Unreferenced date March 2011 A heat spreader is most often simply a copper plate, having high thermal conductivity . Functionally, it is a heat exchanger that moves heat between a heat source and a secondary heat exchanger whose surface area and geometry are more favorable. By definition, the heat is spread out , such that the secondary heat exchanger increases the heat capacity of the assembly. These properties make it a better match for an air heat exchanger, since the low heat conduction for air in convection is matched with higher surface area. A heat spreader is generally used when the heat source tends to have a high heat flux density , high heat flow per unit area , and for whatever reason, heat can not be conducted away effectively by the secondary heat exchanger. For instance, this may be because it is air cooled, giving it a lower heat transfer coefficient than if it were liquid cooled. A high enough heat exchanger transfer coefficient is sufficient to avoid the need for a heat spreader.
