In this study, a multiple fans system with a piezoelectric actuator (MFPA) was integrated with a vapor chamber. The integrated system was embedded in a micro-computer for its thermal management. The MFPA utilized magnetic repulsive force to transfer power from the piezoelectric actuator to the adjacent passive fans. Models with different fan length, fan pitch and the number of the fans were developed...
In recent years, piezoelectric fans and their feasibility of cooling electronic devices have been widely studied. Nonetheless, there is few study about using piezoelectric fans to generate radial air flow. In this study, a radial multiple fan system (RMFS) was developed for the thermal management of high power LEDs. This system used one piezoelectric actuator and the magnetic repulsive force to activate...
In this study, multiple fans with a piezoelectric actuator (MFPA) system was adopted to transfer the heat inside a pico projector. Different MFPA models with different dimensional combinations of carbon fiber plates and Mylar plates were developed and their thermal performance along with resonant frequency and vibrating amplitude and power consumption were investigated. The result showed that the...
An innovative cooling technology, multiple magnetic vibrating fins system with only one piezoelectric actuator, is investigated for the thermal management in this study. The vibrating driving force is generated by a piezoelectric actuator and then transfer to multiple magnetic fins by the magnetic forces. The multiple magnetic vibrating fins system in this study uses only one piezoelectric actuator...
Conventionally, thermal management of LEDs lighting is achieved by natural convection with different types of heat sink. However, as high-power LEDs lighting developing, passive cooling system can't afford sufficient cooling ability for LEDs lighting. Previous study developed a novel piezoelectric (PZT) fan with multiple magnetic fans cooling system which only used one piezoelectric actuator to provide...
Previous studies introduced novel multiple piezoelectric-magnetic fans (“MPMF”) which can improve its thermal performance effectively with only one piezoelectric actuator. Moreover, the T-shaped fan design also can increase sweep area of fan to drive more air and improve its thermal performance. This study focuses on investigating the effect of fan pitch (P) and gap (G) between fan tip and heat sink...
The number of data centers has increased continuously in recent years. The power required for a data center to cool its Information Technology (IT) equipment is typically approximately 35%∼45% of the data center's power consumption. In this study, a divided zone method is developed to improve the cooling efficiency for a data center. A divided zone partition can concentrate airflow for key components...
The previous study presented a novel multiple-vibrating fan cooling system actuated by both the piezoelectric (PZT) effect and magnetic force. The thermal performance of the system was demonstrated by checking the temperature drop of the thermocouples adhered to the fin surface. In this study, the convection heat transfer coefficient of an internal multiple-vibrating fan cooling system was calculated...
A vibrating fan system is being pursued as a means to create a heat dissipation system. To improve the efficiency of a heat dissipation system, a novel multiple vibrating-fan system that is actuated by both piezoelectric effect and magnetic force has been developed. The performance of the system is affected by the geometry of the fans and the distance between the fans and the heat sink. The surface...
Previous studies show that the performance of a piezoelectric (PZT) fan is strongly affected by length, vibrating frequency, and fan amplitude. This study examines a cooling system, which is composed of a heat sink made of aluminum and a piezoelectric fan. An oscillating airflow can be generated and induced by the fan deformation. The piezoelectric fan between two fins may break the thermal boundary...
An innovative one-side actuating piezoelectric micropump (OAPCP-micropump), which is combined with a 45 mm×28 mm×4 mm cold plate chamber, has been developed to drive liquid in a cooling system for a laptop. The results show that the shape and the numbers of the fins inside the cold plate chamber have strong effects on the pressure drops and flow profiles. The fluid in the pump chamber may impinge...
Previous studies show that the lighting quality of LED largely depends on operating temperature. LED without thermal management may fail early due to thermal runaway, epoxy degradation, and thermal stress under high-operating temperatures. In this study, the performance of a honeycomb heat sink was investigated by experimentation and three-dimensional numerical models. Two kinds of honeycomb models...
Previous studies have indicated that the performance of the micropump is influenced by the driving voltage, frequency, valves, and pump chambers. In this study, an innovative one-side actuating valveless micropump is proposed and developed to actuate liquid in one direction with high flow rates and pump heads. The three-dimensional, transition numerical models of the micropumps were also employed...
