1.0 INTRODUCTION
In our modern society, we have become very dependent
upon our electronic gadgets and appliances. Most households (in the U.S) have Personal
Computers with an Internet Connection. If we solely
looked at the Personal Computer, we do a lot of
thing with this product.

We communicate with our friends, family members and business associates.


We conduct financial transactions (e.g., buy or sell products on line)
We create all kinds of documents (which are very important to our personal and business finances/operations)
We store and play music (in the form of *.mp3 files)
We (increasingly) store pictures that have sentimental value (and
could be tough to replace if lost).
For many people, anytime their "computer dies", it becomes a major inconvenience in their lives.
If you were to look at some other electronic systems that we
typically have in our homes, such as

DVD Players
Gaming Systems (e.g., Playstation, X-Box, Nintendo, Wii, etc.)
Audio Entertainment Equipment
Video Recording Equipment (for you people that like to
post videos on YouTube.
Appliances (such as Central Air Conditioning Systems,
Heat Pumps, Microwave Ovens, etc.)
HDTVs (e.g., LCD or Plasma)
All of these items entertain us, enlighten us and provide us
with comfort. These products each require a considerable amount of money to
purchase. Further, repairing and/or replacing these products is also quite expensive.
Hence, I am quite amazed that people do not do more to protect their investment (in these electronic systems) and do whatever
they can to extend the operating life time of these products.


In general, there are three (3) different
destructive mechanisms that will either destroy or greatly reduce the operational life-time of your electronics.

These three destructive mechanisms are

Heat
Electrical Surge/Spike Events, and
Electrical Noise
In this article, we are going to talk about HEAT. As we
discuss Heat, we will cover the following topics.

2.0 HOW IS HEAT DESTRUCTIVE TO YOUR ELECTRONICS
Heat is an artifact of electronics. All electronic systems generate heat.
Electronic systems accept electrical power (current and voltage) from the power line (via the
electrical outlet). The electronic system uses a
portion of this electrical power to perform work (e.g., the function that
you want it to perform, e.g., play a DVD, cook a bag of popcorn, etc).
The remaining portion of this electrical power is converted
into heat.

However, heat is also an enemy of electronic systems.
Few things are more effective in reducing the operating life-time of an electronic system, than raising the operating temperature of the electronic circuitry within your electronic system.

If you were to speak with an Electronics Device Reliability expert, he/she
would tell you that for every 10 degrees (Celsius) that you raise the operating
temperature of an electrical device
