Thermal management of high power LED is crucial the reliability and performance of the LED affected by the heat produced during photon emission. Heat sinks are utilized to dissipate the heat and to lower the operating junction temperature of LED. This paper demonstrates a simulation work done to evaluate the influence heat sink fin number on the junction temperature and stress of single chip LED package using Ansys version 11. The heat sink with fin number of 4 fins, 6 fins and 8 fins were used and compared. Results showed that increase in heat sink fin number significantly reduces the junction temperature of the LED package.

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.

High power LED headlamp cannot operate normally and efficiently in case the maximum junction temperature exceeds 120°C. Therefore, it is essential to install external cooling device with excellent thermal management. A model based on plate-fin heat sink is presented, the heat transfer plates (HTPS) are added to bridge aluminum substrate and heat sink. And its thermal performance is evaluated compared with the one only installing heat sink. Results reveal the HTPS coupled with heat sink has a good cooling performance. In addition, the correlation between the junction temperature and the HTPS length is investigated. The optimum length is 47 mm. Furthermore, considerable simulation and experiment are conducted on the junction temperature variation subject to input power, ambient temperature, as well as the installation angle respectively. Finally, a fan is added based on the original device to enhance cooling. It indicates that the junction temperature decreases gradually with the presence of velocity air flow.

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.

In the absence of cooling measures, the chip temperature of high power LED rises rapidly. When the junction temperature exceeds the maximum allowable temperature, the high power LED will be damaged due to overheating. In the design of high power LED lamps, the main work is to the temperature design. Using a good linear relationship characteristic of the semiconductor devices between the LED junction voltage and junction temperature, this paper measured the high-power LED working voltage, working current, temperature of the incubator and heat sink. Adopting the method of electrical parameters, the paper measure the temperature resistor of high power LED. The high-power LED temperature resistance measuring instrument is designed and made. The temperature resistance from the LED wafer to the heat sink is measured fast and accurately, and the error is less than 5%.

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.

The effort described herein extends the use of least-material single rectangular plate-fin analysis to multiple fin arrays, using a composite Nusselt number correlation. The optimally spaced least-material array was also found to be the globally best thermal design. Comparisons of the thermal capability of these optimum arrays, on the basis of total heat dissipation, heat dissipation per unit mass, and space claim specific heat dissipation, are provided for several potential heat sink materials. The impact of manufacturability constraints on the design and performance of these heat sinks is briefly discussed.
