Taking the single chip AT89C51 as the control core, the semiconductor refrigeration technology is introduced into the LED heat dissipation research. The PID algorithm and PWM modulation technology are used to control the input voltage of the semiconductor refrigeration chip, and then the control of the semiconductor refrigeration power is realized. The feasibility of this method.
With the rapid development of LED technology, LED has entered the market of general lighting. However, the development of LED lighting systems is largely affected by thermal issues. For high-power LEDs, heat dissipation has become a bottleneck restricting its development. The semiconductor refrigeration technology has the advantages of small size, no need to add refrigerant, simple structure, no noise, stability and reliability. With the advancement of semiconductor material technology and the discovery of high thermoelectric conversion materials, semiconductor refrigeration technology is used to solve the LED lighting system. The heat dissipation problem will have a very realistic meaning.
1. The cause of LED heat generation and the effect of heat on LED performance
At the forward voltage, the electrons receive energy from the power source. Under the driving of the electric field, the electric field of the PN junction is overcome, and the N region transitions to the P region. These electrons recombine with the holes in the P region. Since the free electrons drifting to the P region have higher energy than the P region valence electrons, the electrons return to the low energy state during recombination, and the excess energy is released in the form of photons. However, only 30% to 40% of the released photons are converted into light energy, and the remaining 60% to 70% are converted into thermal energy in the form of point vibration.
Since the LED is a semiconductor light-emitting device, and the semiconductor device changes itself with changes in temperature, the inherent characteristics thereof change significantly. An increase in the junction temperature of the LED results in a change in device performance and attenuation. This change is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:
1. Reduce the external quantum efficiency of the LED;
2. Shorten the life of the LED;
3. The main wavelength causing the LED to emit light is shifted, resulting in a shift in the color of the light source. High-power LEDs generally use more than 1W of electric power input, which generates a lot of heat, and solving the heat dissipation problem is a top priority.
2, semiconductor refrigeration principle
Semiconductor refrigeration, also known as electronic refrigeration, or thermoelectric cooling, is a discipline that has developed from the 1950s on the edge of refrigeration technology and semiconductor technology. It is also known as the world's three major refrigeration systems with compression refrigeration and absorption refrigeration. The basic device of a semiconductor refrigerator is a thermocouple pair, that is, an N-type semiconductor and a P-type semiconductor are connected into a thermocouple (see Figure 1). After the DC current is applied, temperature difference and heat transfer occur at the interface. . A pair of pairs of semiconductor thermocouples are connected in series on the circuit, and the heat transfer is parallel, thus forming a common refrigeration thermopile. By means of various heat transfer means such as heat exchangers, the hot end of the thermopile continuously dissipates heat and maintains a certain temperature, and the cold end of the thermopile is placed in the working environment to absorb heat and cool down, which is the principle of semiconductor refrigeration.
