- the heat sink 100 comprises a base 105 and a plurality of heat exchange elements 110 .
- the heat exchange elements 110 are connected to and raised above, a surface 120 of the base 105 .
- Each of the heat exchange elements 110 of the first row 125 have a long dimension 130 that is substantially parallel to the long dimension 130 of other heat exchange elements 110 of the first row 125 , and, also substantially parallel to the surface 120 of the base 105 .
- Each of the heat exchange elements 110 of the second row 127 have the long dimension 130 that is substantially parallel to the long dimension 130 of other heat exchange elements 110 of the second row 127 , and, also substantially parallel to the surface 120 of the base 105 .
- the first row 125 and the second row 127 are substantially opposed to each other such that one set of ends 135 of the heat exchange elements 110 of the first row 125 are staggered with respect to one set of ends 137 of the heat exchange elements 110 of the second row 127 .
- staggered means that the ends 137 of the heat exchange elements 110 of the second row 127 are substantially offset from the ends 135 of the heat exchange elements 110 of the first row 125 .
- the adjacent the heat exchange elements 110 define a channel 140 , with a channel width 145 , in-between the adjacent the two heat exchange elements 110 .
- the ends 137 of elements 110 in the second row 127 are considered to be staggered with respect to ends 135 of elements 110 in the first row 125 when the ends 137 are aligned with a central space 147 (e.g., a middle 80 percent, more preferably a middle 40 percent, and even more preferably, a middle 20 percent of the space 147 ; FIGS. 1-2 ) of the one of the channels 140 located between the ends 135 of elements 110 in the first row 125 .
- a central space 147 e.g., a middle 80 percent, more preferably a middle 40 percent, and even more preferably, a middle 20 percent of the space 147 ; FIGS. 1-2
- the height 150 of an element 110 might be longer than the long dimension 130 which, e.g., can correspond to a horizontal length of the element 110 .
- the horizontal length which is substantially parallel to the base surface, is still the long dimension 130 in the plane of the base's surface 120 , e.g., because it is at least longer than the thickness 155 of the element 130 and because the height 150 dimension is perpendicular to the base's surface 120 .
- Heat sink designs featuring heat exchange elements with parallel long dimensions can provide superior heat removal as compared to certain heat sink designs using a two-dimension array pin- or pillar-shaped heat exchange elements for configurations where the air flow is predominantly parallel to the base and the long dimension of the heat exchange elements described in the invention.
- pin- or pillar-shaped heat exchange elements can provide superior heat removal as compared to certain heat sink designs described in this invention when the flow is predominantly parallel to the heat sink base and also orthogonal to the long dimension of the heat exchange elements, and also when the flow is predominantly orthogonal to the heat sink base.
- the invention described herein is of interest to the case where the flow is predominantly parallel to the heat sink base and the long dimension of the heat exchange elements.
- the heat exchange elements 110 are depicted as being rectangular-shaped planar fins.
- a heat exchange element 110 design can be desirable, e.g., because such structures can be relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, or, because the air flow characteristics around such structures are relatively easy to simulate via computer modeling.

- the set of ends 135 of the heat exchange elements 110 of the first row 125 are separated from the set of ends 137 of the heat exchange elements 110 of the second row 127 by a gap 210 .
- Including such an inter-row gap 210 can help reduce the overall pressure drop of air passing around the elements 110 , since the airflow field will tend to rearrange when air goes through the gap 210 from one row 125 to the other row 127 .
- the gap 210 can also help the thermal boundary layer, which can develop next to the elements 110 , to renormalize.
- a length 215 of the gap 210 between the set of ends 135 of elements 110 of the first row 125 and the set of ends 137 of elements 110 of the second row 127 can be up to about five times a channel width 125 between adjacent ones of elements 110 .
- the gap 210 extends to an outer perimeter 220 of the base 105 .
- the gap 220 is substantially centrally located over the base 105 (e.g., such as when the elements 110 of the first row 125 and the second row 127 all have the same long dimension 130 length).

- one or more of the elements 100 e.g., the entire first row 125 of elements 110 can itself be designed as vortex enhancers.
- vortex enhancers can create vortices that are spatially and temporally varying and which enhance mixing of the cold air in the channel's middle and the hot air at the heat sink's surfaces.
- Example vortex enhancer designs also known as vortex generators are presented in the above-incorporated U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/165,225.
- the set of ends 135 , 137 of the heat exchange elements of the first row 125 partially overlap with the set of ends 137 of the heat exchange elements 110 of the second row 127 .
