CoolClouds, Inc. has announced the availability of a new class of heat sinks for use in high performance computers or extreme environments starting mid-Q1 2014. According to the company, SuprCool-PC is the first “in-chassis” heat sink to cool more than 300w in the latest Intel and AMD processors without hot spots at 65°C case temperature in 25°C ambient. Comparable in size to … [Read more...]
NASA Considers Solutions for Broken ISS Cooling Pump
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...]
Highly-Conformable Gap Filler Pad with Reinforced Mesh Center
Fujipoly America Corporation has released its new Sarcon25GR-T2d thermal interface material, a soft, highly-conformable gap filler pad with a reinforced mesh center ideal for applications that require a thermal interface bridge across larger surface areas. Once installed, the TIM delivers a thermal conductivity of 1.5 W/m°K per ASTM D2326 and a thermal resistance of 0.40 … [Read more...]
Carbon Nanotubes Offer Thermal Stress Relief at Critical Juntions
Scientists at Stanford University have released new findings that demonstrate the benefits of using carbon nanotube arrays at critical junctions between two materials to help better relieve thermal stress. Thermal stress, often caused by the joining of two materials that expand and contract at different rates as temperatures change, can lead to unnecessary strain and … [Read more...]
