There are many common installation methods for New Energy Aluminum Alloy Radiator, each of which has its own characteristics and applicable scenarios.
1. Bolt-on installation
This is a more traditional and firm installation method. The radiator is pre-designed with mounting holes, which are connected with bolts at the corresponding mounting positions on the new energy equipment. When installing, first ensure that the mounting holes of the radiator are accurately aligned with the holes on the equipment, and then use bolts, nuts and washers of appropriate specifications to tighten. The advantage of this method is that the connection is firm and can withstand the vibration and displacement generated during the operation of the equipment. For example, in the battery thermal management system of new energy vehicles, due to the bumps during the driving of the vehicle, the use of bolts to fix can ensure that the radiator is stably installed near the battery pack and effectively dissipate the heat generated by the battery. However, this installation method is relatively complex, requiring precise hole design and certain installation tools, and the installation time may also be longer.
2. Clip-on installation
The clip-on installation method is relatively simple and quick. There is an elastic clip on the edge or specific position of the radiator. When installing, just align the clip with the slot on the new energy equipment, and then press or push it hard to make the clip snap into the slot to complete the installation. This method does not require additional tools and has high installation efficiency. In some new energy devices that require high space compactness, such as small solar inverters, snap-on installation can easily install the radiator in a limited space. However, the firmness of snap-on installation is weaker than that of bolt fixing, and is suitable for scenes where the stability of the radiator is not extremely high and the equipment vibration is small.
3. Adhesive installation
Adhesive installation is to use special thermal conductive glue to stick the radiator to the heat dissipation surface of the new energy equipment. This method can provide good thermal conductivity because the thermal conductive glue can fill the small gap between the radiator and the surface of the equipment and reduce thermal resistance. In some electronic equipment heat dissipation applications, such as circuit board heat dissipation inside new energy charging piles, adhesive installation can effectively transfer heat from the heating element to the New Energy Aluminum Alloy Radiator. However, adhesive installation has high requirements for the cleanliness and flatness of the pasting surface, and the curing time of the glue may affect the installation efficiency. In addition, once the pasting is completed, it will be difficult to disassemble and reinstall.
4. Embedded installation
Embedded installation is to embed the radiator partially or completely into the shell or internal structure of the new energy equipment. This method can better integrate the radiator with the equipment and improve space utilization. For example, in the heat dissipation of the control cabinet of some large wind turbines, the New Energy Aluminum Alloy Radiator is embedded in the wall panel of the control cabinet, which does not take up extra space and can effectively dissipate heat. However, embedded installation requires overall consideration at the equipment design stage, and requires high precision in the size matching of the radiator and the equipment.
