ATS’ Dr. Camil Ghiu to Present at coolingZONE-13

Posted on September 9, 2013 by | Leave a comment

CZ13_speaker_camil

ATS’ own, Dr. Camil Ghiu, will be presenting “Driving Towards 0.1oC/W In Compact Air Cooled Heat Sinks: Advancements In Flow Management And Air Jet Impingement Cooling” at the Thermal Management Industry International Summit: coolingZONE-13. The Summit will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, October 21-23, 2013.

Considering the widespread use of compact systems, such as the 1U platform, and the drive to reduce costs from the system and deployment view points, air cooling continues to be sought for thermal management of such systems. The decrease in size of the new generation of electronic devices imposes a severe constraint on their incorporated thermal management devices. In this context, the development of low thermal resistance heat sinks (0.1 oC/W) for cooling compact electronics systems (1U form factor) continues to be a challenge for the thermal management community.

Dr. Ghiu’s presentation will present recent developments in designing compact heat sinks using advanced air flow management. Two main approaches will be presented, including heat sink design implementing jet impingement and sectional heat sinks. Both design approaches have been explored at ATS, and the experimental data and simulation results will be presented for further discussion.CZ13_HP

coolingZONE-13 is the premiere engineering conference for the thermal management industry. Leading experts from academia and the electronics cooling industry will present emerging technologies in the most crucial areas of thermal engineering. A wide range of topics will be discussed, including liquid cooling, advanced heat sink and heat pipe design, thermal interface materials, data center cooling and analysis, CFD, and vapor compression cooling. Keynote speakers this year are Dr. Vincent Manno of Olin College, Dr. Marc Hodes of Tufts University and Dr. Kaveh Azar, CEO of Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. Additional speakers and exhibitors from Laird, CD-Adapco, Aavid, Cradle-CFD, Schneider Electric, and Future Facilities will also be presenting at the conference.

New Qpedia Thermal eMagazine Published!

Posted on January 28, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Qpedia Thermal eMagazine, Volume 6, Issue 11, has just been released and can be downloaded at: http://www.qats.com/Qpedia-Thermal-eMagazine/Back-Issues. Featured articles in this month’s issue include:

Honeycomb Heat Sinks for LEDs

LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, are a form of solid-state lighting. An LED light is often made of a small piece of semiconductor, an integrated optical lens used to shape its radiation pattern, and a heat sink, used to dissipate heat and maintain the semiconductor at low operating temperature. LED lights present many advantages over incandescent light sources, including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved physical robustness, smaller size and faster switching. This article examines Ma et al’s  findings with respect to the honeycomb heat sink design employed in LEDs, which has proven to be highly efficient.

Characteristics of Thermosyphons in Thermal Management

With the increase of heat fluxes and shrinking chip sizes in electronics applications, there is a need to spread the heat from the small chip to the larger heat sink or to transport the heat to a location where there is ample space to remove the heat. Heat pipes, vapor chambers and thermosyphons have been introduced to undertake this task and, in this article, we focus on some aspects of the design of thermosyphons. The advantage of thermosyphons is that they have no capillary limit and can transport large amounts of heat over long distances.

Industry Developments: Heat Pipes Providing High Performance

Heat pipes are increasing in type and use for the benefits they provide. Because of their lower total thermal resistance, heat pipes transfer heat more efficiently and evenly than solid aluminum or copper. Heat pipes contain a small quantity of working fluid (e.g. water, acetone, nitrogen, methanol, ammonia). Learn the conclusions of a recent study that focused on the best working fluid and another study of heat pipes in outer space.

Technology Review: Cold Plates, 2010 to 2012

Qpedia continues its review of technologies developed for electronics cooling applications. We are presenting selected patents that were awarded to developers around the world to address cooling challenges. After reading the series, you will be more aware of both the historic developments and the latest breakthroughs in both product design and applications.
