CZT DETECTOR CZT DETECTOR BOARD WITHIN CZT DETECTOR BOARD 5 o 4 o 5o RADIATOR HEAT PIPE 5 o • Thermal Analysis has five Steps: • Transfer of heat from CZT Detector to the CZT Detector Board. • Transfer of heat within the CZT Detector Board. • Transfer of heat from CZT Detector Boardto the Heat pipes. • Transfer of heat from Heat pipes to Radiator. • Radiator design. TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT STAGES IN ONE QUADRANT
Transfer of heat from CZT Detector to the CZT Detector Board q = k A ΔT Where q = Power = 0.780 W, k = Thermal Conductivity of thermal epoxy = 0.08 W / cm2 oK A = Area = 4 cm2 ΔT = 0.78 / (0.08 * 4) = 2.42 o K If we consider factor of safety 2, it may be about 5 o K.
Design of Detector Board • Cu-In-Cu • Copper Coating
Transfer of heat within the CZT Detector Board • The Detector Board of 20Cu/60In/20Cu. • The thickness of Detector Board is 3mm. • The preliminary analysis give the maximum temperature on the Detector Board of the quadrant is about 4o.
Boundary Conditions • Temperature at the edges of Detector Board is 0o • CZT Power (780 mW) distributed equally in 20mm X 20mm area
Analysis shows • Heat Drain from two opposite sides of the Detector Board is necessary. • Radiation losses not considered.
Implications of quadrants failures for thermal design • Suppose one of the quadrants fails then radiator will dissipate about 37 W (50 W ), the Radiator will have temperature of - 27o ( - 20o ). • Suppose two of the quadrants fail then radiator will dissipate about 25 W (50 W), the Radiator will have temperature of - 40o ( - 20o ). • Possible use of heaters to be considered after final simulation.
CONCLUSIONS • Total temperature difference is within 15 o to 20 o . • Procuring one Detector Board and measure temperature difference.
