Definition from
Network Dictionary:
A heat sink is a metal base or plate onto which one or more components are mounted to absorb, carry away, or radiate the heat generated by the component(s). Heat sinks are generally made of an aluminum alloy and often have fins. All computers require a heat sink. Some also require a fan. A heat sink without a fan is called a passive heat sink; a heat sink with a fan is called an active heat sink.
Example sentences:
The heat sink is secured to a printed circuit board with at least one heat generating component through the fixing portion of the base. The heat sink is improved by forming one or more slots at lateral sides of the base such that one or more deformable portions can be defined on the base. (Free Patents Online)
Heatsinks must be designed in a way that air can easily and quickly float through the cooler, and reach all cooling fins. Especially heatsinks having a very large amount of fine fins, with small distances between the fins may not allow good air flow. A compromise between high surface (many fins with small gaps between them) and good aerodynamics must be found. (The Heatsink Guide)
If your chip surpasses a certain temperature, it will fail and cease to operate. Finding a heat sink will be vital to keeping the chip humming and performing as it was meant to. (eHow.com)

kylfläns
Definition from
Wikipedia:
Kylfläns är en detalj i metall konstruerad för att avleda värme från ett objekt. Kylflänsar konstrueras ofta i koppar, eller i billigare varianter aluminium, då dessa metaller är bra på att avleda värme. Det är också vanligt att kylflänsar kombinerar metallerna, genom att ha en kopparplatta i direkt anslutning till värmekällan för att sedan kopplas ihop till en större kylfläns i aluminium.
Example sentences:
Om din dator har två till tre år på nacken är det troligt att den har en processorkylare med en fläkt som monterats på toppen av kylflänsen, och som sedan blåser ned mot processorn. (Mikrodatorn)
Om centralprocessorns kylfläns ersätts kommer den termiska avkylningsdynan att anslutas till den nya centralprocessorns kylfläns. (Dell)
Moderna processorer avger mycket värme och för att de ska fungera krävs en extra kylning av processorn. Det är därför alltid nödvändigt att ha en kylfläns och en fläkt som kyler processorn, annars kan den sluta fungera. (Paginas IT-ordbok)
