Description
FIN-DIFFUSER HEAT SINK WITH HIGH CONDUCTIVITY HEAT SPREADER
BACKGROUND
Electronics devices may be air-cooled or liquid-cooled, depending on their applications. To facilitate packaging, elecfl-onics devices are typically contained within rectangular enclosures which are cooled using externally-located blowers and linear heat sinks that are readily compatible with rectangular plan-forms. In a typical enclosure, the spatial layout of various power clectronics components result in highly non-uniform heat flux profiles that include hot spots that drive the sizing requirements of cooling equipment. An integrated fin-diffuser may be used to cool the electronics device. However, the air flow directly underneath a blower of the fin-diffuser is generally low, making the placement of a hot spot underneath the blower troublesome.
SUMMARY
According to one embodiment of the present invention a method of cooling a heat source includes: coupling an integrated fin-difftiser to a hcat spreader to form a cooling assembly; coupling the cooling assembly to the heat source; and spreading heat from the heat source generated proximate a blower of the fin-diffuser to a location away from the blower to cool the heat source.
According to another embodiment, an apparatus for cooling a heat source includes: a fin-diffuser comprising a blower integrated with fins of a diffuser; and a hcat spreader coupled to the fin-diffuser, wherein the heat spreader is configured to spread heat from a location proximate the blower to a location of the fins.
According to another embodiment, a cooling assembly includes: a fin-diffuser comprising a blower integrated with fins of a diffuser; and a heat spreader coupled to thc fin-diffuser, wherein the heat spreader is configured to spread heat from a location proximate the blower to a location of the fins.
Additional features and advantages are realized through the techniques of the present invention. Other embodiments and aspects of the invention are described in detail herein and are considered a part of the claimed invention. For a better understanding of the invention with the advantages and the features, refer to the description and to the drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS
The subject matter which is regarded as thc invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The forgoing and other features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: Figurc 1 shows an exemplary cooling assembly in one embodiment of the present in venti on; Figure 2 shows details of an exemplary heat spreader of the cooling assembly; Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a heat spreader with capillary wick heat pipes including an oscillating heat pipe; Figure 4 shows an alternative cmbodiment of a heat spreader that includes a radial oscillating heat pipe; Figure 5 shows the illustrative cooling assembly of Figure 1 as used in another embodiment; Figure 6 shows a cooling assembly as used in another illustrative embodiment; and Figure 7 shows a three-dimensional heat spreading device for diffusing heat using the cooling assembly of the present invention.
DETAI LED DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 shows an exemplary cooling assembly 100 in one embodiment of the present invention. The exemplary cooling assembly 100 includes a fin-diffuser 102 that includes a cooling fan or blower 104 that is integrated with diffuser fins 106. The integration of the blower 104 with the diffuser fins 106 generally places the blower 104 at a same level as the diffuser tins 106 rather than sitting on top of or below the diffttser fins 106. The blower 104 receives air from above the fin-diffuser 102 at inlet 108 and blows the air through the diffuser fins 106 in a generally radially-outward direction 110 through channels defined by the fins 106 to cool the fins 106. The fins 106 receive heat from a heat source such as electronics base 120. The air from the blower 104 therefore transfers the heat away from the fins 106 to cool the fins 106 and thereby to cool the electronics base 120.
Due to the design of the cooling assembly 100, with the blower 104 directing the air in a radially-outward direction 110, the air flow directly underneath the blower 104 is generally low. Consequently, heat transfer underneath the blower 104 is siguifleantly lower than heat transfer in the channels of the diffuser fins 106. If the incoming heat flux from the heat source 120 is uniform over the cntire base of the fin-diffuser 102, or worse, is concentratcd underneath the blower 104, a significant and undesirable hot spot occurs underneath the blower 104. This may limit the use and placement of fin-diffuser heat sink to only certain configurations.
In order to reduce the development or effect of a hot spot below the blower 104 and to thereby enable heat sink placement irrespective of the heat source location, the present invention provides a heat spreader 112 coupled to a base of the fin-diffuser 102. The heat spreader 112 is configured to transfer heat from a location underneath the blower 104 to a relative extremity of the fin-diffuser 102 (i.e., the fins 106). Additionally, the heat spreader may provide uniform heat flux rejection to the base of fins given multiple concentrated heat sources. The magnitude of the hot spot is directly impacted by the thermal spreading capability of the heat spreader 112. Therefore, high thermal conductivity materials, such as copper, may he used in various embodiments. Other materials used in the heat spreader 112 have a high thermal conductivity which achieve an effective thermal conductivity > 1000 W/mK.
Electronics base 120 is coupled to the heat spreader 112. The electronics base 120 includes several components 122, 124 and 126 that are local generators of heat. Component 124 is located directly underneath the blower 104. Heat spreader 112 therefore transfers heat from component 124 laterally to the diffuser fins 106, thereby improving an efficiency of the cooling assembly 100.
In addition to employing the thermal conductivity of the material to spread heat from the components 122, 124 and 126, a variety of passive, two-phase heat transfer devices can also he used to increase the thermal spreading, as discussed below with respect to Figure 2-4. In other embodiments, the heat source may be remote from the cooling assembly 100 and heat from the heat source may be carried to the cooling assembly via one or more heat pipes or heat conductors.
Figure 2 shows details of an exemplary heat spreader 200 of the cooling assembly.
