The

 

WT-3100 can be used for the following applications: 

 

 

Heat Sink Testing-

 Characterize a variety of heat sink sizes for natural and forced 

convection cooling. 

 

Heat Sink Comparison-

 Test two heat sinks side by side and compare their thermal 

performance in the same environment. 

 

Component Testing-

 Test vehicle for component characterization. 

 

PCB Testing-

 Test actual or simulated PCBs for thermal and flow distribution. 

 

Flow Visualization-

 Observe flow distribution when a PCB or test object is placed in the 

tunnel by smoke or buoyant bubbles through the all Plexi-

glass™ test section. 

 

Variable Speed-

 Change the flow rate by controlling the fan RPM. 

 

Flow Direction-

 

Test the effect of flow direction (fan failure simulation) by controlling the 

fans (either variable RPM or on/off). 

 

Quick Access-

 Quickly change the test specimen through the side panel. 

 

Sensor Port-

 Measure pressure, velocity and temperature through the ports at the entrance 

and exhaust of the test section. 

 

Data Center

-

 View data and monitor events at the data center

 

(optional accessory)
