Calculation of the Thermal Resistance of a Heat Distributer in the Cooling System of a Heat-Loaded Element

详细

Numerical simulation is performed for heat transfer in a heat distributer of a thermoelectric cooling system, which is located between the heat-loaded element and the thermoelectric module, for matching their sizes and for heat flux equalization. The dependences of the characteristic values of temperature and thermal resistance of the copper and aluminum heat distributer on its thickness and on the size of the heatloaded element. Comparative analysis is carried out for determining the effect of the thermal conductivity of the material and geometrical parameters on the heat resistance. The optimal thickness of the heat distributer depending on the size of the heat-loaded element is determined.
