Thermal Simulation Speeds Design of Versatile Vertical/Horizontal Heatsink

Thermal Simulation Speeds Design of Versatile Vertical/Horizontal Heatsink

Crane Aerospace & Electronics used Flomerics' Flotherm thermal simulation software to develop an unusual heatsink that works in the vertical or horizontal orientation. The heatsink is for a DC power subsystem for a commercial airliner. Developing an entirely new heatsink geometry that would have met the performance requirements would have taken an enormous amount of time using conventional build and test methods. Instead Crane Mechanical Engineer Mark Resler simulated a range of different heatsink configurations using thermal simulation software. He determined that an unusual design with a plate and standoffs provided the best performance.
