  2. Water cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cooling

    Water is inexpensive, non-toxic, and available over most of the earth's surface.Liquid cooling offers higher thermal conductivity than air cooling. Water has unusually high specific heat capacity among commonly available liquids at room temperature and atmospheric pressure allowing efficient heat transfer over distance with low rates of mass transfer.

  3. Liquid cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_cooling

    In computing and electronics, liquid cooling involves the technology that uses a special water block to conduct heat away from the processor as well as the chipset. [1] This method can also be used in combination with other traditional cooling methods such as those that use air. The application to microelectronics is either indirect or direct.

  4. Supercooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercooling

    If water is cooled at a rate on the order of 10 6 K/s, the crystal nucleation can be avoided and water becomes a glass—that is, an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid. Its glass transition temperature is much colder and harder to determine, but studies estimate it at about 136 K (−137 °C; −215 °F). [ 9 ]

  5. Hydronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronics

    Hydronics (from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water') is the use of liquid water or gaseous water or a water solution (usually glycol with water) as a heat-transfer medium in heating and cooling systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The name differentiates such systems from oil and refrigerant systems.

  6. Deep water source cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_water_source_cooling

    Deep water source cooling (DWSC) or deep water air cooling is a form of air cooling for process and comfort space cooling which uses a large body of naturally cold water as a heat sink. It uses water at 4 to 10 degrees Celsius drawn from deep areas within lakes, oceans, aquifers or rivers, which is pumped through the one side of a heat exchanger .

  7. Chilled water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilled_water

    The cooling towers of a large chilled water system. As part of a chilled water system, the condenser water absorbs heat from the refrigerant in the condenser barrel of the water chiller and is then sent via return lines to a cooling tower, which is a heat exchange device used to transfer waste heat to the atmosphere.

  8. Coolant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolant

    Air cooling uses either convective airflow (passive cooling), or a forced circulation using fans. Hydrogen is used as a high-performance gaseous coolant. Its thermal conductivity is higher than all other gases, it has high specific heat capacity , low density and therefore low viscosity , which is an advantage for rotary machines susceptible to ...

  9. Water chiller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_chiller

    A water chiller [1] is a device used to lower the temperature of water. Most chillers use refrigerant in a closed loop system to facilitate heat exchange from water where the refrigerant is then pumped to a location where the waste heat is transferred to the atmosphere. However, there are other methods in performing this action.
