Product Description

Details infallible techniques for designing electronic hardware to withstand severe thermal environments. Using both SI and English units throughout, it presents methods for the development of various reliable electronic systems without the need of high–speed computers. It also offers mathematical modeling applications, using analog resistor networks, to provide the breakup of complex systems into numerous individual thermal resistors and nodes for those who prefer high–speed digital computer solutions to thermal problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars The cooling bible., 16 Jun 2011

Scotslider (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cooling Techniques for Electronic Equipment (Hardcover)

As a practicing thermal engineer in the aerospace industry, I was introduced to the 1st edition in 1986, and a well-thumbed volume it was. Dave Steinberg's down-to-earth and extremely readable book was an invaluable aid in solving the problems of dealing with heat in electronics equipment of all sorts. It's only down-side at the time, due to its American origin, was its use exclusively of Imperial units. An edition with SI units is a welcome update. While much software now exists to solve thermal problems which previously required laborious hand (or spreadsheet) calculation, this book is still an essential part of any thermal engineer's toolkit, and gives valuable insights into the heat transfer process as it relates to modern electronics equipment. In the same "bible" category as Machinery's Handbook, in my view.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing a lot for electronic packaging engineers, 23 Nov 2000

By Yuri Kuzyk - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Cooling Techniques for Electronic Equipment (Hardcover)

As a mechanical engineer who designs packaging for electronic equipment (telecommunications systems) I am rather disappointed in this book. There are basically two chapters that are useful while the rest are intended for aerospace applications. Fine, aerospace is a "sexier" application; but with the large number of engineers (ever growing) now looking at trying to keep 15W ASICs cool while avoiding EMC issues and/or manufacturing problems this book misses the boat.

Anyone who has taken the TTI course (Dick Leatherman) or one of the other professional institutes around North America won't get anything from this textbook since it simply captures what's in your notes. For everyone else just wondering about this book - it isn't worth the money.

The negatives: - the units (US imperial) are only useful in the US. The rest of the engineering world intelligently uses SI... - only two sections that are applicable to packaging engineering or other non-aerospace. - outdated technology. - no details on design fundamentals of cooling units (fans, blowers) - only two references to acoustic noise in the entire book! This is inexcusable for electronic equipment! - no discussion of integrating EMC solutions with thermal solutions.

Not recommended unless you like shelfware...

4.0 out of 5 stars Review - Cooling Techniques for Electronic Equipment, 2nd Edition, 19 July 2010

By lisa flack - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Cooling Techniques for Electronic Equipment (Hardcover)

This book is nearly 20 years old and it is still the best reference for connecting the therory and practical examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book for engineers using and designing power electronic equipment, 22 Mar 2010

By Robert N. Guenther Jr. - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Cooling Techniques for Electronic Equipment (Hardcover)

This book covers cooling of electronic equipment in depth. The best feature of the book is the completely worked out examples that Steinberg uses. The reader not only gets the equations, but also sees how they are applied in realistic examples. The only thing that I would have liked to see, but did not, was an example or two dealing more with the cooling of high powered semiconductors (such as the larger IGBTs).
