Summary

This article is the Spanish translation of a paper presented at the 19th International Compressor Engineering Conference, Purdue University, USA (see this issue of the Bulletin, reference 2010-1828). It presents a feasibility study of using electrostatically actuated diaphragm compressors for use in a miniature scale refrigeration system for electronics cooling. An experimentally validated analytical model for the diaphragm compressor has already been developed. The dimensions for the diaphragm compressor are selected based on an analytical optimization theory developed in this paper. Based on the diaphragm compressor analysis, the pressure rise and volume flow rate required for cooling of modern electronics may not be achieved using a single compressor unit because of the material property limitations. Hence, a 3-D array of the compressor has been proposed for satisfying the pressure rise and the volume flow rate requirements. It is shown that with this array, it is theoretically possible for the compressor to fulfil the cooling requirements and yet fit within the size restrictions set by the electronics cooling industry.
