Phil Tuma 3M Company, St. Paul, Minnesota The inefficiencies of legacy datacenter air cooling schemes are by now well known. New “Free Air” cooling technologies in which air is introduced to the racks in a facility or container and confined in hot and cold plena probably represent the pinnacle of air cooling efficiency, at least where climate permits them. However, development … [Read more...]
Companies to Collaborate on Aluminum Cold Plates for Liquid Cooling Systems
Niagara Thermal Products and Wolverine’s MicroCool™ Division have entered into a strategic collaborative alliance, focusing on the joint development of custom engineered, aluminum cold plates for liquid cooling systems in complicated electronic devices for the global aerospace and defense markets. Under the collaboration agreement, the two companies are combining Wolverine’s … [Read more...]
Final 787 Test Aircraft Completes Maiden Flight
Despite being cut short by a liquid cooling leak, Boeing’s sixth and final 787 Dreamliner has successfully completed its long-delayed maiden deployment, program sources said. The aircraft, which is the second of two General Electric GEnx-1B-powered 787s, departed Boeing’s Paine Field in Everett, Wash., on Oct. 4 and lasted just over an hour with an aircraft recovery at Boeing … [Read more...]
Nanofluid Tapped to Cool Servers
Scientists at Sweden's Institute of Technology have developed a nanofluid solution that could eventually be used to cool massive data centers and server farms. Researcher Mamoun Muhammed told CNN that his team had experimented with various nanoparticles, but the ones currently showing the most potential are oxides of metals such as zinc and copper. However, carbon nanotubes are … [Read more...]
Carbon Nanotubes Enable Pumpless Liquid Cooling System for Computers
Purdue University researchers, led by Suresh V. Garimella, have developed a new design employing carbon Nanotubes and small copper spheres that wicks water passively towards hot electronics that could meet the challenges brought on by increasing frequency speeds in chips. The researchers came up with a design that uses water as the coolant liquid and transfers the water to an … [Read more...]
