How does thermal paste work? Why is there no effect after applying the substrate?

2023-09-05

Heat dissipation paste is a kind of heat dissipation material, which is widely used in many household appliances, such as computers, TVs, microwave ovens and so on. Industrial electrical appliances are also used in the manufacturing process, such as automobiles, power modules, triodes, rectifiers, graphics cards, integrated lights, radiators, etc. With such a wide range of applications, how about the cooling effect?


The thermal paste has a good heat dissipation effect. After use, it can effectively transfer the heat energy emitted by the heating element of the electrical appliance during the working process, and transfer it out in time to avoid the accumulation of heat energy of the electrical appliance and burn it. Now electrical appliances are basically used, and after use, they can still achieve temperature resistance, and the heat dissipation performance remains unchanged between minus 50 degrees and minus 200 degrees.


Why does the thermal paste have no effect after being applied to the base material?

1. The quality of thermal paste is not good. Heat dissipation paste is directly related to heat dissipation performance. Good quality heat dissipation paste has guaranteed heat dissipation performance, while poor quality heat dissipation paste has poor heat dissipation performance. After a period of use, the oil separation is serious and it has almost no effect.

2. There is an error in the construction thickness. The heat dissipation paste has strict requirements on the construction thickness, and the thickness should not exceed 3mm. If the application thickness is too thick, the heat dissipation performance will be reduced, or even not. If the thickness of the application is too thin, it is not easy to apply evenly, and air will be generated in places with gaps, resulting in non-thermal conductors.

3. There is dust on the construction surface. During the construction of heat dissipation paste, there are dust, water vapor, oil and other impurities in the base material. If they are not cleaned and applied directly, the overall heat dissipation performance will be affected.

4. The construction location is out of specification. Thermal paste not only has strict requirements on the construction thickness, but also has stricter requirements on the construction location. Only when it is applied in the middle of the heating element of the electrical appliance and the heat dissipation facility can the heat dissipation performance be exerted, and the application of other locations has no effect.


Heat dissipation paste is a common material. This material has been widely used, because the amount of use is not much, and the shelf life is relatively long. It is more favorable to buy in large quantities at the time of purchase. At this time, it is more secure to purchase products with a wide range of applications. It can be used in household appliances and LED lights, effectively reducing waste.
