基于TPMS结构的电子设备散热冷板数值与实验研究

Abstract With the increasing power of electronic chips, cold plates have emerged as a promising solution for cooling high thermal load electronic devices. Additive manufacturing facilitates the production of complex structures, expanding the possibilities for developing advanced designs. Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures exhibit remarkable thermophysical properties, making them prominent candidates for heat transfer applications. This study numerically investigates the heat transfer capacity and flow characteristics of cold plates with serpentine channels and three TPMS structures, Diamond, Gyroid, and I-WP structures. From numerical results, the inherent mechanisms of TPMS structure strengthening heat transfer are analyzed from flow pattern and combined conduction and convection heat transfer. The results indicate that the Diamond structure exhibits the best overall thermohydraulic performance. The influence of two geometric parameters, porosity and unit cell size, on the thermohydraulic performance of TPMS structure, is examined. A TPMS structure with gradient changes in unit cell size in the direction from plate bottom to top is developed. At a pumping power below 2 W, its ultimate heat flux can exceed 256.9 W/cm 2 , improving the overall performance by 3.58 % to 6.24 % compared with the uniform one. Experimental results verify the reliability of numerical simulations, the maximum relative deviations in temperature, pressure drop, and heat transfer coefficient between numerical and test data were only 7.5 %, 13.9 % and, 5.44 %, respectively.
