FORCED AIR COOLING 5
This graph may be used as a guide to determine the Thermal resistance of any extruded section with forced convection. EXAMPLE The thermal resistance of a Heat Sink is 0.35°C/W assume the Heat Sink is placed in a air velocity of 4m/s. Then 0.35°C/W x 0.3 becomes 0.105°C/W approx.
Performance figures are shown as an indication of a heatsink's actual performance. It is recommended that the effectiveness of any heatsink is tested in the specific operating environment in which it will be subjected. Top
