Liquid cooling for precise temperature control
Electronics that generate a lot of heat in a small volume often benefit from swapping a cooling fan for a system based on a liquid coolant. Greg Ducharme • Laird Thermal Systems The specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of air—about 4,200 J/kg°C vs. 1,005 J/kg°C. This is another way of […]
Thermoelectric coolers deliver active cooling in high temperature environments
Laird Thermal Systems has developed a thermoelectric module series that is rated for high temperature in emerging optoelectronic applications. The HiTemp ETX Series thermoelectric cooler has a robust construction that allows it to survive in temperatures up to 150°C, exceeding most outdoor applications. It is assembled with advanced thermoelectric materials that boosts cooling capacity by […]
Keeping connected electronics cool with thermoelectric modules
Future connected vehicles are characterized by clusters of densely packed electronics. Thermoelectric modules can keep the temperature of these hot spots at manageable levels. Andrew Dereka | Laird Thermal Systems Advances in automotive electronics tend to come in small packages where dense circuitry squeezed into a pint-sized footprint generates lots of heat and thermal challenges […]
Thermoelectric assemblies and programmable temperature controllers stabilize incubator-chamber environments
Incubators are used for cell and tissue cultivation in hospital and laboratory settings. Accurate and precise control of temperature is important for cell growth, as excursions above or below the optimum mammalian body temperature of 37°C, by as little as 6°C, negatively impacts cell health and growth. Environmentally friendly SuperCool Peltier temperature control systems and […]
