Table 5.
Heater‘s temperature change with change of the ambient temperature on different measured heat sinks. The letters in parentheses refer to positions according to Figure 6. The data for the ambient temperature 20 °C are from [12].
Heat Sink | Heater Temperature for Ambient Temperature 20 °C (°C) | Heater Temperature for Ambient Temperature 50 °C (°C) | Difference (°C) |
---|---|---|---|
Aluminum | 65.7 | 95.6 | 29.9 |
Polymer made with melt flow along fins (B) | 69.5 | 97.1 | 27.6 |
Polymer made with melt flow perpendicular to fins (D) | 76.1 | 100.3 | 24.2 |
