High-Performance Heat Transfer for Modern Medical Devices
The unprecedented power of today’s medical devices is a testament to the advancement in computing technology we’ve enjoyed over the last several decades. However, it has also been a particularly pressing challenge for thermal engineers tasked with developing thermal management systems that can keep up. On one hand, medical devices evolve by becoming smaller and more powerful, meaning thermal management solutions must work harder in significantly tighter spaces. In addition, technology designed for use in a medical or hospital setting comes with a unique set of challenges, including the safety of the materials and cooling fluid used. (more…)
Why Companies Choose Ambient Heat Exchangers
The more powerful technology becomes, the more important it is to effectively manage electrical waste heat. While thermal management needs evolve along with the systems that rely on them, one thing remains constant: heat exchangers can usually provide the most efficient and versatile solutions by simplifying the thermal management process. For instance, electrical enclosures and control panels can be properly cooled by simply transferring the waste heat they produce away from sensitive components with ambient heat exchangers. In most applications, ambient heat exchangers can allow companies to save significantly on energy and overall costs, especially when newer and more powerful technology is implemented. (more…)
Main Benefits of Heat Exchangers to Automated Technology
These days, automation is a common component to much of our technology. Everything from farming and manufacturing to medical equipment and consumer products rely on varying levels of automation to help improve productivity and efficiency. In many cases, the widespread of adoption of automated technology is made possible by the advanced thermal management modern heat exchangers provide. Heat exchangers make it possible to consistently cool high-performance, automated technology without drawing on large amounts of energy or requiring constant maintenance. (more…)
When Are Below-Ambient Heat Exchangers Most Effective
Heat exchangers are commonly known for their ability to cool electrical enclosures to just above ambient temperatures, providing continuous thermal management with minimal effort. Sometimes, though, ambient temperatures can be higher than the maximum operating temperature of an electrical system, making ambient heat exchangers ineffective. In such cases, Noren can provide high-performance, below-ambient heat exchangers that offer the same efficiency and cost-effectiveness as ambient units by precisely controlling temperatures to meet the needs of a wide variety of applications. (more…)
Cooling Technology that Operates in Hazardous Locations

Heat Exchangers’ Effect on Cleaner Thermal Management
Everything from large manufacturing equipment and electrical control panels to personal computers and handheld devices rely on effective thermal management solutions to operate properly. Until relatively recently, that need for thermal management meant that air conditioning technology was vital for a wide variety of applications. Now, however, the need for more efficient and cost-effective operations, combined with the push for cleaner technology solutions, has made heat exchangers an even more important development in thermal management. With the ability to transfer electrical waste heat through natural means, such as convection, conduction, and phase-change cooling, heat exchangers help companies reduce their overall energy consumption and increase their reliance on other clean technology solutions.
