Ribbed heat sink

[Divor]

Hi

Why is the heat sink on the HOG 2nd stage ribbed? Aesthetic/symmetric purposes?

Also why are there never any threads in heat sinks?

Thanks in advance.

I actually don't think of it as a heat sink but as a spacer that is needed there, and the ribs are for aesthetic reasons.

I have no idea why there are never threads on heat sinks.....

How about bathroom sinks?

Thanks, cerich. I assumed it was a heat sink because I took apart a second stage and compared it to a Zeagle second stage service manual, which had an almost identical part labelled 'heat sink' there.

This is all part of my PhD project, will PM you when I have a more solid prototype ready, if interested. It's an innovation support system for scuba equipment manufacturers, amongst other things.
