Thermal simulation removes basestation
hotspot
Improved cooling scheme first modelled using thermal simulation software enables more powerful amplifiers to be placed in compact enclosures.
Thermacore has used Flomerics' Flotherm thermal simulation software to solve a challenging thermal management problem in a tower mounted amplifier (TMA) for a cellular basestation Thermal simulation showed that the heat from the 1 x 1.5in amplifier chips did not spread out sufficiently to use the full extent of the heatsink, causing the chips to overheat
