AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

They can solve the heat dissipation problem of high-power devices to a certain extent, but there are the following disadvantages: (1) fan + heat sink, in order to enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the heat dissipation device, only by increasing the area of ​​heat dissipation fins and increasing the fan speed, resulting in The result is that the noise is large, the heat sink is large and heavy, which is not conducive to installation and will generate a lot of pressure on electronic devices; (2) fan + heat pipe + radiator can solve the shortcomings in method 1, but it will increase the mechanism itself. The complexity, design and installation of heat pipes are often limited by the actual structure, and under the action of limited heat pipes, its heat dissipation capacity is still limited; 3) Liquid cooling technology, which surpasses the above two methods in performance, and liquid cooling heat dissipation technology The potential of liquid cooling technology is very high, but liquid cooling technology has defects such as extremely complicated mechanism, easy oxidation during long-term operation, the need to add a pump to drive the circulation of liquid working medium, and currently there is no way to completely ensure that the pipeline connection does not leak, etc., which will affect the liquid cooling technology. The actual service life of the cooling device, and the cost of the liquid cooling device is the highest, and the cost of the same cooling capacity is more than 3 times that of the ordinary heat pipe radiator

Finally, due to the heat dissipation of high-power IGBT power modules, several kilowatts of heat are generated on an area of ​​about tens of square centimeters, and the heat flux density is very high. However, the existing loop heat pipe heat dissipation structure has not been able to deeply explore such technologies heat dissipation potential

[0008] This shows that the above-mentioned existing high-power power electronic device cooling device obviously still has inconvenience and defects in structure and use, and needs to be further improved urgently.
