Adjustable Heat Spreader for a Heat Sink - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18422102 titled 'Adjustable Heat Spreader for a Heat Sink
An adjustable heat spreader is a device that can be mounted to a support surface to cool at least one element. It includes heat spreading inserts that can be adjusted and fitted with the mounting body to bring an insert contact surface into contact with the element to be cooled. The mounting body also has a mount contact surface for interfacing with a separable heat sink.
- The adjustable heat spreader is designed to efficiently cool elements by bringing the insert contact surface into direct contact with them.
- The heat spreading inserts can be adjusted and fitted with the mounting body, allowing for flexibility in cooling different elements.
- The mounting body includes a mount contact surface for interfacing with a separable heat sink, enhancing the overall cooling efficiency.
- This innovation provides a versatile and customizable solution for cooling various elements in different applications.
- By optimizing the contact between the heat spreading inserts and the elements to be cooled, this technology improves heat dissipation and thermal management.
