  2. Laptop cooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop_cooler

    An active laptop cooler. A laptop/notebook cooler, cooling pad, cooler pad or chill mat is an accessory for laptop computers intended to reduce their operating temperature when the laptop is unable to sufficiently cool itself. Laptop coolers are intended to protect both the laptop from overheating and the user from suffering heat related ...

  3. Overheating (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overheating_(electricity)

    Heat sinks are often attached to portions of the circuit that produce most heat or are vulnerable to heat. Fans are also often used. Some high-voltage instruments are kept immersed in oil. In some cases, to remove unwanted heat, a cooling system like air conditioning or refrigerating heat-pumps may be required.

  4. Fan clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_clutch

    A fan clutch is a thermostatic engine cooling fan that can freewheel at low temperatures when cooling is not needed, allowing the engine to warm up faster, relieving unnecessary load on the engine. As temperatures increase, the clutch engages so that the fan is driven by engine power and moves air to cool the engine.

  5. Heater core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heater_core

    Since the heater core relies on the coolant's heat to warm the cabin air up, it will not begin working until the engine's coolant warms up enough. This problem can be resolved by equipping the vehicle with an auxiliary heating system , which can either use electricity or burn the vehicle's fuel in order to rapidly bring the engine's coolant to ...

  6. Heat sink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

    A heat sink (aluminum) with its heat pipes (copper) and fan (black) A heat sink (also commonly spelled heatsink, [1]) is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of ...

  7. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

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

    A system of valves or baffles, or both, is usually incorporated to simultaneously operate a small radiator inside the vehicle. This small radiator, and the associated blower fan, is called the heater core, and serves to warm the cabin interior. Like the radiator, the heater core acts by removing heat from the engine.

  8. Automotive air conditioning - Wikipedia

    Once complete, the car was shipped to a local dealer for delivery to customers. Packard warranted and supported this conversion. However, it was not commercially successful because: The main evaporator and blower system took up half of the trunk space (though this became less of a problem as trunks became larger in the post-war period).
