BENCHTOP WIND TUNNEL
BWT-104™
RESEARCH QUALITY BENCHTOP WIND TUNNEL
The BWT-104™ is a research quality, open loop,
benchtop wind tunnel for thermal characterization
of components, circuit boards and cooling devices
such as heat sinks, heat exchangers and cold plates.
The polynomial shape and internal flow management
system includes honeycombs and screens to break
up turbulence to provide uniform, homogeneous flow,
up to 4 m/s (800 ft/min) within the test section.
The BWT-104™ has 18 ports which allows a variety
of probes, such as thermocouples, Pitot tubes, and
temperature and velocity sensors, among others, to be
inserted throughout the test section. The wind tunnel is
made from aluminum and Plexiglas^®, to provide a clear
view of the test section for flow visualization. Rail guides are
provided in the test section so the board (PCB) in the test position can be adjusted. An access
panel is conveniently located for mounting boards. The mounting of the boards can be adjusted in
three different directions (i.e. spacing from the walls can be adjusted using appropriate stand offs).
The BWT-104™ weighs only 21 kilograms (47 lbs.) making it ideal for laboratory environments.
Each BWT-104™ fan tray is equipped with three 24-volt DC fans, which can be individually
switched on and off through a control unit for simulating fan failure simulation. BWT-104™
can be equipped with ATS’ WTC-100™ automatic controller to facilitate testing without
attendance. The combination of BWT-104™ and WTC-100™ can expedite and automate
testing programs such as component or heat sink thermal
characterization, PCB thermal simulation and others that
can be time consuming. ATS also carries a full line of
