Cool Chips Plc to Announce Electron Tunneling Results At ICT2002.Business Editors GIBRALTAR--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2002 Cool Chips plc (COLCF) will be presenting its cooling technology in detail, including recent laboratory results, in a paper at the 21st International Conference on Thermoelectrics August 25-29, 2002, to be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Long Beach, California Long Beach is a city located in southern Los Angeles County, California, USA, on the Pacific coast. It borders Orange County on its southeast edge. It is about 20 miles (30 km) south of downtown Los Angeles. , USA. The paper, by Cool Chips physicist Avtandil Tavkhelidze and co-authors Givi Skhiladze, Amiran Bibilashvili, Leri Tsakadze, Larisa Jangadze, Zaza Taliashvili, Isaiah Cox, Zauri Berishvili, and titled "Preliminary Results on Electron Tunneling Through Large Area Vacuum Gaps" will be given by Dr. Tavkhelidze on Monday 26th August at 5pm. Cool Chips(TM) are wafer-thin discs designed to produce cooling or refrigeration refrigeration, process for drawing heat from substances to lower their temperature, often for purposes of preservation. Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective. more efficiently than any competing technology, using quantum mechanical electron tunneling as the primary cooling mechanism. The Cool Chip(TM) is one of the first transformative technologies to emerge from the nanotechnology revolution. Because of the inherent advantages in cooling across a gap using electron tunneling, Cool Chips are projected to attain efficiencies much higher than those available in current cooling systems cooling systems for housed animals include spraying of roofs with water, evaporative pads with fans, foggers and misters; for pastured animals shelter from the sun by trees or artificial shade devices and cooling ponds are used. , and they are much less than 10% of the size and weight of compressors. Cool Chips are modular, and can be packaged in arrays to cool virtually any size heat load. At the conference Dr Tavkhelidze will describe how the Cool Chips plc research team has obtained tunneling currents of over 10 amps through the vacuum gap between conformal con·for·mal adj. 1. Mathematics Designating or specifying a mapping of a surface or region upon another surface so that all angles between intersecting curves remain unchanged. 2. electrodes. A large area vacuum gap is obtained using a surface replication method allowing exact matching of the surfaces of two electrodes. The paper will discuss measured current-voltage (I-V I-V Current/Voltage ) characteristics of the system, and demonstrate that capacitance and conductance dependence on the distance between electrodes is also in good agreement with a simple model of electrodes separated by a vacuum gap. The technology is protected by an extensive patent portfolio covering general theory and specific techniques for thermotunneling and thermal energy conversion.
