Thinking Outside the Box, Cooling in the Box
Cooling IGBTs using traditional air-cooled heat sinks
Optimized fin design of the existing design to maximize airflow and fin efficiency
Simulated the design with different material variations to minimize the cost of manufacturing whilst maintaining thermal performance
Designing for manufacturability
Periodic design meetings with the client and the manufacturing team to ensure all stakeholders are confident in the design, its performance, and manufacturability within the client’s budgeted cost
Results
Cooling all high flux designs
Matched the thermal performance of the existing heat sink
Improved cost and quality of manufactured equipment
Provided thermal maps for better understanding of heat spread across the heat sinks
Improved fin design to maximize performance
