Maintenance methods for thermal interface materials mainly include the following aspects:
Regular cleaning: The heat dissipation device using thermal adhesive should be cleaned frequently to avoid dust or dirt affecting the heat dissipation effect.
Avoid extrusion: Avoid extrusion of thermal adhesive to prevent strong extrusion and deformation of thermal adhesive during use.
Appropriate use: When applying thermal grease, the principle of "appropriate amount and uniformity" should be mastered. Too much thermal grease is not only wasteful, but may also seep out under pressure.
Correct installation: When installing the radiator, ensure that it fits tightly with the heating element to avoid excessive gaps and prevent the thermal grease from being squeezed and leaking oil.
Regular inspection: Regularly inspect and maintain the equipment, promptly discover and deal with the oil leakage problem of thermal grease, and ensure that the heat dissipation performance of the equipment is not affected.
Storage environment: Thermal grease should be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry environment, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature. After opening, the thermal grease should be used up as soon as possible. The unused grease should be sealed and stored to prevent moisture, deterioration or oil leakage.
The above maintenance methods can effectively extend the service life of the thermal interface material and ensure that it always maintains a good heat dissipation effect.
