The steps shown here serve as a rough design in development and construction, such as how they can be used, for example, to define a specific cooling concept for devices with heat sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The starting point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A device is to be developed in which, among other things, a heat source (e.g. power electronics) is located. To ensure safe operation, a certain housing temperature should not be exceeded. The outer shape of the device largely resembles a cuboid. The dimensions are already fixed and are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Length: 400 mm<br>Height: 400 mm<br>Width: 500 mm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large custom-flex-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"661\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/pickedshares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Device-preview.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pickedshares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Device-preview.png 661w, https:\/\/pickedshares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Device-preview-300x240.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px\" \/><figcaption>The geometric approximation model for the device is a cuboid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The housing material should be an aluminum alloy with a thickness of 5 mm. The thermal power of the heat source is 600 W. The heat source is arranged in the middle and the air can move freely inside the device. The installation site of the device is calm with a maximum ambient temperature of 30 \u00b0 C. It is largely accessible from all sides, i.e. it does not stand on a surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following questions arise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A) Can a maximum case temperature of 40 \u00b0 C be maintained?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B) Do constructive measures for cooling have to be provided?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following approach assumes an equal distributed heat to all surfaces of the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checking the heat flows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The device will heat up during operation until the equilibrium between the output and input heat is achieved, i.e. it is then a stationary heat transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To simplify the calculation, the first step is to estimate how large the power emitted by thermal radiation is. Since a specific operating point is given with the maximum permissible housing temperature, the heat flow through radiation can be calculated for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thermal radiation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The equation for calculating the radiant heat is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/mathjax\/2.7.7\/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML\" async=\"async\">  \/\/ A comment that hinders wxWidgets from optimizing this tag too much.\n<\/script>\n<p>\\[ P_R = \\epsilon \\cdot \\sigma \\cdot A \\cdot T^4 \\]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The emission figures for the housing material at the temperature to be considered are therefore required.

To do this, the inside temperature must be higher than the outside temperature. It is a heat transfer through a flat wall, which can be calculated according to the following equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/mathjax\/2.7.7\/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML\" async=\"async\">  \/\/ A comment that hinders wxWidgets from optimizing this tag too much.\n<\/script>\n<p>\\[ P_{total} = k \\cdot A \\cdot \\left( T_i - T_o \\right) \\]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>T<sub>i<\/sub> is the inside temperature, T<sub>o<\/sub> the outside temperature. The term kA is calculated from the sum of the individual resistances; here it must again be taken into account that the heat transfer coefficients can assume minimum and maximum values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/mathjax\/2.7.7\/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML\" async=\"async\">  \/\/ A comment that hinders wxWidgets from optimizing this tag too much.\n<\/script>\n<p>\\[ \\frac{1}{k \\cdot A} = \\frac{1}{\\alpha_i A} + \\frac{\\delta}{\\lambda A} + \\frac{1}{\\alpha_o A} \\]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/pickedshares.com\/waermeleitwerte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">thermal conductivity for aluminum<\/a> is approx. 200 W \/ (mK), \u03b4 is the wall thickness of the housing wall with 5 mm. With these values, the following possible internal temperatures result, particularly depending on the heat transfer coefficient<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/mathjax\/2.7.7\/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML\" async=\"async\">  \/\/ A comment that hinders wxWidgets from optimizing this tag too much.\n<\/script>\n<p>\\[ T_i = 79\u00b0C ... 303\u00b0C \\]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether these values are permissible depends on what is supposed to happen inside the device. In the case of electronic components, values of 65 \u00b0 C should not be exceeded, i.e. in this case active cooling, i.e. possibly a fan, would have to be used in any case. If a fan is used, the cooling fins described above could then also be dispensed with, in particular since the movement of air on the inner wall of the housing results in a more favorable heat transfer coefficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Determination of the required air flow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes sense to also set a limit value for the temperature of the exhaust air. As an approximation to the maximum permissible surface temperature, 50\u00b0 C is selected here. This means that the temperature range for the removal of heat is 20 K. With the specific heat capacity of c<sub>p<\/sub> = 1.001 kJ \/ (kgK) and a density of \u03c1 = 1.293 kg \/ m<sup>3<\/sup> for air (one could still look more closely here depending on the air humidity perform) the following volume flow results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/mathjax\/2.7.7\/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML\" async=\"async\">  \/\/ A comment that hinders wxWidgets from optimizing this tag too much.\n<\/script>\n<p>\\[ P_{total} = \\dot{V} \\cdot \\rho \\cdot c_p \\cdot \\Delta T \\]<\/p>\n<p>\\[ \\dot{V} = 0.023 \\frac{m^3}{s} \\]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming a fan diameter of 150 mm, the flow velocity is thus v = 1.3 m \/ s. These values are within a reasonable range, especially since it is to be expected that not all of the heat output has to be dissipated via the fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This completes the rough determination of the thermal conditions. The required temperatures can be maintained if active air cooling with a fan is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A simulation calculation should be used for more detailed considerations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> ... <a title=\"Thermal design calculation\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/pickedshares.com\/en\/thermal-design-calculation\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Thermal design calculation\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4259,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-engineering-and-design","category-how-to","infinite-scroll-item","masonry-post","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thermal design calculation &#8226;
