The integration of Single Board Computers (SBC) into an array of applications, ranging from home automation to industrial control systems, has witnessed a remarkable surge in recent years. As these compact devices take on more complex tasks, ensuring their optimal thermal performance becomes pivotal. Overheating not only affects the efficiency but can drastically shorten the lifespan of the components. Recognizing this challenge, a dedicated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) steady thermal analysis has been set in motion for a unique SBC housing design that incorporates a cooling pipe system.
The cooling pipe system, an innovative approach to heat dissipation, promises enhanced thermal regulation compared to traditional fan-based solutions. By circulating a coolant through the pipes, the design aims to swiftly draw heat away from the SBC and disperse it effectively.
Through the CFD analysis, our primary objective is to map the temperature distribution within the SBC housing under various operational loads. This would provide a comprehensive insight into potential hotspots, efficiency of the cooling pipes, and overall thermal robustness of the assembly.
In essence, this endeavor seeks to push the boundaries of SBC housing designs by integrating and evaluating a cooling pipe system. The overarching goal is to ensure that the assembly can maintain optimal temperatures, ensuring longevity and efficient performance of the SBC within.
