How to Optimize Heat Dissipation Design for Linear Modules in High and Low Temperature Environments?

To optimize heat dissipation for Linear modules in high and low temperature environments, a comprehensive approach must be taken across five dimensions: material selection, structural design, heat dissipation methods, temperature control, and environmental adaptability. The specific strategies are as follows:

 

1、High Thermal Conductivity Materials and Interface Optimization

Core Material Upgrades

Use aluminum nitride (AlN, thermal conductivity ~200 W/m·K) or graphene composite materials as substrates, replacing traditional alumina ceramics to improve thermal conductivity by over 5 times.

Select interface materials such as thermal paste (thermal conductivity ≥3.3 W/m²·K) or thermal gel (≥3 W/m²·K), ensuring the contact area between the module and the heat sink covers at least 70% of the chip area to eliminate air gaps (thermal conductivity of air: ~0.026 W/m·K).

Low-Temperature Environment Adaptation

Use solid-state electrolytic capacitors instead of liquid capacitors to avoid performance degradation at low temperatures. Increase startup capacitor capacity or add parallel MLCCs (multilayer ceramic capacitors) to enhance startup current in low temperatures.

Select wide-temperature-range components (e.g., chips operating from -40°C to 125°C) to prevent performance degradation in low temperatures.

 

2、Innovative Heat Dissipation Structural Design

Heat Pipe and Vapor Chamber Technology

Heat pipes should adopt a flattened design (thickness ≥1.5 mm), avoiding excessively small bending radii (recommended R ≥ 3 times the heat pipe diameter) to minimize thermal resistance.

Vapor chambers (VCs) use internal conductive textures to expand the heat exchange area, allowing heat from high-temperature areas to be uniformly conducted in vapor form.

Fin and Airflow Optimization

Fins should be oriented in the direction of the fan airflow to reduce wind resistance. The number and height of fins should be adjusted based on power density.

Design independent airflow channels to ensure cold air flows through the core area of the module and hot air is efficiently expelled.

 

3、Active Heat Dissipation and Intelligent Temperature Control

Multi-Mode Heat Dissipation Systems

Air Cooling: Use axial fans or blower fans (centrifugal blowers) with dynamically adjustable speeds based on temperature.

Liquid Cooling: For high-power Linear modules, adopt a "cold plate + circulation pump" system that uses phase-change fluid cycles to dissipate heat, improving efficiency by over 50% compared to air cooling.

Hybrid Cooling: Combine heat pipes, fins, and fans to achieve efficient heat dissipation.

Intelligent Temperature Control

Embed negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors or digital temperature sensors to monitor chip temperature in real time.

Dynamically adjust loads or heat dissipation strategies based on temperature thresholds.

 

4、Enhanced Environmental Adaptability

Protection Against Extreme High and Low Temperatures

High Temperatures: Allow sufficient temperature margins for components and select high-temperature-tolerant devices. Use multiple devices in parallel to distribute heat and avoid single-point overheating.

Low Temperatures: Use low-temperature solder to ensure reliable solder joints even below -40°C. Avoid concentrated thermal stress by dispersing heat sources in PCB layouts and reducing mechanical stress damage caused by material expansion and contraction.

Protective Structure and Sealing Design

Module housings should use stainless steel materials with fully sealed structures, achieving electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (SE) of ≥40 dB to withstand strong interference in the 30 MHz–1 GHz frequency range.

Critical interfaces should use waterproof connectors (IP65 rating) and shock-absorbing pads (silicone material) to withstand vibrations of 10–2000 Hz and 10g acceleration, preventing loose connections or chip solder joint detachment.

 

5、Simulation and Testing Verification

Thermal Simulation Optimization

Use software such as FloTHERM for transient thermal analysis to simulate the thermal distribution of Linear modules at different temperatures and optimize heat dissipation structures.

High and Low-Temperature Aging Tests

Place Linear modules in high-low temperature test chambers and perform cyclic tests from -40°C to 85°C to verify their startup performance, output stability, and lifespan under extreme temperatures.

 

What are the performance differences between high and low temperature Linear modules and ordinary Linear modules?

