Project Reference

Client company name, country of project

• Germany

ALTRAN Business Line, domain of intervation, project duration

• ALTRAN Solution Center (ASC); Flöha Development Center

Context & objectives

• Heat dissipation of power LEDs
• High-intensity LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) will replace the traditional light sources. The high efficiency of the light source, however, requires very demanding heat management for the LED (Light Emitting Diode).

Functional & technical environment (tools as required)

• Problem analysis and planning of a calculation concept
• Modelling of the heat flows by FEM (Finite Element Model) and classical calculation methods

Approach, solution

• For an LED light source of different coloured LEDs, a heat dissipation concept is to be evaluated. In particular, it is tested whether a concept without fans is feasible.

Results & added value

• Comparison of the calculations und validation of the FEM model
• Final report
