Heat dissipation device
Abstract
A heat dissipation device includes a fan module, a first plate structure and a fin assembly. The fan module includes a fan outlet. The first plate structure is disposed at the fan outlet. The thermal conductance of the first plate structure is above 100 W/(m·K). The first plate structure includes a heat-absorbing and a heat-dissipation surface. The heat-absorbing surface includes a heat-absorbing region in thermal contact with a heat source. The heat-dissipation surface includes a heat-dissipation region. The fin assembly is disposed on the heat-dissipation surface and in thermal contact with the heat-dissipation surface. The fan module is adapted to exhaust an air flow flowing above the heat-dissipation surface via the fan outlet. The air flow flows through the heat-dissipation region before through the fin assembly. The distance between the fan outlet and the heat-dissipation region is greater than the distance between the fan outlet and the fin assembly.
