Imbera Optimizes Thermal Design Using Flotherm Software

Imbera Optimizes Thermal Design Using Flotherm Software Imbera engineers used Flotherm thermal simulation software from Flomerics to optimize early in the design phase the thermal management of a series of Integrated Module Boards (IMBs) that utilize a unique production process. Simulations provided fundamental information about the thermal behavior of the structure, making it possible for several thermal enhancement methods to be evaluated with... details>>

Flexible Candlestick Sensor Measures Temperature and Air Velocity

Flexible Candlestick Sensor Measures Temperature and Air Velocity A flexible, robust candlestick-design sensor that measures both temperature and air velocity for characterizing thermal conditions in electronic systems. details>>

Slanted Modules Key to Cool Cabinets

Slanted Modules Key to Cool Cabinets To maximize module count while minimizing footprint, Honeywell engineers developing the Experion R300 process control system vertically stacked the I/O and Controller modules. But vertical stacking created an overheating problem. Cool air entering the bottom of the ...... details>>
