LATICONTHER®: HEAT TRANSFER AND DESIGN

1

PRELIMINARY REMARKSLATICONTHER family provides the option to manifacture products using thermally conductive thermoplastic compounds.

The use of these materials allows a better transfer of heat generated, for example, by electronic devices due to the high thermal conductivity provided by the special fillers dispersed inside the thermoplastic matrix.

So, new interesting applications may be considered for projects requiring the removal of locally generated heat when conventional metal solutions cannot be considered or are to be replaced with simpler or more cost-efficient alternatives.

LATICONTHER products offer many advantages compared to metallic materials:

a. lower weight,

b. high chemical resistance of the plastic matrix in aggressive environments,

c. low thermal expansion values, compatible with the different types of substrate,

d. possibility of combining thermal conductivity with electrical insulation,

e. colourability without resorting to paints,

f. overall cost reduction for the manufacturing process,

g. possibility to integrate complex geometries made up of inserts or several assembled parts in a single process operation.

The great advantage of easy and clean management of waste and scraps, which can be easily recovered or disposed of, is also worth mentioning, as well as the absence of washing or cleaning cycles requiring the use of solvents or acid baths, and the conversion at definitely lower temperatures compared to metals.

For all these reasons, LATICONTHER is a successful solution also in terms of health and environment.

Thanks to these properties, LATICONTHER range is a valid solution for encapsulation and overmolding of electrical components such as inductors and reactors, the manufacture of heat sinks for electric motors, processors, active components (e.g. power transistors), LED lamps, etc.

HEAT TRANSFEREnergy transfer due to the relative temperature difference occurs through three mechanisms: conduction, convection and radiation.

• Conduction: transfer due to the contact with systems having different temperatures. The amount of heat transferred (Q) is a function of the geometry, properties of materials involved, and temperature difference (ΔT) where s is the thickness and A is the area of heat exchange.

The thermal conductivity (K) describes the material's ability to transfer heat and is an extremely variable measure:

Fig. 1 - Materials with high and low thermal conductivity.

Fig. 2 - Thermal conductivity of some substances

• Convection: energy transfer between a solid surface and a fluid. The thermal power transferred is a function of the exchange surface A of the component and of the temperature difference (ΔT) between the two systems:

The convection coefficient (h) regulates the heat exchange between the different systems, and is not a property of material, but of the overall system.

For example, the amount of heat removed from a surface exposed to still air (natural convection) is lower than that extracted from an airstream (forced convection), the exposed surface area and temperature difference being equal.

Fig. 3 - Example of natural and forced convection.

• Radiation: Energy emitted by a body in the form of electromagnetic waves due to the vibratory and rotatory motion of molecules, atoms and electrons within a substance; they are a function of material and temperature.

Fig. 4 - Example of electromagnetic radiation

The overall phenomenon of heat transfer is often simultaneously made up of the three above mentioned mechanisms.

So the combined evaluation of the individual contributions is crucial to optimize the overall system efficiency.

For example, in the case of a common heat sink used for cooling a microprocessor or a LED lamp, even though it is usually made of metal, in most cases it may be replaced with a version entirely molded in LATICONTHER.

In fact, it is often erroneously supposed that the heat exchange capability primarily depends on the intrinsic thermal conductivity of the material used.

Actually, the efficiency of the convective exchange on the radiating surface (only influenced by the geometrical properties of the body and the surrounding air) greatly affects the overall balance.

For this reason, high thermally conductive metals used, such as aluminium or copper, may be often oversized, especially if the overall heat transfer balance is jeopardized by other “bottlenecks” involved in the heat transfer process, such as a poor convective exchange due to a non-optimized geometry.

Qconduction = −K ⋅A ⋅ ∆Ts

Qconvection = h ⋅A ⋅ ∆T

HOW TO CHOOSE?When choosing a thermally conductive LATICONTHER compound that best suits the project’s needs, it has first to be determined whether a material that is also electrically conductive can be used or the use of an electrically insulating material is definitely required.

LATICONTHER compounds are therefore divided into two broad categories:

• Electrically insulating: LATICONTHER CP• Electrically conductive: LATICONTHER GR

Fig. 5 - LATICONTHER CP / GR selection diagram

If the project is not subject to explicit restrictions concerning electrical insulation and the black color is not a problem, the best choices in terms of performance and price are certainly graphite filled, electrically conductive LATICONTHER GR compounds.

On the other hand, when project specifications require electrical insulation and/or colors other than black, the choice of LATICONTHER CP compounds with special electrically insulating and colorable fillers is recommended.

After determining the product type, the specific grade can be determined by selecting the most suitable matrix based on application requirements.

1. What temperatures are involved? Heat may damage compound properties; an evaluation of maximum and minimum project temperatures is crucial.

2. In what environment will the product be used? Factors such as chemical etching, exposure to sunlight, harmful weathering conditions or atmospheric humidity play an important role in the choice of polymers.

3. What mechanical performance is required? The presence of both static and dynamic mechanical stresses is a decisive factor in the choice of a compound.

4. Are self-extinguishing properties required? LATI also offers thermally conductive compounds with UL-94 certifications.

LATICONTHER CP: THERMALLYCONDUCTIVE AND ELECTRICALLY INSULATINGLATICONTHER CP and CP1 provide excellent thermal conductivity without giving up the prerogative of the polymers, namely the electrical insulation.

LATICONTHER CP compounds are manufactured using special ceramic fillers ensuring effective heat transfer as well as excellent electrical insulation.

The materials thus obtained are also colorable, compatibly with the high amounts of ceramic powder based on the formulation.

Fig. 8 - Possible LATICONTHER CP colors

If a thermal conductivity of 1-2 W/mK is satisfactory, then LATICONTHER CP compounds may be the response to the project requirements.

The absolute values of conductivity are much lower than those of metals, but up to 20 times higher than those of conventional both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics (e.g. casting resins).

For projects requiring higher performance, LATI offers LATICONTHER CP1 products, which are formulated with special ceramic mixtures designed to provide thermal conductivity values from 2 to 10 W/mK while keeping electrical insulation and colorability properties.

LATICONTHER 47/1 CP/80PPc-based compound featuring excellent flexibility and impact resistance, so particularly suited to refrigeration applications even for extremely low temperatures (e.g. liquid gas).This material is also suitable for the extrusion of simple profiles.

LATICONTHER GR: THERMALLY AND ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVELATICONTHER GR products allow to reach higher thermal conductivity values, thus providing much better performance compared to conventional thermoplastic compounds.

These compounds are filled with high percentages of special graphite providing the material with both longitudinal thermal conductivity with values ranging between 10 and 15 W/mK and low surface electrical resistivity.

Regardless of the base polymer matrix, LATICONTHER GR products are not colorable, as the used filler necessarily features black color.

Fig. 14 - Anisotropic behavior of a highly oriented LATICONTHER compared to an isotropic behavior, obtained by FEM thermal analysis. The orientation of fillers in the product can be calculated by a fluid dynamics analysis of the filling process

Graphite used shows geometric anisotropy due to the asymmetrical shape of the particles it is made of.

So even better thermal properties may be obtained if filler is appropriately oriented: conductivity will be higher in the direction parallel to the feed direction of molten material flow filling the product cavity.

Despite the high graphite content (up to 70% by weight), LATICONTHER GR products do not require special equipment for transformation; in fact, the compound formulation was optimized to allow the filling of even very thin walls.
