Abstract

Modern tendencies of the early-warning radar stations development are aimed at permanent increase of equipment power. In this respect, the key problem at the stage of an early-warning radar station designing is determining the thermal mode of the radio-electronic equipment, since selection of poorly efficient cooling system will drastically degrade the developed product reliability. engineers are faced with the most important task of determining the thermal regime of radio-electronic equipment. The article presents the results of thermal processes modeling in the transceiver module of the early-warning radar station. Modeling was being performed with the Flow Simulation module integrated into the SolidWorks CAD system. The purpose of the simulation consisted in thermal mode determining of the transceiver module, temperatures of its key subassemblies, as well expediency and effectiveness estimation of heat tubes application, which act as the basic heat removal element in the transceiver module cooling system.
