Parts
• LIQUID COOLING.
• AIR COOLING.
AIR COOLING.
HEAT SINKS
* Heat sinks are needed when the heat transfer to the ambient air directly from the top of the device is not sufficient to keep the semiconductor device within the allowable temperature range.
* heat sink was supplanted in higher power applications .
* increasing the thermal conductance of components and increasing the fin area exposed to the airflow is very important.
THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIALS
• TIM is essential when two or more solid surfaces are in the heat path.
• The air gaps created by multiple voids of "contacting" hard surfaces are simply too large a thermal barrier for even modest power applications.
• The first tactic in overcoming this barrier is to fill the voids and eliminate air by introducing a third material to the heat path that is fluidic and wets the surfaces.
Cont.
• An important property of any TIM is its thermal conductivity.
• grease and Elastomeric pads are used as TIM.
COOLING FANS AND BLOWERS
• Cooling fans and blowers are essential to systems
that produce a significant amount of heat like
computers and other electronic components.
• Different systems are
engineered to work with
specific types of fans.
• Cooling fans come in all
shapes and sizes.
as well as voltage,
airflow, and case size.
Difference Between Fans and Blowers
Axial fans:
• Create an air flow that is parallel to the axis of the fan blade.
• designed to work with systems that have low back air pressure and high rate air flow.
• less noise.
• Quite common and the most economical cooling solution.
• they are normally used in computers.
CONT.
Blowers :
• Send air on a perpendicular direction in relation
to its axis.
• Designed to work with systems that have high
impedance (i.e. high back pressure) and low rate air flow.
• It produce a more concentrated airflow
in a system, So they tend to generate
a significant amount of noise.
• they are used in Servers.
AC AND DC COOLING FANS
AC Fans DC FANs property
110v , 220v 5V, 12V, or 24V voltages
50 Hz , 60 Hz 0 frequency
Constant Variable Air Flow speed
high Low ( 60 percent less) Power consuming
Higher level
Lower level
Electro Magnetic
and
Radio Frequency
Interference
shorter longer Life
CONT.
• The difference in the cost between AC fan and DC fan is
negligible.
• When choosing fan for your applications, it is important
to look at the cooling requirements of the system and
applications, the fan type, the air flow, and AC or DC
power operation.
• AC fans are used when DC voltage is not available.
• All types of computer equipment rely on DC cooling fans.
SERVERS COOLING

The main two properties of cooling
devices are:
•1- Redundancy.
•2- Hot\Cold Swap.
Same as hard disks and power supply.

Liquid cooling (water)
What is liquid cooling ?
• Liquid (Water)cooling is a method of heat removal
from electrical components . As opposed to air
cooling, water is used as the heat conductor.
History
• Cooling hot computer components with various fluids has been in use since at least as far back as the development of Cray-2 in 1982.
• Through the 1990s, water cooling for home PCs slowly gained.
• it started to become noticeably more prevalent after the introduction of AMD's hot-running Athlon processor in mid 2000
Cont.
• As of 2011, there are several manufacturers of water cooling components and kits, and some custom computer retailers include various setups of water cooling for their high performance systems.
• Apple's Power Mac G5 was the first mainstream desktop computer to have water cooling as standard.
• Dell followed suit by shipping their XPS computers with liquid cooling.

Radiators have different FPI (fins per inch) and therefor optimized for different type
of fans, the ones with high FPI are optimal with powerful fans where ones with low
FPI are better for lower RPM fans.

Criteria and water flow
Advantages of liquid cooling over air cooling
• water's higher specific heat capacity, density, and
thermal conductivity. This allows water to transmit
heat over greater distances with much less
volumetric flow and reduced temperature difference.
• Drawing heat away from the processor and outside
of the system. This allows for higher clock speeds in
the processor as the ambient temperatures of the
CPU core are still within the manufacturer's
specifications.
Advantages cont.
• The water jacket around an engine is also very
effective at deadening mechanical noises, which
makes the engine quieter, Many high performance
CPUs require fan speeds in excess of 7000 rpm that
generate noise of 60+ decibels of noise.
• No DUST and no need to open computer to clean it.
Disadvantages.
• Costs significantly more than an air-cooled engine
system, approx. 600$.
• Size and weight ,need large area inside and out
side the computer require larger desktop system
cases to fit all of these parts within the computer
case itself ,approx.6.5Kg.
• and technical skills required to install a kit , suitable
tubes length , leaks could cause severe damage to
the components inside of the system.
cont.
• Leaking .
• Condensation, due to the ambient air right around
the pelt being cold.
• Water freezes at 0℃.
Usage
• Water cooling can be used to cool many computer
components.
• especially the CPU.
• GPU.
• Northbridge's.
• Southbridge's.
• Hard disk drives.
• Memory.
• Voltage regulator modules (VRMs).
• Power supplies can be water-cooled.
Coolant.
• This coolant contains a high quality anti-corrosion agent
for various materials including copper, aluminum, and
plastic, that prevents corrosion for long term operation.
• Material : Propylene Glycol & Anti-Corrosion Agent.
• Freezing Point : -9℃.
• Exchange Cycle : 1 year.
