Thermal conductivity and thermal resistance analysis of copper forgings in construction machinery

The thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of copper forgings of construction machinery are the key parameters, which have an important influence on the thermal management and heat dissipation effect of the equipment. I will analyze it below:

  1. Heat conductivity:
    Copper forgings of construction machinery are usually made of pure copper or copper alloy materials, which have good heat conduction properties. Taking pure copper as an example, its thermal conductivity is as high as 386 W/(m·K), which is much higher than most metal materials. This means that construction machinery copper forgings can more effectively transfer heat from one area to another, accelerating the heat diffusion and heat dissipation process.
  2. Thermal resistance:
    Thermal resistance refers to the ability of a material or structure to resist the transfer of heat and is measured in K/W (Kelvin/Watt). For copper forgings of construction machinery, the thermal resistance mainly includes two aspects:
    a. Material thermal resistance: Because copper forgings of construction machinery usually use materials with good thermal conductivity, the thermal resistance of the materials is relatively low, so it can quickly transfer heat.
    b. Structural thermal resistance: Structural thermal resistance refers to the thermal resistance caused by the shape and structural design of copper forgings in construction machinery. For example, there is a local bulge or hole structure caused by thermal resistance increase. Therefore, when designing copper forgings of construction machinery, it is necessary to pay attention to the optimization of structure to reduce thermal resistance and improve heat dissipation effect.

In summary, copper forgings of construction machinery have good heat conductivity and can transfer heat quickly. However, its thermal resistance will be affected by the material itself and the structural design. In order to improve the heat dissipation effect, materials with better thermal conductivity can be selected, and the structural design of copper forgings can be reasonably optimized to reduce the thermal resistance. This can effectively reduce the temperature of copper forgings of construction machinery, improve its thermal management and heat dissipation effect.