The performance differences between high/low temperature Linear modules (typically referred to as industrial-grade or wide-temperature-range modules) and ordinary Linear modules (typically consumer-grade or commercial-grade modules) stem from their distinct design goals and intended operating environments.

Simply put, high/low temperature Linear modules sacrifice peak performance and power efficiency in exchange for stability, reliability, and long-term lifespan under extreme temperatures.

Below is a detailed comparison across several key dimensions:

1. Operating Temperature Range (The Core Difference)

Ordinary Linear Modules: Typically designed to operate within the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This covers the environment for most consumer electronics (e.g., phones, computers, home appliances).

High/Low Temperature Linear Modules: Have a much wider operating temperature range, commonly including:

Industrial Grade: -40°C to +85°C

Automotive Grade: -40°C to +105°C (or even higher, with more stringent requirements)

Military/Aerospace Grade: -55°C to +125°C or wider.

Some specialized Linear modules can even operate in cryogenic environments below -100°C or high-temperature environments above +200°C.

2. Performance Stability and Reliability

Ordinary Linear Modules: Perform to specification within their rated temperature range. Performance can degrade sharply outside this range, potentially leading to timing errors, data loss, or even physical damage (e.g., electrolytic capacitor failure). Their design lifespan is typically a few years.

High/Low Temperature Linear Modules:

Low-Temperature Performance: At extremely low temperatures, carrier mobility in standard semiconductors decreases, reducing performance. These Linear modules employ special circuit design, component screening, and material selection to ensure normal startup and operation.

High-Temperature Performance: At high temperatures, component leakage current increases and heat dissipation becomes difficult, which can lead to thermal runaway. These Linear modules use high-temperature-resistant semiconductor processes, highly stable passive components (e.g., tantalum capacitors, ceramic capacitors), and rigorous thermal design.

Thermal Cycling Endurance: They must withstand repeated shocks from extreme cold to extreme heat, posing a significant challenge to the integrity of solder joints and packaging materials. They undergo strict thermal cycling tests.

3. Component Screening and Manufacturing Process

Ordinary Linear Modules: Use commercial-grade chips and components with standard production processes aimed at reducing cost and increasing yield.

High/Low Temperature Linear Modules:

Chip Level: Use industrial-grade, automotive-grade, or military-grade core chips (e.g., MCUs, memory, power ICs). These chips undergo stricter testing and screening at the wafer production stage to eliminate units with poor performance under extreme temperatures.

Component Level: Use exclusively wide-temperature-range passive components (resistors, capacitors, inductors), connectors, and PCB materials (e.g., high Tg laminates).

Process Level: May employ Conformal Coating for protection against moisture, corrosion, and salt spray. Higher standards for soldering processes are required to prevent cold joints.

4. Peak Performance and Power Consumption

Ordinary Linear Modules: To pursue high performance (high clock speed, high bandwidth, low latency), they often use more advanced manufacturing processes and aggressive power designs, offering the best experience at room temperature.

High/Low Temperature Linear Modules: Often operate at "downclocked" speeds or use more conservative designs.

Advanced processes can suffer from increased leakage current at high temperatures, so sometimes more mature but stable processes are preferred.

To control total power consumption and heat generation at high temperatures, their rated maximum operating frequency (e.g., CPU clock speed) may be lower than that of their consumer-grade counterparts.

In short: At room temperature, an ordinary module of the same technology generation may outperform a high/low temperature module in terms of speed.

5. Cost and Price

Ordinary Linear Modules: Cost-effective, competitively priced.

High/Low Temperature Linear Modules: Highly expensive. Reasons include:

The wide-temperature-range chips and components themselves are costly.

More complex material management and production processes.

Extremely rigorous testing (thermal cycling, extended burn-in, etc.) increases time and capital costs.

Their price can be several times to tens of times higher than that of ordinary Linear modules.

Application Scenario Comparison

Ordinary Linear Modules: Indoor electronics, office equipment, personal consumer electronics, general networking equipment.

High/Low Temperature Linear Modules:

Industrial: Outdoor industrial control, automation equipment (e.g., polar research stations, steel plants), power inspection, oil & gas exploration.

Automotive: Engine Control Units (ECUs), in-vehicle infotainment systems, autonomous driving sensors (mounted outside the vehicle, exposed to heat and cold).

