Aluminum Heatsink Profiles
As with all kinds of coolers, the purpose of aluminum coolers is to prevent the accumulation of heat on a surface and to cool the desired surface by spreading the accumulated heat to the environment. The silicon materials from which the semiconductor part of the electronic chips are produced deteriorates at 200 degrees and negatively affects the operation of the chip. For this reason, the chips are cooled to work at the correct temperature values. Coolers used for this are generally produced from aluminum profiles. Aluminum cooler profiles, adhesives that will provide thermal conductivity, and aluminum cooler blocks affixed on the chip quickly spread the heat accumulated in the chip to the environment and keep the chips cold.
Aluminum Heatsink Profile Structure
Aluminum is a metal with a high heat conduction coefficient. For this reason, it quickly spreads the heat on the surface that a surface touches to every corner. The cooling process ensures that the heat accumulated in the aluminum block in the next process is removed with a fluid such as water and air. Fluids such as water, oil and air facilitate the removal of excess heat from the system on the surfaces they constantly contact. The cooling system is named according to the type of fluid used in cooling. Names such as air-cooled, water-cooled, and oil-cooled indicate with which fluid the system is cooled. However, aluminum profiles provide faster cooling. The high heat conduction coefficient ensures that the heat on the contact surface quickly reaches the other end of the profile. In order to increase the cooling speed, leafy designs are made to expand the surface area of the profiles.
What are the Usage Areas of Aluminum Heatsink Profiles?
The most common and well-known usage areas of aluminum cooler profiles are cooling of electronic chipsets. However, apart from this, aluminum casing and cooling profiles are also used for cooling all electronic systems. Aluminum profiles are also used for cooling many systems that get hot while working outside of electronics. One of the most important reasons for preferring aluminum cooler profiles is that they have heat conduction values close to copper, but they are much cheaper. Thanks to the aluminum profile coolers, which can be produced at more affordable prices than copper, the necessary cooling is performed and the systems work better. The working principle of aluminum cooler profiles is based on heat transfer theories and laws. Thanks to the leaf decoration made to expand the surface area, cooling is completed much faster.
