Editor shares cooling solutions for underwater video recorders
Underwater camera monitoring systems are widely used in marine environmental investigation, seabed mineral development, underwater engineering construction, marine rescue and salvage, aquaculture, underwater entertainment and sightseeing, and national defense and military affairs. It can provide intuitive and effective technical services in reservoir dam maintenance, ship maintenance, underwater foundation construction quality inspection of Transport engineering#Port and harbor engineering, and concealed works acceptance.
Underwater cameras can extend our eyes to the bottom of the water. High performance underwater camera monitoring systems mainly consist of diving cameras, displays, underwater cables, hard disk recording and CD output systems, and power supplies, forming a complete closed circuit monitoring system, which has irreplaceable applications in some special occasions.
Due to underwater operations, lighting issues are a major obstacle, so the camera system needs to use infrared for you. Infrared cameras, on the other hand, consume a lot from infrared lights. In order to achieve night vision effects, it is necessary to increase the power of the infrared lights to meet the needs of night video surveillance. It is understood that the power required for LED lights to convert electrical energy into light energy is usually only 25%. However, simply increasing their working current for longer intervals can only be counterproductive. The other 75% of electrical energy is converted into heat energy, resulting in an increase in its heat. If the heat cannot be discharged for a long time, it will cause damage to the infrared light and also affect the usage time of the camera CCD.
In such a situation, how to cool the recording equipment is a significant challenge. Under the traditional air-cooled cooling method, enterprises are facing numerous challenges such as low equipment availability, increasing cooling demand, low space utilization, and inefficient operation of cooling systems. And now a new heat dissipation technology has matured and is gradually becoming a common choice for everyone.
Liquid cooling "is a new heat dissipation solution that directly carries chip heat out of the device through liquid, greatly reducing the impact of high-power devices on peripheral devices, reducing heat dissipation power consumption, and solving the heat dissipation problem of high-power devices.
Compared to air cooling, liquid cooling has obvious advantages. High heat dissipation efficiency, quiet operation, and can significantly extend the service life of the equipment. Although the construction cost is slightly higher, in the long run, such investment can be fully realized through returns.
The principle of liquid cooling heat dissipation is the same, but the difficulty lies in the level of expertise and depth of technology. A good liquid cooling heat dissipation solution can save costs and improve efficiency from multiple perspectives. Therefore, only enterprises that have been immersed in the liquid cooling and heat dissipation industry for many years can have stronger strength.
