Flat and U-Shaped Heat Spreaders for High-Power Electronics

To achieve a high heat-flux level and reduce manufacturing costs associated with conventional heat pipes, the concept of network heat spreaders employing a boiling heat-transfer mechanism in a narrow space had been proposed, and several flat-plate wickless heat spreaders had been designed and fabricated. The heat spreaders had been tested under different working conditions and orientations relative to gravity with very good results. The previously tested network heat spreaders, however, were based on plates with a relatively large size for general heat spreading purposes. In the present study, network heat spreaders with overall dimensions of 78 2 62 2 3.2 mm are designed and fabricated. Spreaders of this size are intended for use as heat sinks of high-power electronic components. External cooling fins are attached to enhance air-cooling heat transfer rate. The network heat spreaders are tested under various working conditions with water as the working fluid. The maximum heat input rate achieved is about 150 W with a corresponding heat flux of 60 W/cm 2 . Compared to the performance of a solid copper plate having the same overall size as the spreader, the maximum temperature difference over the surface is reduced from about 32°C to 3.3°C. The heat transfer performance of the spreader is also largely dependent on the filling ratio of the working fluid and the boiling heat transfer in the narrow space. For these reasons, boiling heat transfer mechanisms in a narrow space are analyzed, and a spreader design that would improve the performance in a horizontal position is described.     

单元式露点蒸发冷却装置的实验研究

本研究设计了一台由干、湿通道相结合的单元式露点蒸发冷却装置,通过实验研究了蒸发冷却装置在空气经过一级冷却的模式1和经过二级冷却的模式2两种运行模式下,不同空气入口参数时的换热效果。实验结果表明,空气的入口温度越高,换热效果越好;低湿度时空气的进出口温差比高湿度时大,但其湿球效率和露点效率反而较低,这说明2种效率并不适用于不同湿度间的冷却效果对比;模式2运行时的换热效果比模式1好。与已有研究成果对比表明,该单元式露点蒸发冷却装置的湿球效率和露点效率分别可以达到120%和88%,为露点蒸发冷却装置的优化设计提供理论依据和优化方向。

Optimal Ground Tube Length for Cooling of Electronics Shelters

This paper presents a theoretical, numerical, and experimental study to investigate the possibility of optimizing the configuration (geometry) of underground heat exchangers for maximum heat transfer. The first part of the study identifies a novel fundamental optimization principle for maximizing heat transfer between a tube and its surroundings, which is expected to be present in any buried tube heat exchanger design. The second part presents a practical application of the fundamental principle: a simplified physical model to determine the temperature field inside an electronics shelter that uses an earth-air heat exchanger and the soil as a heat sink. A volume elements methodology is employed to obtain a system of ordinary differential equations with time as the independent variable that combines principles of classical thermodynamics and heat transfer. This allows the computation of the temperature and relative humidity fields at every instant inside the shelter. The numerical results obtained with the proposed model are validated by means of direct comparison with experimental temperature and relative humidity measurements. It is shown that the tube length can be optimized such that the maximum temperature reached inside the shelter is minimal. The results also demonstrate the potential of the utilization of buried tubes for cooling electronic packages. Since accuracy and low computational time are combined, the model is shown to be efficient and could be used as a tool for simulation, design, and optimization of electronic packages cooled by underground heat exchangers.

A Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Based System-Level Thermal Modeling Methodology for Shipboard Power Electronics Cabinets

A system-level thermal modeling methodology for shipboard power-electronics cabinets is presented and demonstrated for a PCM-1 cabinet, a complex air-to-water-cooled cabinet design of interest to naval applications. The cabinet is completely sealed and the heat dissipation in the power electronics bays is removed from the cabinet by re-circulating the hot air through an air-to-water-cooled packaged heat exchanger that is served by an external fresh water loop. A detailed unit-wise analytical model is developed for the packaged heat exchanger used in the cabinet. Under the prescribed design parameters, the PCM-1 cabinet operating-point air circulation rate was established to be 0.434 m³/s (920 CFM). A compact model is developed for the air convection within the cabinet using 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics/Heat Transfer (CFD/HT) simulations in conjunction with Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD)-based reduced order modeling techniques. The compact model runs about 350 times faster with a mean prediction error within 3.6% for the velocity field, 0.04% for the temperature field, and 0.15% for the pressure field. The resulting overall cabinet model can be integrated into a system-level modeling platform to simulate the thermal response of multiple cabinets. The CFD/HT simulations of the PCM-1 cabinet architecture suggest that its two uppermost bays would experience high air temperatures due to insufficient local air flow.

Thermomagnetic Convection in Square and Shallow Enclosures for Electronics Cooling

Combined temperature and magnetic field gradients established in ferrofluids induce thermomagnetic convection. We report a comparative numerical analysis of steady-state convection carried out for a square and a shallow enclosure under zero-gravity conditions. Two symmetrically placed, discrete, constant-flux flush-mounted heaters on the bottom wall of the cavities represent power-dissipating devices in electronics/MEMS applications. The sidewalls serve as heat sinks. A line dipole placed below the bottom wall is the field-source. The role of the magnetic field, the thermal boundary conditions, and the enclosure dimensions in influencing heat transfer are revealed through a comparative thermal-fluidic analysis in different convection-dominated operational regimes.
