Advanced Thermal Solutions WTC-100 – Open Loop Wind Tunnel Controller

• Fully automatic controller to control the air velocity in a chamber-like wind tunnel or card rack
• Helps automate thermal characterization of heat sinks, boards and components
• Two independent sensors for measuring air temperature and velocity simultaneously
• Velocity range: 0.2 – 50 m/s (60 – 10,000 ft/min)
• Temperature range: -10°C to 120°C

The Advanced Thermal Solutions WTC-100 wind tunnel controller is a device used to control the air velocity in a chamber-like wind tunnel or card rack. The WTC-100 helps automate thermal characterization of heat sinks, boards and components in a wind tunnel or card rack testing for different fan tray configurations. It is equipped with two independent sensors for determining air temperature and velocity to facilitate rapid feedback of the airflow inside the test chamber.

The controller communicates with a PC through a USB port, enabling fully automated airflow testing. Uni-sensor-based control and measurement enable the user to control the airflow anywhere inside the test chamber. 

The flow range, step increment and dwell time are set by the user via the stageCONTROL software application. The software is user-friendly and provides easy data viewing and logging.
