Technology & Function of Air Heat Sinks
Air heat sinks – also known as finned coolers or profile heat sinks – ensure efficient heat dissipation through natural or forced convection. They are mainly used for passive cooling of power electronics. Thanks to their enlarged surface area – usually in the form of fins or pins – they maximize air contact and enable reliable temperature regulation. The larger the surface area, the more effective the heat dissipation. While conventional high-performance cooling profiles often entail high tooling costs and minimum quantities, our cooling systems offer flexible profile design with cost-effective manufacturing – ideal for medium batch sizes and prototypes.
Depending on the application and requirements, passive or active cooling solutions are used. Passive cooling is particularly efficient with low power dissipation and reliable air circulation. Also Liquid cooling can be an alternative for high thermal loads.
Advantages of our Aluminum Air Heat Sinks
Aluminum is the ideal material for air heat sinks. COOLTEC aluminum air heat sinks offer improved heat dissipation thanks to anodized surface finishing and additional benefits such as:
High thermal conductivity: Perfect for efficient heat dissipation.
Lightweight and corrosion-resistant: For long-lasting and reliable cooling.
Good formability: Enables customized solutions for any application.
Sustainability & Materials in Cooling
Our air heat sinks are made from high-quality aluminum, which makes a significant contribution to sustainable electronics cooling not only due to its excellent thermal conductivity, but also due to its recyclability. Aluminum can be 100% recycled, significantly reducing the ecological footprint of our heat sinks.
We rely on environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, optimizing material usage and maximizing energy efficiency during production. In this way, we make a direct contribution to resource-saving thermal management.
Sustainability at COOLTECCalculate & Design Heat Sinks
To calculate the correct heat sink size, various factors must be considered, including:
- Power dissipation of the component
- Ambient temperature
- Airflow (natural or forced)
- Mounting type and thermal resistance
Our thermal simulation tools enable precise calculation of the optimal heat sink size and shape to ensure efficient cooling without oversizing or thermal risks.
