Cooling Medical X-ray Imaging Equipment

Introduction

Designed to take pictures inside a patient’s body, medical X-ray imaging systems are a vital piece of detection equipment. Medical X-ray imaging equipment can be used to detect and diagnose a wide range of injuries or diseases. In X-ray-based imaging techniques, an X-ray beam is projected through a patient to a recording medium. The generation and projection of an X-ray beam is highly inefficient and produces a large amount of waste heat. The heat load can be as much as 5KW.

Thermoelectric Cooler Assemblies for Reagent Storage






Maintaining a precise temperature below ambient, and monitoring this temperature carefully, are critical to extending the shelf life of reagents used in chemical and biological processes. Thermoelectric cooler assemblies provide a more efficient, reliable and cost-effective thermal control method compared to other thermal management technologies.

Precise Thermal Management for Additive Manufacturing

Introduction

Additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing, is an emerging application that is finding an expanding purpose in the manufacturing process. Once primarily used for quickly making prototype parts, 3D printing is now also used to digitize workflow and manufacture production quality final products. There are many different types of 3D printing methods used to physically create a desired object.

アディティブ製造

アディティブ製造は、3Dプリンタ技術とも言われますが、急速に進展している技術です。これは、医療や工業用、民生市場など幅広い応用機器で使われ、より強く、より軽い製品を製造できます。1990年代に3Dプリンタ技術が進展した時、部品を試作する場合に適した技術だと考えられていました。材料が改善され、精度や再現性が良くなり、この技術は今や最終製品の製造やワークフローのデジタル化にもよく使われるようになっています。3Dプリンタは、レーザーを使って溶融したプラスチック樹脂や金属を1層ごとに重ね合わせて(印刷して)いき、固体の3次元部品を作ります。このレーザーや電子ビームは大量の熱を発生しますので、熱に敏感な電子機器から熱を放散し、高品質な3Dオブジェクトを確実に作り、長寿命動作を実現しなければなりません。


UltraTEC™ UTX熱電冷却器

より小型のレーザーシステムでは、熱電冷却器をレーザーの外面に直接実装できます。レアードサーマルシステムズ社のUltraTEC™ UTXシリーズは、周囲温度よりも低く冷却し、熱を3Dプリンタの敏感な部品から逃がすことができます。