Military/Aerospace: Satellites, missiles, radar, field communication equipment.

Medical: Certain in-vitro diagnostic equipment, low-temperature storage monitoring.

Outdoor: Base stations, surveillance cameras (outdoor models), drones (used for polar or desert research).

Summary Table

 differences between high and low temperature Linear modules and ordinary Linear modules

Conclusion:

The choice of module depends entirely on the application scenario. If your device operates in a climate-controlled indoor environment, ordinary Linear modules offer the best value. If your device needs to be deployed in a desert in summer, the Arctic in winter, a moving vehicle's engine bay, or the harsh environment of space, then high/low temperature Linear modules are fundamental to ensuring system survival and functionality. Their value far exceeds what performance specifications alone can measure.

At What Cooling Capacity Should You Choose a Screw-Type Air-Cooled Heat Pump

In the HVAC industry, screw-type air-cooled heat pumps are known for their stable performance and high efficiency, making them ideal for medium to large-scale cooling applications. However, they are not suitable for every project size. To truly benefit from their performance and efficiency, the system’s cooling capacity must reach a certain threshold — below which the investment may not be cost-effective, and above which the screw compressor’s advantages fully emerge.

Hstars industrial HVAC system screw chiller vs scroll chiller


Finding the Efficiency Threshold

The performance benefits of screw-type compressors become evident once the cooling load surpasses a specific level.
Compared with scroll compressors, a screw unit can handle larger capacities without multiple compressors running in parallel, reducing footprint, start-stop losses, and energy decay. Compared with reciprocating compressors, it offers higher energy efficiency and smoother capacity control under fluctuating loads.
This cooling capacity threshold marks the turning point where the system transitions from “overbuilt and uneconomical” to “efficient and well-matched.” Below it, you risk overspending; above it, you unlock the optimal balance between performance and cost.

Applications in Commercial Buildings

Once cooling capacity exceeds this threshold, the system adaptability of screw-type air-cooled heat pumps improves dramatically.
• In office buildings, their stepless slide-valve control can precisely follow cooling load variations during working hours.
• In three-star hotels or above, the low-noise operation of screw compressors ensures a quiet and comfortable environment.
• For medium-sized shopping centers, their robust pressure design handles complex piping systems effectively, minimizing leakage and improving reliability.

Applications in Industrial Facilities

In industrial environments, the benefits of screw-type heat pumps are even more pronounced:
• For electronics and precision instrument workshops, the rapid response and stable operation help maintain temperature consistency during intermittent processes.
• In food processing plants (such as dairy or bakery facilities), screw-type units support strict cold chain requirements with precise temperature control.
• For medium-sized data centers, the long maintenance cycle reduces downtime risks and enhances operational reliability.

When a Screw-Type Heat Pump Isn’t Ideal

If the cooling demand falls below this critical threshold—such as in convenience stores or small offices—a screw-type system may not be the right fit. Its higher initial cost and larger footprint can lead to unnecessary energy loss, the equivalent of “using a race car for city traffic.”
Conversely, for super-large facilities like massive commercial complexes or industrial parks, multiple screw units can meet the capacity demand, but centrifugal chillers often outperform them in full-load energy efficiency and total lifecycle cost.

Low-Temperature Environments

In regions where ambient temperatures are low and heating loads are high, screw-type air-cooled heat pumps with economizer (EVI) technology are recommended. They maintain excellent heating capacity at low temperatures, prevent defrost inefficiency, and ensure stable winter operation.

Conclusion

Screw-type air-cooled heat pumps are most suitable for medium-scale projects—where cooling demand exceeds a defined lower limit and where efficiency, stability, and adaptability matter most.
When selecting a unit, start by confirming your cooling load, then evaluate environmental factors such as noise, pressure, and temperature stability, along with your budget.
A properly matched screw system not only delivers optimal performance but also achieves long-term energy savings and operational reliability.

Methods for Troubleshooting Progressive Screw Pumps

 

Regarding faults in screw pumps, we at Anhui Shengshi Datang have some effective solutions.

First, ensure that no foreign objects enter the pump body.

