Someone in this thread provided a link to an IR paper that discussed
the boiling liquid test procedure. Did you read it?

They said in that paper that *some* of their parts are tested this
way. I can't tell which parts. Can you?

Boiling liquid carries away far more heat than still or even flowing
liquid. Since IR cheats as hard as they can, we can assume they used
boiling liquid. I fact, they say so.

Did you read the IR paper?

I posted, to a.b.s.e, a pdf of one sheet of the IR flyer I received in
the mail last week. They show a couple of D2PAKs that they rate at 340
amps. Do you believe that?

Chilled fluorinert does not need to be boiling to have thermal
efficiency.

Not just boiling liquid, John, _nucleate_ boiling.

There is a clear distinction between the two as described here:

Ain't that "nuculate"? :-)

IOW a really realistic method of cooling a D2PAK transistor :-)

Wrong again, AlwaysWrong. How do you think Fluorinert works? By magic?
