Six Fraunhofer institutes are developing new electrocaloric heat pumps that use elastocaloric heat pipes instead of compressors to extract heat from the sources. The first pilot systems developed by ...

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 ...

New challenges facing thermal management include an increasing need for remote heat dissipation as well as more efficient thermal solutions with low weight, low cost, and high reliability. Heat pipes ...

Over the past decade, the use of heat pipes in electronic cooling applications has increased dramatically, primarily in notebook computers. In fact, virtually every notebook computer manufactured ...

Once the secret design tool for aerospace designers, the heat pipe is a common fixture now thanks to the demands of PC CPU cooling. Heat pipes can transfer lots of energy from a hot side to a cold ...
