Effect Of Improved Thermoelectric Zts On Electronic Module Coolability
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the application of thermoelectrics to electronics cooling. Attention has been focused on thermoelectric cooling both as a possible means to enhance module cooling and to address the chip hot spot problem. Effort has been directed towards the development of new bulk materials and thin film micro-coolers. The usefulness of … [Read more...]
Liquid Cooling Of A High-Density Computer Cluster
Introduction Recent advances in computer clusters have resulted in the introduction of higher density server equipment that consumes significant amounts of electrical power and produces an extraordinary amount of heat. Due to this latter attribute, which has alarming consequences with regard to thermal management, the installation of modern computer clusters will require … [Read more...]
