Abstract: An apparatus 10 for controlling a temperature of an electronic device 40, comprising a temperature regulated surface 100 and an actuator 105 adapted to alternately pulse the temperature regulated surface 100 and electronic device 40 between thermally coupled and uncoupled positions, whereby a temperature of the electronic device 40 is controlled.
Abstract: The cooling apparatus (20) of the present invention is suitable for cooling electronic devices (22), and comprises a thermoelectric cooler (24) having a hot surface (26) and a cold surface (28), the cold surface (28) in thermal contact with an electronic device (22). A fluid circulator (30) is in thermal contact with the hot surface (26) of the thermoelectric cooler (24), and is capable of flowing heat transfer fluid (32) therein for transporting heat from the hot surface (26) of the thermoelectric cooler (24) to an environment remote from the electronic device (22). A thermal insulator (34) is provided for thermally isolating the electronic device (22) from a contiguous electrical circuit (36), so that the electronic device (22) is cooled substantially without condensation forming on the electronic device (22) or contiguous electrical circuit (36).
