构建热阻网络模型

简短回答:热阻网络模型将热源与环境空气之间的每一层视为串联和并联的电阻,单位为°C/W。您将结到壳、界面、扩散、基板传导、翅片传导和对流热阻相加,得到总θJA。对于典型的50 mm挤压铝散热器在静止空气中,对流项占主导,约为1.5–3.0 °C/W,而良好的热界面仅增加0.1–0.4 °C/W。先构建模型,然后确定散热器尺寸——BQUQ在12个工作小时内报价定制散热器。

为什么要费心构建热阻网络?

项目进度中的大多数热问题不是通过购买更大的散热器来解决的。而是通过了解堆叠中哪一层实际发热来解决的。热阻网络将模糊的“运行发热”抱怨转化为您可以攻击的数字。

这个概念借鉴自电路。热流(瓦特)是电流,温差(°C)是电压,热阻(°C/W)是电阻。欧姆定律变为ΔT = Q × θ。一旦绘制网络,您就可以立即看到瓶颈是界面材料、散热器基板、翅片还是周围的空气。

跳过此步骤的工程师通常会过度指定散热器而低估界面,或反之。这两种错误都会增加成本。网络模型构建需要一小时,通常可以节省数周的原型迭代。

基本串联网络

最简单有用的模型是从结到环境的串联链:

元件符号典型值备注
结到壳θJC0.2–1.5 °C/W来自器件数据表
壳到散热器(TIM)θCS0.1–0.8 °C/W取决于导热膏、垫片或粘合剂
散热器基板扩散θspread0.05–0.5 °C/W随着源面积小而快速增长
散热器到环境θSA0.3–5.0 °C/W大多数设计中的主导项

总结到环境热阻是总和:

θJA = θJC + θCS + θspread + θSA

然后结温为:

TJ = TA + (Q × θJA)

如果您的器件耗散15 W,环境温度为40 °C,θJA为3.0 °C/W,则结温为85 °C。如果数据表限制为125 °C,您有裕量——但前提是链中的每个热阻都是现实的。乐观的界面数值是最常见的误差来源。

串联模型失效的地方

串联模型假设所有热量通过一条路径流动。实际上,一些热量通过PCB铜箔离开,一些辐射,一些传导到外壳。对于安装在小封装上且PCB热路径较差的散热器,串联模型是保守的——它高估了θJA,这通常是可以接受的。对于焊接在大铜平面上的器件,PCB是并联路径,忽略它会使模型悲观10–30%。

建模散热器本身

散热器热阻θSA不是一个单一数字。它是基板传导、扩散、翅片传导和对流的子网络。将其拆分出来是模型发挥作用的地方。

扩散热阻

热量通过小 footprint 进入基板,然后横向扩散。如果源远小于基板,扩散热阻变得显著。根据经验,当源面积小于基板面积的约20%时,铝基板上的扩散热阻可能超过0.3 °C/W。

存在两种修复方法。首先,在源下方局部加厚基板——硬币、凸台或 pedestal。其次,基板改用铜。铜的热导率约为400 W/m·K,而常见的6063铝合金为200 W/m·K,因此对于相同几何形状,铜基板或铜嵌件可将扩散热阻大致减半。铜散热器和铜基铝翅片设计正是出于这个原因而存在。您可以在我们的散热器产品页面上查看选项。

翅片传导和翅片效率

沿着每个翅片,温度从基板到尖端下降。翅片效率是实际散热量与整个翅片处于基板温度时会散发的热量之比。长而薄的翅片效率低;短而厚的翅片效率高,但能容纳的数量较少。

翅片参数对效率的影响实际限制
翅片高度随高度降低在静止空气中超过约30–40 mm时效率降至80%以下
翅片厚度随厚度增加挤压型材通常为1.0–2.0 mm
翅片热导率随k增加铝200 W/m·K,铜约400 W/m·K
翅片间距影响对流,不影响传导自然对流为6–12 mm

对于自然对流,翅片间距是最常被优化不当的参数。太紧,边界层合并,阻塞流动。太松,浪费基板面积。我们关于自然对流翅片间距的文章详细介绍了这种权衡。

对流和辐射热阻

对流热阻是h × A的倒数,其中h是传热系数,A是有效表面积。在静止空气中,h通常为5–10 W/m²·K。在2–3 m/s的强制空气下,h升至25–50 W/m²·K。这个单一系数通常会使θSA变化三倍或更多。

对于阳极氧化或涂漆表面,在中等温度下,辐射约占总耗散的10–25%,而对于裸露的光亮铝,由于发射率低,辐射较少。黑色阳极氧化将发射率提高到约0.8,这是许多散热器即使不担心腐蚀也采用这种处理的原因之一。

