Abstract

The article describes the procedure for calculating the thermal regime of a unit. The unit under study is part of a phased array. The calculation of the thermal regime allows you to verify the operability of the device under a steady thermal regime and to verify that the choice of the method of cooling the structure is correct. The work of the unit is analyzed under conditions of convective heat exchange without forced cooling at the maximum operating (permissible) ambient temperature. The calculation of the thermal regime of the unit is carried out in two stages. At the first stage, the temperature of the unit case is determined when the unit case overheats in the first approximation. The overheating value is determined from the graph. The calculation is carried out under conditions of natural air cooling. At the second stage, the average surface temperature of the heated zone is determined. The greatest heating in the unit is observed in the area occupied by the board with ERE. According to the results of the calculation, a problem was revealed, which consists in the fact that under the given operating conditions of the investigated device, the unit area is heated above the maximum operating temperature of some ERE. The value of the average surface temperature of the heated zone of the unit exceeds the value of the maximum allowable temperature of the least heat-resistant element of the heated zone. This means that it is necessary to use forced air cooling by air convection. The article proposes a solution to the problem of unit overheating, and describes the method of forced air cooling and its design.