- a length 520 of the overlap between the set of ends 135 of the elements 110 of first row 125 with the set of ends 137 of elements 110 of the second row 127 is up to about five times a channel width 145 between adjacent ones of the heat exchange elements 110 .

- the set of ends 530 , 535 in the additional rows 525 , 527 can be separated by a gap 550 between the row 525 , 527 .
- the set of ends 535 , 537 of the elements of the additional rows 525 , 527 can have overlap or be aligned, similar to that described in the context of in FIGS. 5C and 5D regarding example embodiments of the first and second rows 125 , 127 .
- the channels 140 in the additional rows 525 , 527 are oriented substantially parallel with each other and with the channels 140 of the first and second rows 125 , 127 . Such configuration helps avoid air pressure drops which can decrease the heat sink's cooling performance. In other embodiments, however non-parallel channel orientations between rows could be used.

Abstract
Description
- The present application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. ______ (docket no. 807926) to Salamon, entitled, “AIR JET ACTIVE HEAT SINK”, and which is commonly assigned with the present application, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present disclosure is directed, in general, to a heat sink and methods of manufacture thereof.
- This section introduces aspects that may be helpful to facilitating a better understanding of the inventions. Accordingly, the statements of this section are to be read in this light. The statements of this section are not to be understood as admissions about what is in the prior art or what is not in the prior art.
- Heat sinks are commonly used to increase the heat transfer area of an electronic device to decrease the thermal resistance between the device and cooling medium, e.g., air. There is a growing trend, however, for electronic devices to dissipate so much power that traditional heat sink designs are inadequate to sufficiently cool the device. Improved heat transfer efficiency from electronic devices would help extend the lifetime of such devices.
- One embodiment is a heat sink comprising a base and a plurality of heat exchange elements. The heat exchange elements are connected to and raised above, a surface of the base. There is a first row of the heat exchange elements, with each of the heat exchange elements having a long dimension that is substantially parallel to the long dimension of the other heat exchange elements of the first row and to the surface. There is a second row of the heat exchange elements, each of the heat exchange elements having a long dimension that is substantially parallel to the long dimension of the other heat exchange elements of the second row and to the surface. The first row and the second row are substantially opposed to each other such that one set of ends of the heat exchange elements of the first row are staggered with respect to one set of ends of the heat exchange elements of the second row.
- Another embodiment is an apparatus. The apparatus comprises the above-described heat sink and a structure configured to produce heat, wherein the heat sink is coupled to the structure.
- Another embodiment is a method of manufacturing a heat sink. The method comprises forming a base and forming a plurality of heat exchange elements connected to and raised above, a surface of the base. There is a first row of the heat exchange elements, with each of the heat exchange elements having a long dimension that is substantially parallel to the long dimension of the other heat exchange elements of the first row and to the surface. There is a second row of the heat exchange elements, each of the heat exchange element having a long dimension that is substantially parallel to the long dimension of the other heat exchange elements of the second row and to the surface. The first row and the second row are substantially opposed to each other such that one set of ends of the heat exchange elements of the first row are staggered with respect to one set of ends of the heat exchange elements of the second row.
- The embodiments of the disclosure are best understood from the following detailed description, when read with the accompanying FIGUREs. Some features in the figures may be described as “vertical” or “horizontal” for convenience in referring to those features. Such descriptions do not limit the orientation of such features with respect to the natural horizon or gravity. Various features may not be drawn to scale and may be arbitrarily increased or reduced in size for clarity of discussion. Reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 presents a perspective view of an example embodiment of the heat sink of the disclosure; -
FIG. 2 presents a plan view of the heat sink along view line 2-2 shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 presents a sectional view of the heat sink along view line 3-3 shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 presents a sectional view of the heat sink along view line 4-4 shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIGS. 5A-5E present plan views of alternative embodiments of the heat sink of the disclosure, analogous to the view presented inFIG. 2 ; and -
FIG. 6 presents a flow diagram of selected steps in an example method of manufacturing a heat sink of the disclosure, e.g., such as presented inFIGS. 1A-5E . - The description and drawings merely illustrate the principles of the invention. It will thus be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be able to devise various arrangements that, although not explicitly described or shown herein, embody the principles of the invention and are included within its scope. Furthermore, all examples recited herein are principally intended expressly to be only for pedagogical purposes to aid the reader in understanding the principles of the invention and the concepts contributed by the inventor(s) to furthering the art, and are to be construed as being without limitation to such specifically recited examples and conditions. Moreover, all statements herein reciting principles, aspects, and embodiments of the invention, as well as specific examples thereof, are intended to encompass equivalents thereof. Additionally, the term, “or,” as used herein, refers to a non-exclusive or, unless otherwise indicated. Also, the various embodiments described herein are not necessarily mutually exclusive, as some embodiments can be combined with one or more other embodiments to form new embodiments.
