A motor radiator is a device used to effectively cool and dissipate heat, usually used in the circuit of an electric motor or other electrical equipment. These devices need to constantly check the temperature, because too high a temperature can cause the equipment to burn out and affect the life of the appliance. By accelerating heat dissipation, the motor radiator enables rapid heat transmission and dissipation, which can keep the equipment running within a controllable temperature range.
Class of motor radiators
The common motor radiators on the market can be divided into the following types:
1. Heat sink
A heat sink is a traditional heat sink commonly found in computers and home appliances. It is usually made of aluminum or copper and has many loose flakes that facilitate the dissipation of heat. Even at high temperatures, the heat sink can maintain its toughness, thus ensuring the long-term use of the device.
2. Fan
The fan is often used as a motor radiator, the principle of which is to inhale air into the equipment and participate in heat exchange, so that the heat that oozes out of the equipment can be dispersed through the fan. The heat dissipation performance of the fan is higher than that of the heat sink, so it is often used in industrial applications and high performance motors.
3. Water-cooled radiator
A water-cooled radiator is a system that transmits and dissipates heat through water flow and is a relatively high-level heat dissipation device. The system consists of a water pump, radiator, water tank and other accessories to efficiently transfer the heat generated by the motor to the external environment. The advantage of a water-cooled system is that its heat dissipation performance is higher than that of a traditional air radiator, which can balance the heat generated to a lower temperature.
4. Heat pipes
Heat pipe is a new type of motor radiator, because of its superior heat transfer performance, has been widely used in industrial and military fields. The heat pipe is filled with liquid refrigerant, which can transfer the potential heat and distribute it to the surface of the equipment, dissipate the heat as quickly as possible and return the treated liquid refrigerant to the heat pipe.
5. Semiconductor radiator
A semiconductor heat sink is a semiconductor-based heat sink commonly used in areas such as processors, microcontrollers, and other tiny electronic devices. The device consists of a different number of sheets with a very small size. Although the indication is small, the semiconductor radiator surface can transfer kilograms of heat.
