Thermal Solutions Check List

Application Considerations & Design Concepts When deciding upon an appropriate solution for a thermal application it is necessary at outset to determine as close as possible, the thermal performance requirements of the system in terms of W / °C. CRS Engineering will be pleased to assist with an inital stage study of your application without obligation. To enable us to assist you with your requirement, we have prepared the following information check list, please answer as many of the following questions as possible.

Information Check List

1. What is the maximum amount of heat energy which needs to be transferred or dissipated in watts?
2. What is the maximum allowable temperature of the component to be cooled in °C?
3. How is the system intended to be cooled, i.e. forced air cooled, naturally convected air cooling, water cooled etc.
4. What is the maximum and minimum ambient temperature of the cooling medium?

Need to use Heat-pipes?

5. If using Heat-pipes, will the operational position of the Heat-pipe horizontal, vertical or inclined?
6. Will the Heat-pipes be required to be straight or bent to some particular form?
7. Are there any fixtures to Heat-pipe required, i.e. input and / or output mounting blocks, direct attatchment fin package
water cooling jackets, thermocouples, mounting flanges, fans blowers etc?
8. Any other special features for consideration, i.e. special materials of construction, zero gravity or high acceleration etc?

Additional Information?

9. Is there a sketch or drawing of the intended arrangement or photograph of existing equipment available?
10. Any other information which may be of assistance?