- Embodiments of the disclosure benefit from the recognition that thermal boundary layers develop along the surfaces of a heat sink. Consequently, efficient heat transfer from the heat sink to the surrounding air can be deterred because the primary means of heat transfer from the slow air flowing in the boundary layer at the surface and the faster moving cold air in the space farther away from the surface is diffusion.
- The embodiments described herein improve heat transfer efficiency by: i) increasing the turbulence (or mixing) of air located in the channels between the heat exchange elements of a heat sink; and ii) placing structures in a staggered fashion so as to ensure cooler air in the middle of channels contacts heat exchange elements directly. For instance, increased air turbulence helps mix the hotter air next to the heat exchange elements with the cooler air in the middle of channels, and thereby improve heat transfer. The increased contact of cold air with heat exchange elements, achieved by staggering the heat exchange elements in different rows as described herein, are believed in some cases to be capable of improving the cooling factor of a heat sink by up to about three times as compared to an analogous heat sink designs but without the staggered elements.
- One embodiment of the disclosure is a heat sink.

Each of theheat exchange elements 110 of thesecond row 127 have thelong dimension 130 that is substantially parallel to thelong dimension 130 of otherheat exchange elements 110 of thesecond row 127, and, also substantially parallel to thesurface 120 of thebase 105. Thefirst row 125 and thesecond row 127 are substantially opposed to each other such that one set ofends 135 of theheat exchange elements 110 of thefirst row 125 are staggered with respect to one set ofends 137 of theheat exchange elements 110 of thesecond row 127. - The term staggered as used herein means that the ends 137 of the
heat exchange elements 110 of thesecond row 127 are substantially offset from theends 135 of theheat exchange elements 110 of thefirst row 125. For instance, consider two adjacent theheat exchange elements 110 in either of therows heat exchange elements 110 define achannel 140, with achannel width 145, in-between the adjacent the twoheat exchange elements 110. The ends 137 ofelements 110 in thesecond row 127 are considered to be staggered with respect to ends 135 ofelements 110 in thefirst row 125 when the ends 137 are aligned with a central space 147 (e.g., a middle 80 percent, more preferably a middle 40 percent, and even more preferably, a middle 20 percent of thespace 147;FIGS. 1-2 ) of the one of thechannels 140 located between theends 135 ofelements 110 in thefirst row 125. - In some embodiment, the
height 150 of anelement 110 might be longer than thelong dimension 130 which, e.g., can correspond to a horizontal length of theelement 110. However, the horizontal length, which is substantially parallel to the base surface, is still thelong dimension 130 in the plane of the base'ssurface 120, e.g., because it is at least longer than thethickness 155 of theelement 130 and because theheight 150 dimension is perpendicular to the base'ssurface 120. - Heat sink designs featuring heat exchange elements with parallel long dimensions, such as disclosed herein, can provide superior heat removal as compared to certain heat sink designs using a two-dimension array pin- or pillar-shaped heat exchange elements for configurations where the air flow is predominantly parallel to the base and the long dimension of the heat exchange elements described in the invention. In contrast, pin- or pillar-shaped heat exchange elements can provide superior heat removal as compared to certain heat sink designs described in this invention when the flow is predominantly parallel to the heat sink base and also orthogonal to the long dimension of the heat exchange elements, and also when the flow is predominantly orthogonal to the heat sink base. The invention described herein is of interest to the case where the flow is predominantly parallel to the heat sink base and the long dimension of the heat exchange elements.
