Convection

Conduction

One of the Coolest Topics in Power Supply

There are several cooling methods in the power supply industry: - Fan cooled (uses an internal fan) - Forced air cooled (requires external airflow)

- Conduction cooled (relies on a cold plate to remove the waste heat) - Convection cooled (based on circulation or movement of hot air) TDK-Lambda’s broad selection of convection and conduction cooled power supplies are ideally suited for applications that can’t rely on fans for cooling. Eliminating the fan from your device, can decrease audible noise and reduce possible mechanical failure. Overall, it can increase your system’s reliability, and reduce required maintenance. Our convection cooled power supplies include the GXE series that offers advancedmonitoring and programming functions; the CUS series which is suited for medical equipment; and the CFE series that especially fits 1U applications. Our conduction cooled power supplies include the CM4 range which is the world’s first conduction cooled modular power supply; and the CPFE series that was especially developed to operate in harsh environments.
