Study on The Heat Dissipation Performance of LED Array Using Thermal Circuit Method
According to the heat dissipation characteristics of a project lamp with high power LED array
the physical model of key structures for heat dissipation was established. And some mathematic models
which can express correctly the heat conduction and natural convection performance of above physical model
were selected based on equivalent thermal circuit method. Using these models
the heat dissipation performance of LED array was calculated in EXCEL software following the specified calculation procedure in this paper. Through comparison between the calculated temperature and the measured data obtained by infrared thermal imager
the calculation error of mean temperature is as low as +1.08%
so the validity of thermal circuit method is satisfactory for the given LED model. Subsequently
the influence trends of three key structural parameters on heat dissipation were analyzed separately in detail. The results show that heat dissipation performance can be improved obviously with an optimum fin spacing about 5 mm
and a higher fin height or a thinner fin thickness all can obtain a lower junction temperature
however
the best values of fin height (24 mm) and fin thickness (1~2 mm) should be determined to satisfy the demands of weight reduction
low-cost and manufacturability. Therefore
thermal circuit method can be effectively applied to thermal analysis and parameters optimization with the advantage of accuracy and swiftness.