- For many of the example embodiments presented herein, such as in
FIGS. 1-4 , theheat exchange elements 110 are depicted as being rectangular-shaped planar fins. In some embodiments such aheat exchange element 110 design can be desirable, e.g., because such structures can be relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, or, because the air flow characteristics around such structures are relatively easy to simulate via computer modeling. In other embodiments, however, it may be advantageous for theheat exchange elements 110 to have other shapes. Examples of other heat exchange element designs are presented in patent application Ser. Nos. 12/165,063; 12/165,193; and 12/165,225, all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. Non-limiting example designs include: bent or curved fins, fins that include flow diverters, monolithic structurally complex designs, or active heat sink designs. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , in some embodiments, the set ofends 135 of theheat exchange elements 110 of thefirst row 125 are separated from the set ofends 137 of theheat exchange elements 110 of thesecond row 127 by agap 210. Including such aninter-row gap 210 can help reduce the overall pressure drop of air passing around theelements 110, since the airflow field will tend to rearrange when air goes through thegap 210 from onerow 125 to theother row 127. Additionally, thegap 210 can also help the thermal boundary layer, which can develop next to theelements 110, to renormalize. - To facilitate such advantages, in some embodiments, a
length 215 of thegap 210 between the set ofends 135 ofelements 110 of thefirst row 125 and the set ofends 137 ofelements 110 of thesecond row 127 can be up to about five times achannel width 125 between adjacent ones ofelements 110. In some preferred embodiments, thegap 210 extends to anouter perimeter 220 of thebase 105. In some preferred embodiments, thegap 220 is substantially centrally located over the base 105 (e.g., such as when theelements 110 of thefirst row 125 and thesecond row 127 all have the samelong dimension 130 length). - In some embodiments, there are additional structures that can be located in the
gap 210 to facilitate increase air flow turbulence around theelements 110. For instance, as shown inFIG. 5A . Theheat sink 100 can further including one ormore vortex enhancers 510 located in thegap 210. Thevortex enhancers 510 can be configured to direct air flow fromchannels 140 within thefirst row 125 ofheat exchange elements 110 tochannels 140 within thesecond row 127 ofheat exchange elements 110. Of course, in still other embodiments, such as shown inFIG. 5B , one or more of the elements 100 (e.g., the entirefirst row 125 ofelements 110 can itself be designed as vortex enhancers. One skilled in the art would understand that the vortex enhancers can create vortices that are spatially and temporally varying and which enhance mixing of the cold air in the channel's middle and the hot air at the heat sink's surfaces. Example vortex enhancer designs (also known as vortex generators) are presented in the above-incorporated U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/165,225. - In some embodiments, however there is no gap between the
ends elements 110 of the opposingrows FIG. 2 . For instance, as illustrated inFIG. 5C , the set ofends first row 125 partially overlap with the set ofends 137 of theheat exchange elements 110 of thesecond row 127. In some embodiments, as illustrated inFIG. 5C , alength 520 of the overlap between the set ofends 135 of theelements 110 offirst row 125 with the set ofends 137 ofelements 110 of thesecond row 127 is up to about five times achannel width 145 between adjacent ones of theheat exchange elements 110. - In yet other embodiments, such as shown in
FIG. 5D there is neither a gap nor an overlap between theends elements 110 of the opposingrows ends elements 110 from the opposingrows - Some embodiments of the heat sink can include additional rows of heat exchange elements. For instance, as shown in
FIG. 5E , theheat sink 100 can further including one or moreadditional rows heat exchange elements 110. Analogous to that discussed in the context ofFIGS. 1 and 2 , above, a set ofends 530 of theheat exchange elements 110 of theadditional row 525, are staggered with respect to a set ofends 535 of an opposing differentadditional row 527. - Or, a set of
ends 540 of theheat exchange elements 110 of theadditional row 525 are staggered with respect to a second set ofends 545 of the first row or the second row (e.g., second ends 545 of the elements of thesecond row 127, as depicted inFIG. 5E ). As also illustrated inFIG. 5E , the set ofends additional rows gap 550 between therow gap 555 between one or more of theadditional rows 525 and one of the first and second rows (e.g., there is agap 555, between the set of second ends 540 of theelements 110 of theadditional row 525 and the set of second ends 545 of theelements 110 of thesecond row 127. In still other embodiments, however, the set ofends 535, 537 of the elements of theadditional rows FIGS. 5C and 5D regarding example embodiments of the first andsecond rows - In some preferred embodiments, as also illustrated in
FIG. 5E , thechannels 140 in theadditional rows channels 140 of the first andsecond rows - In some embodiments of the
heat sink 100, as illustrated inFIG. 2 , second ends 230, 235 of theheat exchange elements 110 of therows outer perimeter 220 of thebase 105. However, in other embodiments, one or both of the second ends 230, 235 may not extend to theperimeter 220. - In some embodiments of the
