Temperature Testing – Which Cooling Method is best? Comparison of cooling methods for Environmental Temperature Testing of Electronics Many electronic components and systems require thermal cycling equipment in manufacturing or the laboratory for system test, burn-in, or design validation. While improvements in heat pump design allow compressors to heat as well, in most cases resistance heating is the heating method of choice, this is a discussion of cooling options. For cooling methods, there are several choices. Three primary ways that things are currently being cooled in the lab are: Mechanical refrigeration i.e. compressor, Expendable coolants such as LN2 or CO2, Thermoelectric cooling. … Continue reading Temperature Testing – Which Cooling Method is best?
