- Abstract
- Even when there is a sufficient heat dissipation area from the heat sink to the environment, if the heat flux in the chip package substrate cannot be transferred rapidly to the heat sink, a thermal problem may occur.[1] In this study, a relatively thin CPV module compared to general models was considered. Because four solar chips are mounted on a center column in the CPV module, heat can accumulate rapidly. Therefore, a heat pipe with high thermal conductivity was considered as the heat dissipation method.[2] The heat pipe adopted in the present study is commercially available and has a circular type sintered wick in it. To apply the heat pipe to the CPV module with thin thickness and a central column with 4 solar cells, it should be pressed and bent. The thermal characteristics of the pressed and bent heat pipe was investigated experimentally.
