BENCHTOP CLOSED LOOP WIND TUNNEL FOR ELEVATED TEMPERATURE
TESTING OF BOARDS AND COMPONENTS
The CLWT-067^TM is a research-quality
closed loop wind tunnel that provides a
convenient, accurate system for thermally
characterizing PCBs and individual
components at controlled temperatures
from ambient to 85°C.
The CLWT-067^TM wind tunnel produces
air flows up to 7 m/s (1,378 ft/min). With
customization, it can generate flows up to
50 m/s (10,000 ft/min) using orifice plates
(available optionally). The clear Lexan test section lets the user view the test specimen
and allows for flow visualization.
Unlike open loop wind tunnels, the CLWT-067^TM recirculates internal air. This allows the
system heater to quickly warm the air to a specific temperature. The testing of boards and
components in hot air is a requirement in some NEBS and other standards. The precise
controls and temperature range of the CLWT-067^TM wind tunnel allow its use for testing
heat sink performance and for calibrating air and temperature sensors.
The complete wind tunnel fits on most lab benches
and is powered from standard AC outlets. It has a
smaller footprint than traditional, closed loop wind
tunnels or environmental test chambers.
The wind tunnel’s test section can be accessed
from the top door for mounting and repositioning of
boards, components and sensors. Optional internal
rail guides provide an easy mechanism to install test
specimens of different sizes (e.g., PCB, heat sink).
Instrument ports (6) are provided in the side walls of
the test section for placing temperature and velocity
sensors, such as thermocouples, Pitot tubes and hot-
wire anemometers.