一个工作示例

考虑一个20 W负载,45 °C环境温度,目标结温低于110 °C。这留下了65 °C的预算。

热阻(°C/W)20 W时的ΔT(°C)
θJC0.408.0
θCS(导热膏,0.1 mm)0.153.0
θspread(基板80 × 80 mm)0.204.0
θSA(自然对流)2.5050.0
总计3.2565.0

结果正好落在110 °C目标上,这意味着没有裕量。要获得裕量,您要么通过强制空气降低θSA,要么增大散热器,要么减少负载。进一步降低θCS几乎无意义——它已经仅占总量的4.6%。

这就是模型的实用价值:它告诉您在哪里不要花费精力。导热膏的选择很重要,但只在一定程度上。我们关于导热膏选择的指南解释了为什么θCS改善0.05 °C/W很少改变结果,而θSA改善0.5 °C/W通常会改变结果。

并联路径和实际修正

实际组件具有并联热路径。最常见的是PCB、安装硬件和外壳。

PCB作为并联电阻

焊接到铜平面上的器件将热量传导到板中。在表面贴装设计中,该路径可承载总热量的10–40%。在网络中,它表现为与散热器支路并联的电阻。忽略它会使模型保守;包括它需要估计板的热导率,这是各向异性的且难以测量。

一种务实的方法:首先构建串联模型,然后如果器件具有大铜焊盘且板未热隔离,则应用0.8–0.9的修正因子。

界面热阻不是恒定的

热界面热阻取决于压力、粘合层厚度和表面平整度。挤压到0.05 mm的导热膏层可能给出0.08 °C/W;同样的导热膏在0.15 mm时可能给出0.25 °C/W。仅组装压力就有三倍的波动。

对于粘合或粘合剂安装的散热器,粘合剂本身成为界面。粘合翅片和背胶设计以一定的热性能换取机械简单性和低成本。如果您的模型假设0.1 °C/W,但粘合剂提供0.5 °C/W,则整个计算无效。

从模型到制造零件

热模型只有在您收到的零件与您建模的几何形状匹配时才有用。三个制造细节经常破坏模型:

翅片厚度公差。挤压型材将壁厚保持在约±0.1 mm以内,这没问题。铲削和粘合翅片可能变化更大。我们的铲削工艺概述解释了限制所在。

基板平整度。不平整的基板会产生厚而不均匀的界面层。CNC加工基板可以将平整度保持在0.05 mm范围内,从而保持界面薄且可预测。请参阅CNC加工散热器了解如何控制这一点。

表面光洁度和发射率。阳极氧化表面的辐射远优于裸露的铣削表面。如果您的模型包含辐射项,则表面处理必须与假设匹配。

常见问题解答

问:小型挤压散热器的典型θJA是多少?

答:对于50 × 50 × 25 mm的挤压铝散热器在静止空气中,总θSA通常在2.5至4.5 °C/W之间。添加一个2 m/s的小风扇可以将其降至0.8–1.5 °C/W。确切值在很大程度上取决于翅片间距、基板厚度以及周围外壳是否限制气流。始终测量或模拟,而不是假设目录编号。

问:手工计算的热阻网络有多准确?

答:当几何形状简单且气流定义明确时,手工计算通常与测量结果相差15–25%以内。在外壳中、有多个热源或辐射显著时,准确性会降低。将网络视为尺寸工具,而不是最终答案,并在投入生产模具之前用热电偶或热像仪验证所选设计。

问:铜散热器总是优于铝吗?

答:不。铜的导热性约好两倍,但密度约大三倍,且贵得多。当扩散热阻占主导时,例如在大基板上的小热源,铜胜出。铝在成本、重量和可挤压性方面胜出。铜基铝翅片设计以一小部分重量获得了大部分扩散优势。

问:如何建模带风扇的散热器?

答:用强制对流值替换自然对流系数,通常在2–3 m/s气流下为25–50 W/m²·K。然后添加风扇自身的热和可靠性考虑。优化自然对流的翅片间距对于强制空气通常太宽;当空气流动时,更紧密的翅片和更大的表面积表现更好。

问:我需要发送哪些信息来获取散热器报价?

答:发送热负载、环境温度、可用空间、安装方法以及任何气流数据。草图或STEP文件有帮助。BQUQ在12个工作小时内返回报价,灵活的MOQ意味着您可以在承诺批量之前订购原型数量。将您的需求发送电子邮件至sc@bquq.com。
