Abstract

With the increasing application of high power LEDs in general lighting, more effective cooling solutions should be considered to maintain a better performance and reliability with lower LED junction temperature. In this paper, it is discussed firstly in detail how to effectively take advantage of high thermal performance materials, such as CNTs, to improve the heat conduction in LED packages. Secondly, the air flow velocity field generated by piezoelectric fans is simulated using 3D fluid structure interaction method (FSI) and verified with experimental data. A cooler with a piezoelectric fan inside is designed as a preliminary study on how to apply piezoelectric fans in LED active cooling.
