The heat generated from large power semiconductors such as IGBTs, diodes, or thyristors can be as high as several kilowatts. While conventional extruded heat sinks have been one of the most widely ...

Which can move heat faster: a few heat pipes (say six 6mm pipes) or water running through a tube? Careful: I'm trying to zero in not on whether a heat pipe setup or a water cooling setup is better for ...

A team engineers created a twisty high-temperature heat exchanger that outperformed a traditional straight channel design in heat transfer, power density and effectiveness and used an innovative ...

Heat recovery systems can be divided into two categories based on the thermal parameters of the system: Systems for energy recovery and conversion from waste heat with high thermal parameters (above ...

Although most of the technology details for the Curiosity Rover are proprietary, we can guess that various heat-pipes of sorts may be on the Rover on Mars because of the efficiency and effectiveness ...

Thermal insulation is installed on almost every piping system and much of the plant equipment at power generation facilities. It not only saves energy, but also protects workers, reduces noise, helps ...

This article is part of the TechXchange: Cool Designs. I bet everyone reading this article knows that heat pipes and vapor chambers are two-phase devices used as part of a thermal solution. But, do ...

Demonstrating next-generation energy technology, researchers are using topology optimization and metal 3D printing to design ultra-compact, high-power heat exchangers. Demonstrating next-generation ...
