In terms of air cooling with a fan on a heatsink, what results in lower temperatures, CFM or air pressure? For instance, if you have a 20CFM fan on a heatsink, will it cool the same as a larger 20CFM ...

When selecting an onboard air compressor, start with the basics. Determine how much pressure (psi) and flow (cfm) is required, then determine the duty cycle. “Ask yourself what you will be doing with ...

If your old shop air compressor appears to be wheezing its last or if it runs out of air in support of your growing pneumatic tool arsenal, a pump upgrade may be in your future. In 1982 Dave came to ...

Achieving optimum efficiency from an air compressor requires properly sizing it to the application. This calls for at least a basic understanding of the variables involved. “There are two variances ...

People complain about fan noise in their computers. The same applies to active cooling on high-power LED arrays. It's not CFM (cubic feet per minute) that counts, but the linear air velocity at the ...
