The main portions of the heat sinks are the fins that help in
the dissipation of heat. The number and size of the fins on a heat sink depends
on the amount of heat that has to be dissipated. The power systems that
generate a huge amount of heat need aluminium extrusions
to transfer the heat to the surrounding atmosphere.
Though copper is a better conductor of heat, aluminum is the
preferred material for making heat sinks. The reason for its easy availability
at low cost compared to copper. It is also lighter than copper that reduces the
overall weight of the power supply assembly. Fabrication of aluminum heat sinks
is also easier in comparison to other metals.
Due to the light weight of aluminum larger heat sinks can be
manufactured by using the metal. Heat sinks for power systems require a lot of
surfaces are for the dissipation of heat. It can be achieved by creating
complex profiles of heat sinks to maximize the surface area.
The advantage of aluminium extrusions over any other metals
is that complex profiles can be easily achieved by using it. Heat sinks for
various power applications can be made by using aluminum. Instead of designing
a precision machined heat sink that can be costlier; you can achieve the same
effect by designing aluminum heat sinks with various types of profiles.
The availability of a wide range of sizes and shapes of this
type of heat sink ensures that you always have the correct one to use for your
power applications. Whether the requirement is for a heavy duty heat sink or a
one to be used on the circuit board of power electronics, you will always be
able to achieve what you are looking for.
The company takes your help in designing the perfect heat
sink that your application requires. As a result, you can save on cost in the
design of the heat sink. Custom made heat sinks are the specialty of the
company.
