Abstract:

In this work, thermal simulation analysis on high power LED is reported where the effect of the heat sink cooling fan and its rotation speed on the heat dissipation of the high power LED was evaluated. Ansys version 11 was utilized for the simulation. The thermal performance of the high power LED package was assessed in terms of operating junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance. The heat dissipation analysis was done under four types of convection condition:one natural convection conditionthree forced convection condition,. The forced convection condition was used to replicate the effect of a fan with various rotation speeds placed under the heat sink to increase the convective heat transfer coefficient. Results of the analysis showed that that the junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance of the GaN chip reduces with the increase of the fan rotation speed.
