Abstract

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the cooling performance characteristics with the consideration of the temperature variations of the enclosure of the 400W ferrofluid active speaker having both woofer and amplifier heat sinks. In order to do this, the heat sinks for both woofer and amplifier was designed ant applied to 400W ferrofluid active speaker. As a result, the cooling performance of the developed 400W ferrofluid active speaker was improved and the temperature of the enclosure after 120 min at steady state increased by $2.8^{\circ}C$ with the increase of the outdoor temperatures from $25^{\circ}C$ to $29^{\circ}C$. In addition, the overall sound pressure level of the developed 400W ferrofluid active speaker showed 111.8 dB and improved 1.9 dB higher than 109.9 dB of the existed speaker.

본 연구의 목적은 앰프 및 우퍼용 히트싱크가 장착된 400W급 자성유체 액티브 스피커의 방열성능 특성을 파악하기 위하여 엔클로저 내부의 온도 변화 특성을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 이를 위하여 앰프 및 우퍼용 히트싱크를 설계하여 400W급 자성유체 액티브 스피커에 적용하였다. 결과적으로, 개발된 앰프 및 우퍼용 히트싱크가 장착된 400W급 자성유체 액티브 스피커의 방열성능은 개선되었고, 외기온도가 $25^{\circ}C$에서 $29^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 스피커의 내부 온도는 상승하여 정상상태인 120 min경과 후 엔클로저 내부 온도는 $31.4^{\circ}C$에서 $33.2^{\circ}C$$1.8^{\circ}C$ 증가하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서 개발된 400W급 자성유체 액티브의 음압레벨은 기존의 액티브 스피커의 음압 레벨인 109.9 dB 보다 1.9 dB 향상된 111.8 dB로 우수하게 나타났다.
