Abstract:
Loop Heat Pipes (LHPs) are very low thermal resistance devices currently used to cool electronics in space vehicles. Using LHP technology, Microway eliminates the need for water chillers, air blowers and almost all of the unreliable, noisy, energy inefficient 1U fans found in rack mount chassis. Miniature LHPs can cool electric devices more efficiently than any other technology and work with loads up to 1000 Watts/cm2 (a world record). This presentation describes their use to efficiently cool electronics in servers housed in data centers, other enclosures and even laboratory closets. This revolutionary design completely changes the approach to data center cooling, from thinking about it as a cooling method, to one whose servers produce water hot enough to go directly to a cooling tower or be used for regeneration.
