RESEARCH QUALITY, CLOSED LOOP WIND TUNNEL
The CLWT-100™ is a research quality wind
tunnel designed for component, heatsink, printed
circuit board, and unit level characterization.
It can be used for flow characterization,
flow visualization and thermal resistance
measurements. The CLWT-100™ is a closed
loop design capable of delivering air flows from 0
to 5 m/s and producing temperature ranges from
-10°C to +85°C.
It has aerodynamically designed ducts and flow
management elements that provide uniform
and homogenous flow in the test section. Air
flow temperature control is achieved using
conventional heaters and refrigeration units.
Wind tunnel heat losses are minimized by a
double wall design with thermal insulation. The
test section is thermally insulated by a Delrin
frame having front and side windows made of a
heat resistant multilayer glass panel for optical
access and ease of flow visualization.
There are 24 sensor ports in front and on the
sides of the test section for inserting a variety
of probes, such as thermocouples, Pitot
tubes,velocity measuring sensors, etc. Wind
tunnel control is automated using ISD™ and
stagePOINT™ technologies.
