Aluminum plate heat sink calculator.

Multiple heat sources attached to the heat sink can be evaluated. The heatsinkcalculator offers online heat sink analysis software that allows you to analyze plate fins heat sinks cooled via radiation and natural or forced convection. Calculate the thermal resistance and pressure drop of a plate fin heat sink and study how individual parameters affect the heat sink performance. Heat sink calculator this heat sink calculator compares heat sinks using a solid metal base to those using a vapor chamber base.

Advanced tool to calculate thermal resistance pressure drop and base temperature of plate fin heat sinks with flow bypass and base spreading effects. In our experience it generally estimates the overall heat sink volume within 15 of a final design. To estimate the dimensions of the flat plate heat sink you need to determine the path of heat flowing to the surroundings and the magnitude to which that path resists the flow of heat. 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 sink thermal resistance delta t for each component part of the heat sink.
