Inverter heat sinks
Extruded aluminium is superior to other metals as a heat dissipater based on its cost, weight and formability.
Superior heat dissipation
The cooling efficiency of a heat sink depends on the material and on the quality of the heat sink’s fins. XIAMEN GREAT ZHOU CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO.,LTD. aluminium structures optimise their performance. Extruded aluminium outperforms cast aluminium due to its higher thermal conductivity, which is twice as effective, and copper due to its lower weight.
Narrow fins for high efficiency
Heat dissipation also depends on the shape and design of the cooling fins. XIAMEN GREAT ZHOU CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO.,LTD. heat sinks offer high heat dissipation efficiency due to their narrow fins that are closely spaced and made with a very high precision.
Favourable price per kg
Despite a higher price per kilogram, aluminium heat sinks offer a better total economy than steel heat sinks. A favourable heat dissipation efficiency combined with the low density of aluminium minimises the amount of material needed and reduces total weight. Space can be freed up for more components in the cabinet, translating into a higher power output. Thus, the cost per kilowatt is comparable or lower than using steel coolers. |
