Example (Without Heatsink)
To determine the minimum airflow necessary for a QHL750300S48 operating at an input voltage of 300 V, an output current of 11 A, and a maximum
ambient temperature of 25°C:
Determine Power dissipation (Pd):
Pd =48 V× 11 A×(1-0.91)/0.91 = 47.47
Pd = Pi-Po = Po(1-η)/η,
Where Pi = Input power, Po = Output Power and η = Efficiency
Determine airflow from airflow derating graph using data points for Pd=47.47 W and Ta = 25 °C
Minimum airflow= 800 ft./min.
To check that the maximum case temp of 85 °C is not exceeded:
Maximum temperature rise is
ΔT = Pd × Rca=47.47×1.23=58.38°C.
Maximum case temperature is
Tc=Ta+ΔT=83.38°C <85°C.
Where: Rca is the thermal resistance from case to ambient environment. Ta is ambient temperature and Tc is case temperature.
