This article treats Notebook cooling.
Notebooks are often similarly cooled as personnel computer, however partially special requirements apply because of the close area. The following forms of the cooling are well-known:
- Heatpipe
- Exhaust
- Water cooling with radiator
- Phase CHANGE phase CHANGE coolingCHANGE cooling:
- This cooling technology develops on a special phase CHANGE material. Such a phase transition can be presented as the transition from frozen water to liquid water. If one pumps much warmth evenly to frozen water inside, then there is a relatively long time, in which the temperature of the water does not change, but the water this warmth takes up (and but slowly melts). A phase CHANGE material is a similar material, only that the fusing temperature is another (e.g. 28 "°C). A concrete phase CHANGE phase CHANGE coolingCHANGE cooling consists of a kind mat, which is set e.g. under the Notebook, so that it stands on the mat. As soon as the Notebook becomes warmer than 28 "°C, this mat takes up the heat energy. The temperature of the mat does not rise over 28 "°C, anyhow not until the complete phase CHANGE material melted within the mat. The mat works thus as temperature buffer. After the mat is fully "loaded" by the warmth, it does not have further refreshing (i.e. endothermic ones) effect more. Therefore one must let it lie some time, so that she can itself again "unloaded".
- This kind of Notebook cooling is hardly common. It is only manufactured at present by the Swedish company Climator.
Quality criteria
The cooling technologies differ in
- Requirements of electric current,
- Cooling performance,
- Noise level,
- Duration of application.
