Once you’ve determined liquid cooling is the solution, do you know what heat transfer fluid to use? One of the most important factors when choosing a liquid cooling technology for your application is the compatibility of the heat transfer fluid with the wetted...
Improving Heat Transfer Between Surfaces and Overall Thermal Performance This thermal resistance can be expressed as Rja, where: Rja – Thermal resistance from the device junction to ambient air or water Rjc – Thermal resistance from the device junction to...
Heat Spreading Heat spreaders offer cost-effective, reliable high thermal conductivity and efficacy with almost no moving parts. A heat spreader is an effective solution for dealing with heat sources that have a high heat-flux density (high heat flow per unit area)...
The following is a brief overview of some fundamental heat transfer concepts. To learn more, the reader is encouraged to review the source publications and cited websites Introduction to Thermodynamics 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics The 1st Law of Thermodynamics...
The first step in selecting the right product for your cooling system application is to determine the heat load, or the amount of heat generated by your system. This article explains how to establish heat load for any liquid cooling application. The same process can...
