CWT Series Wind Tunnel Comparison

OPEN LOOP WIND TUNNEL
CWT Series
FEATURES:
» Component Temperature Testing
Evaluate the effects of airflow
on components, temperature and
PCB response and reliability
CONTROLLED OPEN LOOP WIND TUNNEL
» H eat Sink Characterization
These research quality wind tunnels are designed for PCB and component
level testing. They are used in air flow characterization and flow visualization,
thermal resistance measurements and generation of P-Q curves.
Characterize a variety of heat
sink sizes for natural and forced
convection cooling
» Sensor Calibration
Fans are tray-mounted and easily replaced with another tray to
accommodate larger or smaller fans. If other flow ranges are required,
the air velocity in the test section can be varied from 0 m/s (0 ft/min) to
10 m/s (2000 ft/min) with the fan tray that is provided. (see chart below)
Uniform velocity profile at the
test section allows accurate
calibration of sensors
» H eat Sink Comparison
There are sensor ports on the front and sides of the test section, which
allows for the insertion of a variety of probes, such as thermocouples,
Pitot tubes, velocity measuring sensors, etc. The test section is made
of PlexiglasTM for ease of flow visualization.
Test two heat sinks side by side
and compare their thermal performance in the same environment
» P ressure Drop Testing
Measure pressure drop across
components or PCB for a given flow
PCBs are mounted on a flexible railing in the test section. The flexibility
of the movable mounting plate allows users to design and build their
own modifications to suit specific needs. The mounting plate can be
adjusted in two directions using appropriate length standoffs.
» Multiple PCB Testing
Test actual or simulated PCBs
for thermal and flow distribution
The wind tunnel has honeycombs and screens to suppress
turbulence and provide uniform and near homogeneous flow
at the test section. A mounted diffuser at the exit and before
the fans helps with pressure recovery to provide a smooth flow.
» Flow Visualization
* Power supply not included.
» Variable Speed
Observe air flow distribution in the
tunnel by smoke or buoyant bubbles
through the all PlexiglasTM test section
