Heat Exchangers

However, operation of all electronic components is temperature sensitive. Their performance is defined within very precise temperature ranges. This performance becomes poor outside the prescribed temperature limits. Furthermore, excessively high temperatures can even lead to their deterioration. This constraint means that the cooling efficiency becomes important to maintain the integrity of electronic equipment; importance stressed by an ever-increasing search for small-size designs, compared with the significant power released during operation.

For these particular uses, a specific category of heat exchangers is used to cool electronic boards in computers or power equipment such as those used in new generations of transport vehicles, in mobile telephony or in home automation systems.