heat sink 100, as illustrated inFIG. 2 , lengths of thelong dimensions 130 of theheat exchange elements 110 of thefirst row 125 are substantially equal to each other (e.g., within 10 percent). Similarly, the lengths of thelong dimensions 130 of theheat exchange elements 110 of thesecond row 127 can be substantially equal to each other, and in some cases, to lengths of thelong dimensions 130 of the elements of thefirst row 125. However, in other embodiments, thelong dimension 130 of theelements 110 in the first orsecond row different rows - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , in some embodiments of theheat sink 100, theheat exchanger elements 110 are continuously connected to thebase 105. That is, theelements 110 and the base 105 are formed from the same work piece of starting material (e.g., aluminum and copper and their alloys, or steel, brass or silver). For instance, the starting material can be a piece of metal which is shaped or machined, as further discussed below, to define theelements 110 andbase 105. In other embodiments, however theelements 110 can be separately made and then coupled, as further discussed below, to thebase 110. - One skilled in the art would be familiar with the appropriate size and spacing of
elements 110 to use for particular cooling applications. For instance, in certain micro-electronic applications, theelements 110 can havelengths 130 andheights 150 up to about 200 mm and thicknesses up to about 2 mm, with the height-to-length aspect ratio ranging from about 1:1 to 20:1, height-to-thickness aspect ratios ranging about from 1:1 to 500:1, and thechannel width 145 ranging from about 1 to 20 mm. Proportionally greater sizes and spacing could be used in larger-scale cooling applications. - As further illustrated in
FIG. 4 , another embodiment of the disclosure is anapparatus 400. Theapparatus 400 comprises aheat sink 100, such as any of the embodiments ofheat sinks 100 discussed in the context ofFIGS. 1-5E . Theapparatus 400 also comprises astructure 410 configured to produce heat. Theheat sink 100 is coupled to thedevice 410. One skilled in the art would be familiar with the means to couple a heat sink to a structure so as to achieve efficient heat transfer. - For instance, in some embodiments the
apparatus 400 can be an electrical device, and theheat generating structure 410 includes an integrated circuit, or, in other cases, a power supply of the electrical device. In some embodiments, theapparatus 400 can a heat exchanger and theheat generating structure 410 is a pipe that carries a heated fluid therein (e.g., water, air, refrigerant). For instance, a plurality ofheat sinks 100 can be thermally coupled to aheat pipe structure 410 that is configured to circulate fluid from another device that generates heat, e.g., a motor or electrical power supply (not shown). In other embodiments, however, heat pipes could be incorporated within thebase 105. Although thebase 105 andstructure 410 are depicted as having aplanar interface 415, in other cases, theinterface 415 could be non-planar (e.g., such as when thestructure 410 is the wall of a cylindrical pipe). - Another embodiment of the disclosure is a method of manufacturing a heat sink.
FIG. 6 presents a flow diagram of selected steps in anexample method 600 of manufacturing aheat sink 100 of the disclosure, such as any of the embodiments ofheat sinks 100 discussed in the context ofFIGS. 1-5E . - With continuing reference to
FIGS. 1-5E throughout, the method comprises astep 605 of forming abase 105, and astep 610 of forming a plurality ofheat exchange elements 110, connected to and raised above, asurface 120 of thebase 105. Theelements 110 can be configured in any of the manners discussed herein. - In some embodiments, forming the base 105 in
step 605 includes machining a thin sheet of metal to the appropriate dimensions. E.g., for some electronic cooling applications, the base's thickness 160 (FIG. 1 ) may be on the order of about 1 to 10 mm. E.g., for some micro-electronic cooling applications thelength 162 andwidth 164 can be on the order of 10 to 300 mm. - In some cases, forming the base (step 605) can include a
step 615 of forming fluid flow conduits (e.g., pipes or chambers) within thebase 105. During the heat sink's operation fluid can be circulated through the conduits to facilitate cooling. - In some cases, forming the base (step 605) includes a
step 620 of forming a heat exchange structure (e.g., astructure 410 such as discussed in the context ofFIG. 4 ) wherein thebase 105 is part of an outer surface of the heat exchange structure. - In some embodiments, forming the plurality of
elements 110, connected to and raised above, the base'ssurface 120 instep 610, includes astep 625 of coupling theheat exchange elements 110 to thesurface 120. - The
coupling step 625 can include couplingindividual elements 110, or preformedrows elements 110, to thesurface 120. For instance the preformed rows can comprise a metal sheet which is folded to form theelements 110, and then the folded sheet can be coupled to thebase 120. Non-limiting examples of coupling methods include epoxy bond, brazing, soldering, welding or various combinations thereof. - In other embodiments, the forming
step 610 can include astep 630 of shaping a same work piece that thebase 105 is formed from. As a non-limiting example, a single metal sheet work piece can be shaped by skiving, machining, bending or stamping, the sheet to form theelements 110. As another non-limiting example, a molten work piece can be shaped by extrusion or die casting, or, extrusion or die casting followed by post-extrusion machining, to form theelements 110. - Although the embodiments have been described in detail, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they could make various changes, substitutions and alterations herein without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
