Abstract: A method or system of creating a design for a heat sink comprising receiving: property inputs from a user, including either target physical dimensions for the heat sink including its material of construction, or the maximum temperature of an electrical element adjacent to the heat sink, along with the power level for the electrical element; calculating a predicted temperature of the electrical element; generating comparisons showing the impact of independently changing each of the property inputs and materials of construction and the resulting change to the predicted temperature of the electrical element; allowing the user to change a property input after the comparisons are generated; selecting a design for the heat sink; and creating design specifications to manufacture the heat sink.

Abstract: Disclosed are polyurethane-foam forming compositions, rigid polyurethane foams and methods for their production, as well as to composite articles comprising such foams sandwiched between facer substrates, including use of such composite elements for side-wall and/or roof insulating elements for refrigerated tractor trailers. The rigid polyurethane foams are produced from an isocyanate-reactive composition comprising: (1) a polyol blend; (2) a hydrochlorofluoroolefin; and (3) a tertiary amine catalyst composition.

Abstract: Polyol premixes and thermally insulating rigid polyurethane foams, such as those that can be used as a thermal insulation medium in the construction of refrigerated storage devices, are disclosed. A polymer polyol having a OH number of greater than 260 mg KOH/g is utilized. The resulting polyurethane foams can exhibit improved thermal insulation properties without sacrificing other important physical and processing properties.
