High power LEDs are currently being plagued by heat dissipation challenges due to its high power density thus limiting its further potential development and fulfillment. Exercising proper selection of packaging component could improve the life time of high power LED. In this work, the significance of the heat slug geometry on the heat dissipation of high power LED was addressed through simulation analysis. The heat slug geometries were varied in order to compare the heat dissipation of the high power LED. Ansys version 11 was utilized for the simulation. The heat dissipation of the high power LED was evaluated in terms of junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance. The key results of the analysis showed that a superior surface area is preferred for an enhanced heat dissipation of high power LED

In this paper, the heat distribution for single chip high power LED package attached with varied heat sink fin shapes were analyzed through simulation. The main focus of this study was to scrutinize the fluctuation of junction temperature with different shapes of heat sink fin designs. The simulation was done using Ansys version 11. The single chip LED was loaded with input power of 0.5 W and 1 W . Simulation was done at ambient temperature of 25°C under three convection coefficient of 5, 10 and 15 W/m2.oC respectively. The obtained results showed that the LED package with pyramid pin fin heat sink has demonstrated a better thermal performance compared to the LED package with cylindrical pin fin heat sink.

A phase change heat sink has higher heat transfer efficiency compared to a traditional metal solid heat sink, and is thus more preferred for the heat dissipation of high-power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with very high heat flux. The boiling structure at the evaporation surface is the biggest factor that affects heat sink resistance. It is necessary to investigate the plastic deformation law during the machining process of boiling structures. In this study, a novel phase change radial heat sink was developed for high-power LED heat dissipation. First, a working principle and a fabrication process for the heat sink were introduced. Subsequently, to achieve an excellent heat dissipation performance, the machining process of boiling structures was numerically simulated and investigated. To be specific, plastic deformation generated during the formation was analyzed, and key parameters related to the morphology of the boiling structures were discussed including feeding angles and machining depths. Moreover, the finite element (FE) simulation results were compared with those of experiments. Last but not least, the heat transfer performance of the fabricated heat sink was tested. Results showed that the developed heat sink was well suited for a high-power LED application.

LED has been regarded as the next generation lighting source. As for high power LED lamps, heat accumulation will cause a series of problems. Therefore, thermal management is very important for designing a high power LED lamp. Three types of heat sinks are designed by using the finite element analysis (FEA) method for an 180W high power LED lamp. Then the optimized heat sinks are developed and experiments are performed to demonstrate the simulated results. At the same time, the thermal performances with different working angles are investigated experimentally. The heat sink with heat pipe has a better heat dissipation performance than the conventional heat sink under the same input power. The working angles of the lamps greatly influence the thermal performance of each heat sink. For the same heat sink, the temperature varies with different install directions and working angles. Finally, the heat sink with the best thermal performance is recommended. The results have practical significance in designing high power LED lamps.

The vast development of the LED industry has created contemporary set of thermal issues with limits the reliability of the high power LEDs. Thus, this paper reports a simulation analysis done on single chip high power LED package to evalute the effects of heat slug material on the heat dissipation of the LED package. The heat dissipation of two types of heat slug material, aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) were compared in terms of junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance of the LED chip at varied input power of 0.1 W and 1W. Results of the analysis showed that the copper heat slug exhibits a better heat dissipation due to its superior thermal conductivity.

Excess heat generated by the high power LED package significantly impacts the performance and reliability of the light source. Significance of heat dissipation are influenced by each packaging component of high power LED. This paper demonstrates simulation analysis on single chip high power LED where the significance of the copper based heat slug structure on the heat dissipation was analyzed. The simulation analysis was carried out by using Ansys version 11 and heat dissipation of two types of heat slug structure, rectangular and cylindrical were compared. The outcome exhibited that the structure of the heat slug significantly influences the heat dissipation of LED chip due to its surface area.

In this work, thermal simulation analysis on high power LED is reported where the effect of the heat sink cooling fan and its rotation speed on the heat dissipation of the high power LED was evaluated. Ansys version 11 was utilized for the simulation. The thermal performance of the high power LED package was assessed in terms of operating junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance. The heat dissipation analysis was done under four types of convection condition:one natural convection conditionthree forced convection condition,. The forced convection condition was used to replicate the effect of a fan with various rotation speeds placed under the heat sink to increase the convective heat transfer coefficient. Results of the analysis showed that that the junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance of the GaN chip reduces with the increase of the fan rotation speed.

In the case of light-emitting diode (LED) seaport luminaires, they should be designed in consideration of glare, average illuminance, and overall uniformity. Although it is possible to implement light distribution through auxiliary devices such as reflectors, it means increasing the weight and size of the luminaire, which reduces the feasibility. Considering the special environment of seaport luminaires, which are installed at a height of 30 m or more, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the device, facilitate replacement, and secure a light source with a long life. In this paper, an optimized lens design was investigated to provide uniform light distribution to meet the requirement in the seaport lighting application. Four types of lens were designed and fabricated to verify the uniform light distribution requirement for the seaport lighting application. Using numerical analysis, we optimized the lens that provides the required minimum overall uniformity for the seaport lighting application. A theoretical analysis for the heatsink structure and shape were conducted to reduce the heat from the high-power LED light sources up to 250 W. As a result of these analyses on the heat dissipation characteristics of the high-power LED light source used in the LED seaport luminaire, the heatsink with hexagonal-shape fins shows the best heat dissipation effect. Finally, a prototype LED seaport luminaire with an optimized lens and heat sink was fabricated and tested in a real seaport environment. The light distribution characteristics of this prototype LED seaport luminaire were compared with a commercial high-pressure sodium luminaire and metal halide luminaire.
