  2. Radiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator

    The majority of radiators are constructed to function in cars, buildings, and electronics. A radiator is always a source of heat to its environment, although this may be for either the purpose of heating an environment, or for cooling the fluid or coolant supplied to it, as for automotive engine cooling and HVAC dry cooling towers.

  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. Thermal management (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_management...

    Heat sinks are widely used in electronics and have become essential to modern microelectronics. In common use, it is a metal object brought into contact with an electronic component's hot surface—though in most cases, a thin thermal interface material mediates between the two surfaces.

  5. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    The heat dissipation can be further increased if two-phase flow cooling is applied. Unfortunately, the system requires large pressure drops, due to the small channels, and the heat flux is lower with dielectric coolants used in electronic cooling. Another local chip cooling technique is jet impingement cooling.

  6. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

    A radiator is a device that transfers heat to a medium primarily through thermal radiation.In practice, the term radiator is often applied to any number of devices in which a fluid circulates through exposed pipes (often with fins or other means of increasing surface area), notwithstanding that such devices tend to transfer heat mainly by convection and might logically be called convectors.

  7. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

    Outdoor radiant heaters allow specific spaces within an outdoor area to be targeted, warming only the people and objects in their path. Radiant heating systems may be gas-fired or use electric infrared heating elements. An example of the overhead radiant heaters are the patio heaters often used with outdoor serving. The top metal disc reflects ...

  8. Coolant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolant

    Waterless coolant is used as an alternative to conventional water and ethylene glycol coolants. With higher boiling points than water (around 370F), the cooling technology resists boil over. The liquid also prevents corrosion. [4] Freons were frequently used for immersive cooling of e.g. electronics.

  9. Spacecraft thermal control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_thermal_control

    Most spacecraft radiators reject between 100 and 350 W of internally generated electronics waste heat per square meter. Radiators' weight typically varies from almost nothing, if an existing structural panel is used as a radiator, to around 12 kg/m 2 for a heavy deployable radiator and its support structure.
