A kind of vaporation-cooling radiating structure of power device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the radiator structure of various power devices, particularly adopt the device heat radiation of evaporative cooling self-circulation system.
Background technology
Along with the continuous increase of power device capacity, to the more and more higher requirement of usefulness proposition of radiator.The weak link that heat dissipation technology has become high power device to further develop is so paid attention to more and more widely the cooling of device.Whether semiconductor device can normally work, and except that the quality of device itself, depends on also that to a great extent device cooperates with the reasonable of radiator.Power device rises junction temperature owing to producing thermal losses in the knot in working order down, if method that need not be suitable is dissipated to the outside with this heat waste, junction temperature will be too high, thereby power device is damaged, and therefore, must consider the cooling of power device usually.The type of cooling of device can be divided into natural cooling, forced air cooling, liquid cools, boiling cooling four big classes.
Natural cooling is the radiating mode of heat being taken away by natural convection air and radiation effects.The characteristics of this cooling are that radiating efficiency is low, and the volume of unit power is big, be applicable to usually rated current below 20A device or the high-current device in the simple mechanism.
Forced air cooling is mainly used in the device of current rating at 50A to 500A, air-cooled characteristics are radiating efficiency height, are 2~4 times of natural cooling, but will adopt air cooling, will be equipped with blower fan, thereby noise occur and suck dust, difficult in maintenance, shortcoming such as reliability is low relatively greatly, easily.
The liquid cools mainly coolant of usefulness is water or oil.The cooling effectiveness of water-cooled is high, and its convection transfer rate equals 150~300 times of air nature heat exchange coefficient.Replace air-cooledly with water-filled radiator, can improve the capacity of device greatly.This radiator generally is used for the device of current capacity more than 500A, because the insulation property of water are very poor, and can galvano-cautery and leaky occur under high voltage, voltage is high more, and then galvanic corrosion phenomenon is more serious, needs to take extra corrosion protection measure sometimes.Therefore concerning high-pressure installation, its cooling water must be handled by spent ion exchange resin, adopts complicated circulation simultaneously.
The radiating efficiency of oil cooling water-cooled and air-cooled between, its coolant adopts transformer oil mostly, when oil immersion free convection was cooled off, thermal transmission coefficient only was 1/10 of a water-cooled.Oil viscosity is big, needs bigger circulation power, and burning easily.
The boiling cooling has high cooling effectiveness, and the heat transfer efficiency of boiling cooling is than the high several times of oil cooling, and is higher tens times than air cooling, also surpasses water-cooled.Therefore, the volume ratio of boiling cooling device is but much smaller with self-cooling set with the capacity oil cooling.
The cooling effect of immersion type boiling cooling is fabulous, changes the device difficulty, though the effect difference of non-steeped formula cooling, it is very convenient to change device.
Chinese patent CN200320129492.1 " device for high-power power electronic evaporation-cooled device ", proposing the power power electronic device is the outer panel surface that power model is installed in the evaporative cooling case, the heat that produces during power model work reaches the evaporative cooling case that contacts with module, cooling fluid heat absorption in the case, the boiling cooling.Its heat-transfer effect is better, but its structure exists sealing (easily cause the dielectric leakage of system, it is safe and reliable to influence device) and the big problem of dielectric dissipation amount.F-11 3 will be stopped using after 2010, and new coolant price comparison costliness, the consumption of medium will influence promoting the use of of this patent.
