Abstract

It is considered an influence of printed circuit boards placement on temperature distribution in electronic equipment units with natural air cooling. Modeling of the temperature distribution in the unit and research of mass-dimension characteristics were carried out by means of CADs and engineering analysis. There are developed simplified geometric and thermal models of the unit. Here we analyze specificities of heat exchange in the units of radio electronic equipment with natural air cooling. It is developed an algorithm for optimization of printed circuit boards placement in radio electronic equipment with natural air cooling taking into account non-uniform power distribution between printed circuit boards. Proposed algorithm can be used as one of the stage of optimization of size, carrying or mass-dimension factors of the unit in case where unit powers are distributed non-uniformly.
