Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) has introduced the iTHERM-100 Test Station, a turnkey system of laboratory instruments and sensors for studies that require precise air flow velocity and temperature measurement. Applications include thermal management studies on boards, heat sinks, fans, ATCA cards, and racks.
The iTHERM-100 Test Station includes a benchtop, laboratory-grade wind tunnel, automated controller, and multiple sensors to precisely manage the velocity and direction of airflow within its test environment. The system can be used for characterizing air flow and measuring pressure drop across heat sinks and over other PCB components. With an attached thermocouple, the iTHERM-100 can be used for individual thermal management studies on CPUs and other hot components.
