| Abstract | Remotely-deployed wireless devices such as tower-top active antenna arrays, remote radio heads, and pico- or femto-cells are an increasingly prevalent feature of communications systems. Outdoor devices can feature high levels of heat dissipation, and can operate in harsh atmospheric conditions with ambient temperatures as high as 55°C and wind speeds as low as 0m/s during periods of peak solar loading. In this paper, the influence of geometric and environmental parameters on outdoor communication equipment is examined. Using an analytical model and CFD analysis, a range of parameters, geometric and environmental, were investigated for a heat sink structure, with and without a solar shield, within a representative tower-mounted wireless device for a specific urban location at the hottest time of the year (Kuwait in Summer). The geometric parameters investigated were shield length, vertical position and clearance; and the environmental parameters were solar irradiation and orientation, and ambient temperature. For a fixed temperature rise above ambient, the heat dissipation from the sink structure reached a minimum at 13:30 in the day. There was a significant difference between this environmentally-defined worst case and the condition stipulated by telecommunications standard GR-487, which was more conservative. Shielding the heat sink marginally reduced solar ingress at the worst-case time of day, and facilitated marginally greater heat dissipation. Enhancing the length of the shield induced a chimney flow, which further augmented heat dissipation. The findings of this paper are of practical relevance for the thermal design of outdoor communications equipment: in particular, it is evident that the use of standard environmental conditions is conservative in comparison with a more comprehensive design process which references representative worst -case data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
