Giles,
As usual a long answer, and not very much to the point. it was to be expected.
The results you publish were first from investigations by your students, now
from
a professional laboratory. Students working in a professional laboratory,
and publishing numbers without proper checking?
The numbers do not add up. 80 watts loss seems to be impossible, both from
what's
put in and from what comes out. 80 watts on such a small unit can never be
dissipated. Not even when adding a small fan Nobody can really expect that -59
a ambient temperature is a reasonable figure either. In short: These are the
numbers you published and they can not be true, they do not even come close. Did
somebody put a comma in the wrong place?
The general picture from what others about cooling and load of the unit, the
poor
reliability of the unit is not heat related. It's just a poor quality item.
IMHO no use to find cooler spots or start adding fans with their own reliability
and fire-hazard problems.

Jos Okhuijsen