If solid debris enters the pump body, it can damage the rubber stator of the progressive screw pump. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent debris from entering the pump chamber. Some systems install a grinder before the pump, while others use a screen or filter to block debris from entering the pump. Screens should be cleaned promptly to prevent clogging.

 

Second, avoid operating the pump without material.

The progressive screw pump absolutely must not run dry. If dry running occurs, the rubber stator can instantly overheat due to dry friction and burn out. Therefore, having a properly functioning grinder and clear screens are essential conditions for the normal operation of the pump. For this reason, some pumps are equipped with a dry-run protection device. When material supply is interrupted, the self-priming capability of the pump creates a vacuum in the chamber, which triggers the vacuum device to stop the pump.

 

Third, maintain a constant outlet pressure.

The progressive screw pump is a positive displacement rotary pump. If the outlet is blocked, the pressure will gradually rise, potentially exceeding the predetermined value. This causes a sharp increase in the motor load, and the load on related transmission components may also exceed design limits. In severe cases, this can lead to motor burnout or broken transmission parts. To prevent pump damage, a bypass relief valve is usually installed at the outlet to stabilize the discharge pressure and ensure normal pump operation.

progressive screw pumps

Fourth, reasonable selection of pump speed.

The flow rate of the progressive screw pump has a linear relationship with its speed. Compared to low-speed pumps, high-speed pumps can increase flow and head, but power consumption increases significantly. High speed accelerates the wear between the rotor and stator, inevitably leading to premature pump failure. Furthermore, the stator and rotor of high-speed pumps are shorter and wear out more easily, thus shortening the pump's service life.

 

Using a gear reducer or variable speed drive to reduce the speed, keeping it within a reasonable range below 300 revolutions per minute, can extend the pump's service life several times compared to high-speed operation.

 

Of course, there are many other maintenance methods for progressive screw pumps, which requires us to be more attentive during daily use. Careful observation will contribute significantly to proper pump maintenance.

 

How should faults in progressive screw pumps be handled? This article will mainly introduce methods for troubleshooting progressive screw pumps.

1. Pump body vibrates violently or produces noise:

A. Causes:​ Pump not installed securely or installed too high; damage to the motor's ball bearings; bent pump shaft or misalignment (non-concentricity or non-parallelism) between the pump shaft and the motor shaft.

B. Solutions:​ Secure the pump properly or lower its installation height; replace the motor's ball bearings; straighten the bent pump shaft or correct the relative position between the pump and the motor.

2. Transmission shaft or motor bearings overheating:

A. Causes:​ Lack of lubricant or bearing failure.

B. Solutions:​ Add lubricant or replace the bearings.

3. Pump fails to deliver water:

Causes:​ Pump body and suction pipe not fully primed with water; dynamic water level below the pump strainer; cracked suction pipe, etc.

 

The sealing surface between the screw and the housing is a spatial curved surface. On this surface, there are non-sealing areas such as ab or de, which form many triangular notches (abc, def) with the screw grooves. These triangular notches form flow channels for the liquid, connecting the groove A of the driving screw to grooves B and C on the driven screw. Grooves B and C, in turn, spiral along their helices to the back side and connect with grooves D and E on the back, respectively. Because the sealing surface where grooves D and E connect with groove F (which belongs to another helix) also has triangular notches similar to a'b'c' on the front side, D, F, and E are also connected. Thus, grooves A-B-C-D-E-A form an "∞"-shaped sealed space (If single-start threads were used, the grooves would simply follow the screw axis and connect the suction and discharge ports, making sealing impossible). It's conceivable that many independent "∞"-shaped sealed spaces are formed along such a screw. The axial length occupied by each sealed space is exactly equal to the lead (t) of the screw. Therefore, to separate the suction and discharge ports, the length of the threaded section of the screw must be at least greater than one lead.

 

9 Essential Safety Points to Understand Before Using High-Temperature Magnetic Drive Pumps

 

High-temperature magnetic drive pumps are compact, aesthetically pleasing, small in size, and feature stable, user-friendly operation with low noise levels. They are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, petroleum, electroplating, food, film processing, scientific research institutions, defense industries, and other sectors for pumping acids, alkaline solutions, oils, rare and valuable liquids, toxic liquids, volatile liquids, and in circulating water equipment, as well as for supporting high-speed machinery. They are particularly suitable for liquids that are prone to leakage, evaporation, combustion, or explosion. It is best to choose an explosion-proof motor for such pumps.

