CWT-106™
CUSTOMIZED RESEARCH QUALITY WIND TUNNEL
The CWT-106™ is a research quality wind tunnel designed
for multiple PCB and component level testing. It is used in air
flow characterization and flow visualization, thermal resistance
measurements and generation of P-Q curves. The large test
section (24 x 24 x 6") is designed to accommodate multiple
PCBs as seen in a typical ATCA chassis.
The wind tunnel can also be used to characterize different
heat sink sizes for natural and forced convection cooling.
Multiple heat sinks can be tested side by side to determine
their thermal performance in the same environment.
The CWT-106™ produces uniform air flows of up to 6 m/s
(1200 ft/min). Air is drawn into the tunnel with up to five variable
DC fans mounted at the exhaust section of the tunnel. These
fans are mounted on a tray and can be easily replaced with
another tray to accommodate larger or smaller fans,
should different air flow ranges be required.
An internal flow management system, with honeycombs and screens, breaks up
turbulence and provides uniform and homogeneous flow in the test section.
The CWT-106™ can be operated both vertically and horizontally and features a
Plexiglas™ test section for ease of flow visualization.
The CWT-106™ includes 18 sensor ports in front and on the sides of the test section
for the insertion of a variety of probes, such as thermocouples, Pitot tubes, velocity
measuring sensors, etc.
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.
