Global technology leader Laird has improved its advanced PC Series Power Cycling thermoelectric module (TEM) for applications that require high reliability and high volume thermal cycling between multiple temperature set points. The enhanced PC Series is now proven to perform more than 1-million temperature cycles, extending the mean time between failure (MTBF) in molecular … [Read more...]
Thermal Management of On-board Chargers in E-Vehicles
Electric vehicles are poised for a rapid growth phase with the combined effect of longer range, lower battery cost and faster charging rate. In particular, sales of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) have tripled since 2013 and continue to grow at over 40% a year. It is expected that at these growth rates, 8 out of 10 new cars sold globally in 2030 will be a PEV. In some countries … [Read more...]
How Vapor-Compression Cooling Works
Vapor-compression cooling can be found in virtually any home, such as in air conditioners that remove heat from our homes and in refrigerators that store our food. The history of vapor-compression goes back to 1805 where Oliver Evans, an American inventor, described a closed vapor-compression refrigeration cycle for producing ice. The first working vapor-compression … [Read more...]
Book Review of Electronics Cooling (2016)
by MP Divakar, PhD, Stack Design Automation Technical Editor, Electronics Cooling Online Electronics cooling engineers and designers are used to one constant in their professional lives: change. Most of it (as far as problem solving is concerned) is change for the worse… and is challenging! The heat flux keeps increasing, the geometries keep shrinking, the available solution … [Read more...]
New DoE Efficiency Standard for Pumps
(August 8, 2016) The minimum efficiency standards for general-purpose, three-phase motors have been raised. “The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) recently released new efficiency standards for commercial and industrial pumps that are based on efficiency levels negotiated by manufacturers, efficiency advocates, and other stakeholders,” reported MachineDesign.com, “In addition to … [Read more...]
