Owner's manual

The WT-3106 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)
