Cob Led Heat Sink Calculator

For example let s say we are selecting a heat sink for an osram prevaled core z3 1100 led cob module which is 1100 lumens.

Cob led heat sink calculator.

Introducing the heatsinkcalculator an online calculator used to design analyze and optimize heat sinks in various flow conditions. A led luminaire can be seen as an electrical scheme with the thermal resistances of the led internally the interface material and the led cooler is series. The dissipated power pd pe x efficiency where the efficiency of the cob is around 32 or 17 75w x 0 68 12 07w. This simple yet powerful calculator allows the rapid design and analysis of heat sinks by novices and experts in thermal analysis.

Below are 2 illustrations of cob leds mounted to a heat sink with a layer of thermal interface material tim in between. Some heat is also radiated to the ambient. The heat sink size calculator is based on a well established equation for estimating heat sink volume during the early stages of heat sink design. Heat is then conducted up through the heat sink and finally is convected to the air around the heat sink by natural convection or forced convection.

Suitable candidates include the mechatronix lpf6050 zhc. The electrical power pe vf x if or 35 5v x 0 5a 17 75w. This compact heat sink is 60mm in diameter and 50mm tall and it has a thermal resistance θs of 4 0 c w.
