Thermal Xxxxxxxxxx Considerations - Baseplate Cooling The use of power supplies in harsh or remote environments brings with it many fundamental design issues that must be fully understood if long-term reliability is to be attained. Under these conditions, it is generally accepted that electronic systems have to be sealed against the elements. This makes the removal of unwanted heat particularly difficult. The use of forced-air cooling is undesirable as it increases system size, adds the maintenance issues of cleaning or replacing filters, and the fan being prone to wear out, particularly in tough environments. The extremes of ambient temperature encountered in remote sites can range from -40 ºC to over+40 C. It is common for the temperature within the enclosure to rise some 15 to 20 C above the external temperature. The positioning of the power supply within the enclosure can help minimize the ambient temperature in which it operates and this can have a dramatic effect on system reliability. System enclosures are typically sealed to IP65, IP66 or NEMA 4 standards to prevent ingress of dust or water. Removal of heat from other electronic equipment and power supplies in a situation with negligible airflow is the challenge. From the power system perspective, the most effective solution is to remove the heat using a heatsink that is external to the enclosure. However, most standard power supplies cannot provide an adequate thermal path between the heat-dissipating components within the unit and the external environment. Fundamentally, the successful design of a power supply for use within sealed enclosures relies on creating a path with low thermal resistance through which conducted heat can be passed from heat- generating components to the outside world. The components that generate the most heat in a power supply are distributed throughout the design, from input to output. They include the power FET used in an active PFC circuit, the PFC inductor, power transformers, rectifiers, and power switches. Heat can be removed from these components by thermally connecting them to the base-plate that in turn can be affixed to a heatsink. As mentioned earlier, the heatsink is then located outside of the enclosure. Power transistor Baseplate of power supply PCB Inductor External heatsink Ambient Basic construction of baseplate cooled PSU with all of the major heat-generating components thermally connected to the baseplate Dissipating the Heat: Heatsink Calculations Three basic mechanisms contribute to heat dissipation: conduction, radiation and convection. All mechanisms are active to some degree but once heat is transferred from the baseplate to the heatsink by conduction, free convection is the dominant one. Effective conduction between the baseplate and heatsink demands flat surfaces in order to achieve low thermal resistance. Heat transfer can be maximized by the use of a thermal compound that fills any irregularities on the surfaces. System designers should aim to keep thermal resistance between baseplate and heatsink to below 0.1 C/W. This is the performance offered by most commonly used thermal compounds when applied in accordance with manufacturers instructions. Radiation accounts for less than 10% of heat dissipation and precise calculations are complex. In any case, it is good practice to consider this 10% to be a safety margin. 14

The following example shows how to calculate the heatsink required for an ECC100US12 with 230 VAC input and an output load of 90 W operating in a 40 ºC outside ambient temperature. 1. Calculate the power dissipated as waste heat from the power supply. The efficiency (see fig. 9 & 10) and worst case load figures are used to determine this using the formula: { } x Pout Waste heat = 1 - Eff% = Eff% 1-0.87 { } 0.87 x 90 W = 13.5 W 2. Estimate the impedance of the thermal interface between the power supply baseplate and the heatsink. This is typically 0.1 C/W when using a thermal compound. 3. Calculate the maximum allowable temperature rise on the baseplate. The allowable temperature rise is simply: T B T A where T A is the maximum ambient temperature outside of the cabinet and T B is the maximum allowable baseplate temperature. 4. The required heatsink is defined by its thermal impedance using the formula: θh = T B T A -0.1 = Waste Power 85 ºC 40 ºC 13.5 W -0.1 = 3.23 ºC/W 5. The final choice is then based on the best physical design of heatsink for the application that can deliver the required thermal impedance. The system s construction will determine the maximum available area for contact with the baseplate of the power supply and the available space outside of the enclosure will then determine the size, number and arrangement of cooling fins on the heatsink to meet the dissipation requirement. 10-Sept-12
