The Online Publication and Book Series Dedicated to the Thermal Management of Electronics
Qpedia Thermal eMagazine was launched in 2007 as a monthly newsletter focused on the thermal management of
electronics. Now in its 9th year of publication, Qpedia is a highly respected monthly magazine that is distributed
at no charge to over 18,000 engineers. Written and published by the engineers of Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc.,
Qpedia is a technical resource to help the engineering community solve the most challenging thermal problems. Each
issue provides practical approaches to thermal management challenges and explains the new technologies for
successfully cooling today and tomorrow’s hot-running electronics.

Low Temperature Refrigeration for Microprocessors
Due to the steady increase of heat capacity in microprocessors, some applications mandate a very low temperature in the cold plate residing on the chip. Microprocessors can improve their performance by lowering their junction temperature.
Improving the Performance of Microchannel Heat Sinks
The magic behind microchannel heat sinks is their ability to achieve a high heat transfer coefficient and to create a large surface area. The heat dissipation ability of liquid cooled heat sinks is determined by the heat conduction in solid material and heat convection in the fluid.
Designing a Miniature Scale Refrigeration System for Thermal Management
Innovative methods are continuously needed to address the increasing heat dissipation and shrinking size of electronic components. The challenge is to develop efficient and reliable systems on a smaller scale. This article presents some of the work being done in this area.
Acoustic Refrigeration
Acoustic refrigeration combines thermodynamics and acoustics to convert sound to heat and vice versa. A thermoacoustic refrigerator amplifies the temperature of sound waves in one area in order to decrease their temperature in another.
Cooling News
New products, services and events from around the industry.
