  • Publication number: 20230084486
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to a system and method for testing units-under-test (UUT) with a thermal shock. The thermal shock testing system can include a chamber having an inlet and an outlet, the chamber being configured to provide a thermal shock to a unit-under-test (UUT), a pump configured to fluidly connect to the inlet of the chamber and direct a temperature controlled liquid through a channel embedded in the chamber, and a boiler and a chiller fluidly connected to the pump, the temperature of the liquid being controlled by at least one valve configured to alternatively direct hot or cold fluid to the inlet of the chamber.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 8315055
    Abstract: There is provided a heat dissipating device. An exemplary heat dissipating device comprises a thermally conductive plate that is adapted to be disposed adjacent to at least one heat generating device. The thermally conductive plate has surface features configured to promote turbulent airflow over the thermally conductive plate, the thickness of the surface features being approximately equal to or less than the thickness of the plate.