Advantages of High-Temperature Magnetic Drive Pumps:

1. No need to install a foot valve or prime the pump.

2. The pump shaft is changed from dynamic sealing to enclosed static sealing, completely avoiding media leakage.

3. No independent lubrication or cooling water is required, reducing energy consumption.

4. Power transmission is changed from coupling drive to synchronous dragging, eliminating contact and friction. This results in low power consumption, high efficiency, and provides damping and vibration reduction, minimizing the impact of motor vibration on the pump and pump cavitation vibration on the motor.

5. In case of overload, the inner and outer magnetic rotors slip relative to each other, protecting the motor and pump.

6. If the driven component of the magnetic drive operates under overload conditions or the rotor jams, the driving and driven components of the magnetic drive will automatically slip, protecting the pump. Under these conditions, the permanent magnets in the magnetic drive will experience eddy current losses and magnetic losses due to the alternating magnetic field of the driving rotor, causing the temperature of the permanent magnets to rise and leading to the failure of the magnetic drive slip.

Precautions for Using High-Temperature Magnetic Drive Pumps:

1. Prevent Particle Entry

(1) Do not allow ferromagnetic impurities or particles to enter the magnetic drive or the bearing friction pair.

(2) After transporting media prone to crystallization or sedimentation, flush promptly (fill the pump cavity with clean water after stopping the pump, run for 1 minute, then drain completely) to ensure the service life of the sliding bearings.

(3) When pumping media containing solid particles, install a filter at the pump inlet.

 

2. Prevent Demagnetization

(1) The magnetic torque must not be designed too small.

(2) Operate within the specified temperature conditions; strictly avoid exceeding the maximum allowable media temperature. A platinum resistance temperature sensor can be installed on the outer surface of the isolation sleeve to monitor the temperature rise in the gap area, enabling an alarm or shutdown if the temperature limit is exceeded.

 

3. Prevent Dry Running

(1) Strictly prohibit dry running (operating without liquid).

(2) Strictly avoid running the pump dry or allowing the media to be completely drained (cavitation).

(3) Do not operate the pump continuously for more than 2 minutes with the discharge valve closed, to prevent overheating and failure of the magnetic drive.

 

4. Not for Use in Pressurized Systems:

Due to the existence of certain clearances in the pump cavity and the use of "static bearings," this series of pumps must absolutely not be used in pressurized systems (neither positive pressure nor vacuum/negative pressure is acceptable).

 

5. Timely Cleaning:​

For media that are prone to sedimentation or crystallization, clean the pump promptly after use and drain any residual liquid from the pump.

 

6. Regular Inspection:​

After 1000 hours of normal operation, disassemble and inspect the wear of the bearings and the end face dynamic ring. Replace any worn-out vulnerable parts that are no longer suitable for use.

7. Inlet Filtration:​

If the pumped medium contains solid particles, install a strainer at the pump inlet. If it contains ferromagnetic particles, a magnetic filter is required.

 

8. Operating Environment:​

The ambient temperature during pump operation should be less than 40°C, and the motor temperature rise should not exceed 75°C.

 

9. Media and Temperature Limits:​

The pumped medium and its temperature must be within the allowable range of the pump materials. For engineering plastic pumps, the temperature should be <60°C; for metal pumps, <100°C. The suction pressure should not exceed 0.2MPa, the maximum working pressure is 1.6MPa, for liquids with a density not greater than 1600 kg/m³ and a viscosity not greater than 30 x 10⁻⁶ m²/s, and which do not contain hard particles or fibers.

High-temperature magnetic drive pumps replace dynamic seals with static seals, making the pump's wetted parts fully enclosed. This solves the unavoidable running, dripping, and leaking issues associated with the mechanical seals of other pumps. Manufactured using highly corrosion-resistant materials such as engineering plastics, alumina ceramics, and stainless steel, these pumps offer excellent corrosion resistance and ensure the pumped media remains uncontaminated.
