Optimization of High-Power LED Heat Sinks

LED灯比白炽灯泡更高效、更通用、更耐用，它彻底改变了园艺行业。为了防止LED出现性能问题，LED灯产生的热量通过附带的散热器消散。这种散热器传统上又大又重。URSA开发了一系列具有精心设计的光谱的led，用于最佳植物生长，但尚未针对温暖潮湿的温室环境中的散热进行优化。该研究项目将增强和优化URSA的soptilux系列园艺灯中独特的LED配置的散热器。由此产生的原型将耗散这些灯所需的热负荷与一个最佳的小而轻的散热器。由此产生的散热器将使公司的成本基础受益，使他们的灯具更轻，更具成本效益，更具竞争力。该项目将使园艺照明更加轻便、经济、节能，这将有助于增加加拿大种植者的温室产量，并减少加拿大食品生产的总体碳足迹。此外，在园艺照明领域成功推出一种新颖的、颠覆性的、高效的、具有成本效益的产品，将为URSA和整个园艺领域创造更多的就业机会。

More efficient, versatile, and longer-lasting than incandescent bulbs, LED lights have revolutionized thehorticulture industry. To prevent performance issues in the LED, heat generated by an LED light is dissipatedthrough an attached heat sink. Such heat sinks are traditionally large and heavy.URSA has developed a range of LEDs with carefully engineered spectra for optimal plant growth, but whichhave not yet been optimized for thermal dissipation in warm and damp hothouse environments.This research project will enhance and optimize heat sinks for the unique LED configuration within URSA'sOptilux series of horticultural lights. The resulting prototype will dissipate the required heat load of these lightswith an optimally small and lightweight heat sink.The resulting heat sink will benefit the company's cost base by rendering their light fixtures lighter, more costeffective, and more competitive.This project will make horticultural lighting more lightweight, affordable, and energy-efficient, which willhelp to increase yields in greenhouses for Canadian growers and also reduce Canada's overall carbon-footprintfor food production. In addition, the successful launch of a novel, disruptive, efficient, and cost-effectiveproduct into the horticultural lighting sector will lead to the creation of more jobs at URSA and in thehorticultural sector as a whole.
