As consumers demand smaller, faster computer systems, OEM design engineers race to create systems with compact, more powerful microprocessors and chipsets. However, these compressed designs provide engineers with a new enemy…heat. In minutes, densely packaged microprocessors or compact electronic systems can generate enough heat to destroy years worth of work. A design engineer … [Read more...]
Low Noise Axial Fan Applications
There are three basics to creating low-noise axial fan applications: airflow path design initial fan design analysis and correction of specific acoustical responses in the physical model Each is important and contributes to the overall sound levels of the program. Figure 1. Representative flow-versus-pressure characteristic of system air path.A flow-versus-pressure … [Read more...]
