Acoustic Testing Meter
I was browsing through ElectronicsCooling magazine recently and noticed an advertisement for a new publication: Environmental Test & Design (ETD). According to ETD’s website, ETD is written for professionals involved in the design, testing, compliance, manufacturing, and recycling of military, aerospace, medical, IT, and industrial electronics.

Dental Laser Heat Exchanger
Medical lasers often require liquid cooling to maintain a precise laser wavelength and higher output efficiency, to achieve desired beam quality, and/or to reduce thermal stress on the laser system. Pictured on the left is a custom stainless steel tube-fin heat exchanger that Lytron recently designed and manufactured for an OEM for cooling a dental laser. Although the custom stainless steel tube-fin heat exchanger is very similar to Lytron’s 4000 series standard stainless steel tube-fin heat exchanger, it has custom dimensions to meet the OEM’s specific requirements.

Lytron is hiring!
Lytron is growing and, as a result, is looking for talented people to join its team. Current job openings include engineering and buyer/planner positions in Woburn, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. For more information on job openings, please visit Lytron’s careers page.
Vacuum Chamber and Helium Leak Detector
Lytron recently purchased a new vacuum chamber and helium leak detector for testing custom cold plates and custom heat exchangers for aerospace applications. The helium leak detector can identify leaks of down to 10-12 mbar l/s. The vacuum chamber is 50″ (127.00 cm) long and 30″ (76.20 cm) in diameter and can be used to test parts up to 44″ (111.76 cm) long and 29″ (73.66) wide. The purchase of the vacuum chamber and helium leak detector further expands Lytron’s in-house test capabilities. For more information, please contact Lytron at +1-781-933-7300.
Recirculating chiller cools form, fill, seal machines
Many manufacturers rely on Lytron’s recirculating chillers to keep their production lines cool. Sage Products, a disposable healthcare products manufacturer, uses Lytron recirculating chillers to cool each of its form, fill, and seal machines. The form, fill, and seal machine shown in the background of the photo uses five spider robots to load five different products into one form-fill-seal blister pack. Congratulations to Kevin at Sage Products for winning the “Coolest Photo” contest!

Research continues for ways to improve the performance of cold plates and heat exchangers to handle increasingly high heat load densities for electronics cooling. Dr. Jessica Townsend, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, recently published a paper on nanofluids with her colleague Dr. Rebecca J. Christianson, assistant professor of applied physics. Continue
Cool Industrial Laser Photo
Lytron will be awarding a $500 prize for the coolest photo of a Lytron product in use in a liquid cooling application. The photo can be of a standard or custom Lytron cooling system, chiller, cold plate, or heat exchanger. Please email your photo and application description to TBarber@Lytron.com by 5pm EDT Tuesday, June 15th. Want to see some of Lytron’s heat exchangers in cool applications? Check out these blogs:
