THERMOELECTRIC SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A HEAT REGIME FOR MODULAR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

Objectives. The article discusses a thermoelectric cooling system (TECS) for ensuring the thermal regime of modular electronic equipment (MEE) located in a cabinet. The main task of the experimental studies is to determine the temperature dependencies of the air-cooled heat-generating elements of a printed circuit board simulator according to TEСS parameters.

Method. In order to conduct experimental studies of a thermoelectric cooling system for printed circuit boards in cassette units using a thermoelectric cooling system, a prototype designed and manufactured in the laboratory was studied on a testing stand.

Result. The directions of constructive solutions for using a TECS device are presented along with a description of the testing stand and procedure. The dependencies of the temperature of the printed circuit board simulator on the heat power taken away by the TECS are considered along with the temperatures of hot and cold junctions, the air flow velocity and the distance between the electronic boards.

Conclusion. The operability of the developed MEE cooling system is confirmed by the experimental studies; the specified cooling method has advantages over conventional forced or natural method and can achieve the temperatures required by the technical operating conditions; when choosing a fan to provide forced circulation of the air flow in the system, it is necessary to take into account the speed of the air flow in the channel; it is necessary to reserve the power of the power supply for the TECS operation in proportion to the power of the heat sources. An important additional point for the functioning of the thermoelectric cooling device is the necessity of ensuring the effective removal of heat from the hot junctions of the thermoelectric module without which it is impossible to use the proposed system.
