Footnote: The Physics of Heat Transfer
Heat energy, q, radiated between two bodies is determined by the formula:
q
1-2
=
σε
A 1 F 1−2
(
T 14
−
T 24
)
An important part of this equation is ε which is the “emissivity”. The larger ε is, the more heat
transfer takes place. ε is largest for a black surface (1.0). That’s why wood stoves and car
radiators are painted black.
HEAT TRANSFER AND THE
SPL170 -- 30 % BETTER COOLING
One of the major features of the SPL170 is its incorporation of materials and coatings to
provide transfer and elimination of heat.
•
When heat is produced in the voice coil, it must be removed. During speaker operation,
heat from the voice coil is radiated and convected into the air and metal in the motor
parts.
•
The SPL170 includes unique aluminum plates attached to the top, pole and back plates
to increase heat conduction from the steel parts. Additionally, the steel parts are black
coated to increase their ability to absorb heat from the voice coil.
Tests show almost 30% improved heat transfer from the 170’s voice coil. This produces a
dual benefit to power handling and output:
1.
More power handling before voice coil meltdown.
2. Reduced electrical resistance in the voice coil windings resulting in more current flow
capability.
