Thermal network model for temperature prediction in hard disk drive

Abstract: In this paper, an alternative numerical method has been proposed to predict the temperature distribution in a 1.8-in. hard disk drive (HDD). Comparing it with conventional finite element model, the proposed thermal network model takes lesser time in predicting the HDD temperatures for both steady-state and transient analysis, and with good accuracy. In addition, it has been shown that this method is capable of performing temperature shock analysis.

“…Thermal network models, also known as resistance-capacitance (RC) networks, introduced by Beuken [1] and then rapidly developed in combination with the lumped capacitance method by other researchers, are widely used in a transient heat flow analysis at relatively low computational costs [2]. They are frequently employed in the thermal modelling of different physical objects of various complexities, such as the hard disk drive [3], the two-phase closed thermosyphon [4], the high-power LED light [5], the combustion chamber of the diesel engine [6], or the passive-cooled battery pack [7]. In addition to these problems, thermal networks are commonly used in building-related simulations.…”

“…It must be noted that accurate predictions rely on integrated model that concludes the power losses estimation and the energy transfer. A number of analyses concerning the thermal behaviour of specific transmission elements such as the bearing and the gears have been carried out [1][2][3][4][5][6]. However, these studies are generally concentrated on the single component and do not account for their interactions with other surrounding elements.…”

“…In the past, the TNM has been employed in gear transmissions and electronics products. Low et al have been developed a TNM to predict the steady-state and transient temperature in a hard disk drive [6]. Diab et al applied the TNM which considered the power losses in the gear unit to describe the temperature distribution in a gear transmission [7].…”
