Heat Sink & CPU Cooler Testers

LW-9091 CPU Cooler Thermal Resistance Measurement Apparatus & LW-9221 Multi-Axial Press Load Apparatus

LW-9091 CPU Cooler Thermal Resistance Measurement Apparatus & LW-9221 Multi-Axial Press Load Apparatus simulates a working condition for heat sinks. A controllable dummy heating module is behind the specimen as an IC, and an adjustable press load device is above the specimen as a fixture. By measuring the temperature points in the meter bar, the heat flux and the thermal resistance of specimens can be determined.

 

Apparatus Features

 

1. Modified ASTM D 5470 standard
2. Excellent reproducibility and repeatability
3. Thermal resistance under different loading and temperature
4. Measuring heating power Qh and Tc Temperature
5. Automatic software controls designated testing conditions
6. Automatic data acquisition by PC, and results are outputted and plotted as Excel files

 

Principle

 

The meter bar is made of copper. Heaters are embedded at the bottom of the side of this meter bar. Thermal isolation material wraps this meter bar to reduce heat loss. In this meter bar, there are 3 temperature points, T_u, T_m, T_l. According to Fourier law, the heating power Q and the case temperature of meter bar T_c are determined as following:

X₁: The distance between T_l and T_u, 50mm

A: The heat transfer are fo the meter bar, 25.4 x 25.4 mm²

K_m: The thermal conductivity of the meter bar, 385 Wm/k

X₂: The distance between T_case and T_u
Simplified formula as following:
