Distribution System
Rittal Corporation, a manufacturer of industrial and IT enclosures, racks and accessories, has released a new coolant distribution system for use with Rittal’s rack- or door-mounted liquid cooling packages (LCP). Designed to handle all water routed between adjacent chillers and rack- or door-mounted LCPs, the new distribution unit is available with either four- and eight-tap … [Read more...]
Cooling System for Small- and Medium-Sized IT Installations
Rittal Corporation, a manufacturer of industrial and information technology enclosures, racks and accessories, has released the Rittal Liquid Cooling Package Direct (LCP DX), a cooling system for small- and medium-sized IT installations where “climate control with air/water heat exchangers or cold water would be too costly.” Available in two versions suitable for rack-based or … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: A System Perspective for Electronics Cooling
A friend of mine who was an aspiring plumber once stated that all you need to know to be a plumber is that you get paid on Friday and that waste flows downhill. Maybe there is a similar analogy for thermal engineers that regardless of when we get paid, thermal energy will flow in the direction of decreasing temperature. The direction of heat flow with respect to temperature … [Read more...]
