Background and objectives of activities
The High performance flat heat pipe heat spreader (commonly known as "FGHP") developed by Assistant Professor Takashi MIZUTA of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering is a vapor chamber with the world's highest heat dissipation capability. It is a revolutionary new cooling component with high performance and space saving. For the purpose of supporting social implementation of high-brightness LED lights using this FGHP, it was installed in Project Laboratory 2 of the Multifunctional Demonstration Laboratory 1F, Industry-Academia Exchange Plaza Building for the first time at the University as a show window for the technology.
Summary of Activities
Project Laboratory 2 on the first floor of the Multifunctional Demonstration Laboratory in the Industry-Academia Exchange Plaza Building is a two-story atrium structure. Previously, four mercury lamps and 12 fluorescent lamps had been used. These were replaced with a single FGHPR lamp, which not only saves power with LEDs (1/8 of power consumption), but also serves as a technology showcase by improving durability and reducing air conditioning energy due to low heat generation. In addition, six lamps (10 conventional mercury lamps) will be established in one of the ballroom lighting fixtures in the Faculty of Education to verify their use outdoors.
Expected Benefits
Expected to improve energy efficiency throughout the world.
