Fluid line connectors are essential to liquid cooling loops. Engineers must consider selection, installation, and maintenance of a system’s fluid connections to prevent leaks and ensure system longevity. Fluid Coupling and Connector Selection Choosing the Right...
When trying to understand how a compressor based cooling system works, you must keep three physical phenomena in mind: Fundamental Physical Principles When a gas is compressed its temperature increases. Conversely, when it is expanded its temperature decreases. This...
Heat Pipes and Heat Exchangers What is a heat pipe? A heat pipe is a heat transfer device with an extremely high effective thermal conductivity. Heat pipes are evacuated vessels, typically circular in cross section, which are back-filled with a small quantity of...
The Benefits of Components & Systems Designers sometimes oversize components in order to build in a margin of safety. However, this safety factor can add quite a bit to the cost of operating your system. What may be less obvious, perhaps, is how this safety factor...
How to Maintain your Regenerative Turbine Pump to Ensure Longer System Lifetime While well-selected regenerative turbine pumps offer exceptionally long service life in chiller applications, like all pumps, there are many circumstances that can significantly impact...
An economical option for increasing surface area, folded fins increase heat transfer and performance in heat sinks, heat exchangers, and liquid cold plates. The World of Folding Most of the time when we hear folding, and not folded fin heat sinks. We first think of...
