How to select an appropriate and stable heat sink for industrial control equipment

  The CPU cooler is one of the critical components of the industrial control computer, it plays a crucial role in the industrial control system, In addition to the characteristics and compatibility modes of key hardware configurations, it is also necessary to consider the heat dissipation standard of the internal structure of the main box, but there are many types of coolers in the market, how to choose an appropriate CPU cooler for the industrial control computer?

  At present, the CPU cooling methods are mainly divided into three types, one is air cooling, the other is electronic cooling, and the third is liquid cooling, air cooling is the most widespread type of cooling method in which a fan is embedded in a heat sink. 

  For general industrial control equipment, the air cooling heat sink is the most common type, usually the heat sink consists of aluminum fin and heat pipes, which has high thermal efficiency to meet the thermal requirements of industrial contro equipment.

  The crucial factors that affect the actual effect of the air cooler are as follows:

  1. heat sink material (due to the heavy weight of copper, most of them are now mixed with copper and aluminum)

  2. The total area and relative density of the radiator

  3. The total number of heat pipes (high-grade general 6 air-conditioning copper pipes)

  4. Fan power (adjustable)
