The Performance of a Heat Sink with Piezoelectric Fins An LED light is often made of a small piece of semiconductor, an integrated optical lens used to shape its radiation pattern, and a heat sink, used to dissipate heat and maintain the semiconductor at a low operating temperature. LED lights present many advantages over incandescent light sources, including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved physical robustness, smaller size and faster switching. LED lights are powerful enough for room and street lighting and are relatively expensive. They also require more precise current and heat management than traditional incandescent and compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output. The performance and life expectation of an LED light directly links to the semiconductor temperature, so-called “junction temperature”. Figure 1. STAR LED Heat Sink Generally, the lower the junction temperature is, (courtesy of Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc.) the better the performance and the longer the life of the LEDs. To increase the durability and the light cooling to enhance the convection heat lighting quality of the LEDs, thermal management transfer. Other researchers, Ma et al. [1], proposed is a critical aspect of the design. For indoor lighting the use of heat sinks with piezoelectric fins. This applications, using a mechanical fan/blower to cool paper discusses this novel concept of cooling LED the LED is out of question, due to acoustic noise heat sinks. and reliability concerns. So, most LED lights used in homes are cooled with heat sinks by natural The piezoelectric effect is the linear convection (see Figure 1). However, for high power electromechanical interaction between the LEDs, this passive thermal solution will reach mechanical and the electrical state in crystalline its performance limit due to low convective heat
