Comparing heat sink designs

Get to your final design faster

Iterate though multiple heat sink design analyses in a few minutes to find the best design for your application and avoid building multiple costly prototypes

Dimensions/Optimization Image

Find your optimum design automatically

Set your limits and let the calculator find the dimensions: the lowest source temperature, the lightest heat sink, or the lowest pressure drop that keeps your sources below their temperature limit.

Power Source Image

You don't need to be a thermal expert

Simple and straight forward inputs make it easy to run your analysis. Enter your heat sink dimensions, power(heat) source values and flow conditions, and immediately get results.

Air Flow Image

Quickly determine the best cooling method for your design

Analyze natural convection cooled heat sinks in multiple orientations for your application. Are you using a fan for high power components? Evaluate the fan cooled heat sink's performance by entering the fan curve data points. Select among impinging, ducted and bypass flow based on your application. Using liquid cooling? Analyze liquid-cooled heat sinks with water or ethylene/propylene glycol mixtures in ducted or bypass flow.
