Multifunctional heat sinks

In news

Indian Scientists have developed a multifunctional heat sink enabled by 3D printing

Applications
  • It can dissipate heat from mechanical devices at 50 percent enhanced rate compared to conventional sinks.
  • The technology enabled by 3D printing in combination with electroplating was developed to withstand load while dissipating heat.
  • The technology is lightweight and can bear mechanical compressional loads, dissipate heat and absorb sound/noise.
  • It can be used in the electronics cooling, electronics as well as power/cooling industry.
  • Any fan-mounted heat exchanger can benefit from this development.
  • The technology is in third stage of Technology readiness levels (verification with experimental to verify that the concept works as expected)
Heat Sink
  • A heat sink is a component that increases the heat flow away from a hot device. It accomplishes this task by increasing the device's working surface area and the amount of low-temperature fluid that moves across its enlarged surface area.
  • Based on each device's configuration, we find a multitude of heat sink aesthetics, design, and ultimate capabilities.