The exemplary heat spreader 200 includes a vapor chamber 202 which contains a working fluid 204 therein. The vapor chamber 202 includes a bottom surface 206 that is thermally coupled to heat source 215 and an upper surface 208 that is thermally coupled to the fin-diffuser 102 (see Figure 1). For illustrative purposes, the heat source 215 is centrally located along the bottom surface 206 and is therefore beneath the blower 104 of the fin-diffuser 102.
The working fluid 204 in the vapor chamber 202 is evaporated and/or boiled by the heat supplied at the bottom surface 206 by the heat source 215. The evaporated working fluid 204 rises to transfer the heat to upper surface 208. The working fluid 204 may then move laterally along the upper surface 208 to spread the heat along the upper surface 208, thereby spreading the heat from a location beneath the blower 102 one or more locations proximate S the diffuser fins 106. In other words, the vapor chamber 200 spreads the heat from a smail concentrated input area (i.e., heat source 215) over a large area (i.e., tile area of the upper surface 208) with substantially uniform heat flux distribution. The vapor chamber 200 may include a wick structure 210 which may be a micro-pillared wick structure, sintered copper particles, copper mesh or niieropillars that facilitates a flow loop of the working fluid 204 inside the vapor chamber 202 during its evaporation and condensation.
Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a heat spreader 300 within capillary wick heat pipes including an oscillating heat pipe (OHP). The heat spreader 300 may include a thermally conductive material 302 and an integrated OHP 304. The integrated OIIP 304 may be coupled to a surface of the thermally conductive material 302 or may be embedded within the thermally conductive material 302 in various embodiments. Ihe oscillating heat pipe 304 generally includes a serpentine channel with capillary dimensions. A two-phase fluid, e.g., water and its vapor, is generally enclosed in the serpentine channel. Heating the channel at or near a heat source location causes the vapor phase of the fluid to expand, thus increasing pressure and to push the second phase of the fluid throughout the channels. Also, cooling the channel at or near the heat rejection surface causes the vapor phase pressure to reduce. The pressure fluctuations in the parallel channels lead to oscillations of the liquid and vapor phases, thus transferring heat from the heat source to the heat rejection surface through latent heat of the liquid phase and through spatial heat transport by oscillations.
Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment of a heat spreader 400 that includes a radial OHP 404. The radiaJ OI1P 404 may be integrated with a thermally conductive material 402 either via surface attachment or embedding, in various embodiments. The radial OUP 404 transfers heat according to the same physical mechanism described above with respect to Figure 3. First phase 410 and second phase 412 of the fluid enclosed in the channel of the radial OIIP 404 are shown in Figure 4. The radial OHP 404 is designed so that the channel forms radial spokes 406. Therefore, heat may be spread from a central hot spot 415 to radial extremities of the heat spreader 400 via the radial OHP 404. In one aspect of the present invention, the OHP spokes 406 may be centered at hot spot 415. Referring back to Figure 1.
the radial OIIP 404 may he disposed on the heat spreader 400 at a location underneath the blower 1 04. Alternately, the radial OHP 404 may be disposed at a location of the heat spreader 400 proximate a concentrated heat source, such as any of the components 122, 124 and 126, even at the components 122 and 126 that are off-center from the blower 104.
Figure 5 shows the illustrative cooling assembly 100 of Figure 1 as used in another embodiment. The cooling assembly electronics base 120 is off to a side of the cooling assembly 100. The heat-generating components 122, 124 and 126 of the electronics base 120 are thermally coupled to a heat pipe or other conductive material that transfers thc heat to location 504 proximate the heat spreader 112 of the cooling assembly. The heat spreader di fiuses the heat as discussed above.
Figure 6 shows a cooling assen1hly 600 as used in another illustrative embodiment. The blower 624 and diffuser fins 626 are sandwiched between heat spreaders 620 and 622. Electronics base 602 having heat-generating components 602, 604 and 606 are coupled to the heat spreader 620. Electronics base 610 having heat-generating components 612 and 614 are coupled to heat spreader 622. An air vent 605 or suitable gap in the electronics base 610 allows air to be sucked into the blower 624 so that it can be circulated out through the diffuser tins. Thus, the cooling assembly 600 may perform cooling of components on opposite sides of the blower 624 and diffuser fins 626.
Figure 7 shows a three-dimensional heat spreading device 700 for diffusing heat using the cooling assembly of the present invention. Electronic bases 702 include various heat-generating elements 704 therein. The electronic bases have oscillating heat pipes 71 0 integrated therein, such as the oscillating heat pipes described with respect to Figures 3 and 4 which provide a closed ioop for the fluid flowing therein. In general, each electronic base 702 may have one heat pipe 710 therein. However, in other embodiments, more than one heat pipe may be enclosed in the electronic base 702. The oscillating heat pipe 710 may have segments 7lOa within the electronic base 702 and segments 71 Ob that are in a plane at an angle to the electronic base. In one embodiment. seguients 710b are substantially perpendicular to the segments 71 Oa. The segments 71 Oa direct heat in a direction normal to a surface of the of the heat spreader 706 in order to cool heat-generating elements 704 that are out of the plane of the heat spreader 706. The segments 71 Ob are thermally coupled to a heat spreader 706. In turn, the heat spreader 706 is coupled to a blower and fin-diffuser assembly such as shown in Figure 1. Therefore, a cooling assembly may be used to dissipate heat from heat-generating elements arranged in a three-dimensional structure.
