Technical Case Study - Natural Convection - Radiator Feasibility
Fanless Radiator Designed for Extreme Ambient Conditions
ATS conducted a first-principles analytical study on the feasibility of a custom fanless radiator designed to dissipate 400 W to ambient without forced convection. The work evaluated natural convection performance at ambient conditions up to 50°C and compared radiator geometries to identify a more effective passive architecture.
Application: Fanless liquid cooling radiator
Heat Load: 400 W
Ambient Range: -30°C to 50°C
Cooling Mode: Natural convection only
