Intruduction
Our engineers analyzed the customer's demand when they got it. Since the power is 600W, forced convection must be adopted, and two suitable fans should be selected. Since the customer's space size is relatively small, the fans must have high efficiency and large air volume. At the same time, the heating source is the COB LED where the heat is concentrated, so the heat pipe with high efficiency must be used for local heat distribution and diffusion and heat removal.

Simplified model and heat source in the Pro/E
Parameter setting and meshing are in the software
After the software is run, the air volume pressure is obtained, so as to determine a reference value for the fan resistance impedance in the later period
Also, after the software is run, the speed of the air volume is obtained, so as to determine a reference value for the later fan air volume
Also, after the software is run, the speed of the air volume is obtained, so as to determine a reference value for the later fan air volume
After calculation, the temperature distribution diagram of the heat source within the range of the set module is obtained, and then the engineer can optimize it.
Results
Our engineers use detailed data and accurate meshing CFD software for calculation. By constantly adjusting the data module, heat pipe position, and thickness and spacing of heat sinks fins, we finally designed a heat sink scheme meeting the requirements for the customer. Meanwhile, we have made sample testing and mass production. However, the heat pipe heat sink should be noted that in extreme environment, the liquid inside the heat pipe is easy to freeze and then expand. The location and gravity direction of the main heat pipe are required
