Piezoelectric Spot Cooler

A fan using the bending motion of a piezoelectric bimorph has been considered to be suitable for a cooling device that cools IC packages separately. To attain small size and low power consumption, shape dependance of some properties in the fan were studied and the best suitable sizes were calculated...

Summary:A fan using the bending motion of a piezoelectric bimorph has been considered to be suitable for a cooling device that cools IC packages separately. To attain small size and low power consumption, shape dependance of some properties in the fan were studied and the best suitable sizes were calculated. Further, qualities of vibration metal blade were investigated, and theoretical design basics for a piezoelectric bimorph fan were established.
