Abstract
An improved heat sink device for transferring heat from a heat generator to lower-temperature surroundings comprising a device-embedded compound that absorbs heat, delaying temperature rise in the heat generator, at a specific temperature by melting or entering into an endothermic chemical change or reaction and which is absorbed and retained within the device by a mesh or fabric of a multiplicity of fibers.
Claims12
An improved heat sink device for transferring heat from a heat generator to lower-temperature surroundings by radiation, covection, and conduction, wherein the improvement comprises:
- a device-embedded compound that absorbs heat at a specific temperature, delaying temperature rise in the heat generator;
- and a multiplicity of fibers to absorb and retain said compound within the device, both below and above said specific temperature, said fibers being partially exposed as an outer surface of the device providing heat transfer by radiation and convection.
An improved heat sink device for transferring heat from a heat generator to lower-temperature surroundings, wherein the improvement comprises:
- a device-embedded compound formed in filaments that melt at a specific temperature absorbing without temperature rise a quantity of heat proportional to the latent heat of fusion of said compound delaying temperature rise in the heat generator, said filaments first being wrapped and twisted with many smaller diameter metallic wires to form yarn which is then woven into a mesh used in at least one layer, said metallic wires absorbing and retaining said compound within the device, both below and above said specific temperature.
