Introduction
Computer radiators are heat exchangers used to transfer the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device from the inside of case to outside for the purpose of cooling.
Most radiators transfer the bulk of their heat via convection instead of thermal radiation.
Types
There are two main types of computer radiators: Air-cooling radiator and Water-cooling radiator.
1. Air-cooling radiator
There are 3 types of air-cooling radiator: Extruded aluminum radiator, Copper core radiator, and Tower fin radiator.
2. Water-cooling radiator
There are two types of water-cooling radiators: Integrated water-cooling radiator and Split water-cooling radiator.
