1-1963560-3 Application Field and Working Principle

Thermal - Heat Sinks is a device used to control the temperatures of electronics and other machines. Heat sinks are used to dissipate heat generated from an electronic or mechanical component known as the "heat source". The heat sink helps to prevent the temperature of the heat source from exceeding normal operating temperatures. The exhaust of the heat sink dissipates excessive heat and the internal mechanism of the electronic or mechanical component is thus protected.

Types of Heat Sinks

There are different types of heat sinks available in the market, which are designed specifically for their intended specific application. These types of heat sinks are categorized into three different types-Active, Passive and Combined. Active Heat Sinks have fans attached to them, thus creating an active cooling system. Passive Heat Sinks on the other hand do not contain any fans. They rely solely on the design of the heat sink to increase heat dissipation. Combined Heat Sinks are a combination of both active and passive elements combined together to provide efficient cooling.

Thermal Design Considerations

Before choosing any type of heat sink, one must ensure that the design is optimized for its intended application. The design of the heat sink should include a combination of maximum air flow and efficient fin design. Moreover, one should also check the maximum allowable temperature of the system and the amount of surface area needed for efficient heat transfer. This should be done to ensure that the heat generated does not exceed the maximum allowable operating temperature.

Heat Sink Construction Method

Heat sinks can be constructed using several different methods. Theseinclude extrusion, stamped and spun, die-cast and wireforms. The methodof cooling a heat sink will depend on the application. Extrusion is the method wherein the fin material is heated and forced through a die to form the required shape. Stamped and spun heat sinks are produced by stamping out the necessary fin design from the material and then spinning the material to form the desired shape. Die-casting method involves forming the heat sink from molten material poured into a pre-made mold. The wire form method is cast in the same way as the die-cast method but it is formed from an individual wire instead of injection molded metal.

Advantages of Using Heat Sinks

Heat sinks are a cost effective way to reduce the temperature of electronics and mechanical components. They also provide better thermal efficiency as compared to other cooling methods. Heat sinks are easy to install and require minimal maintenance. Finally, by using the appropriate type of heat sink, you can ensure that you get the most out of your product and make sure it performs at its best.
