one of critical challenges in LED Lighting system design is the thermal management. The light output of the LED Lighting system is dependent on the Junction temperature. The design of heat sink plays a very vital role in the design. Conventional methods of heat sink manufacturing include materials such as aluminum, copper or combination of aluminum-copper being used. However considering the current trend of manufacturing process, the cost of metal heat sinks has increased. It curbs the design feasibility. In order to achieve a compromise between thermal management and manufacturing cost thermo plastic materials are introduced to replace the metallic heat sinks. This paper presents the design feasibility and thermal management of LED Lighting system with Thermoplastic Heat sinks. |
