• Component Testing: Evaluate the effects of air flow on an individual or multiple component’s temperature and PCB response and reliability

The CLWT-067-PCIe, is a unique closed loop wind tunnel for thermal characterization of components, boards and heat sinks for PCIe boards. Its test section dimensions are (L x W x H) 43.1 x 25.0 x 8.9 (inside wall to wall) cm (16.9 x 9.8 x 3.5 inch).

Unlike open loop wind tunnels, the CLWT-067-PCIe recirculates internal air. This allows the system heater to quickly warm the air to a specific temperature. The testing of boards and components in hot air is a requirement in many electric systems such as components and power supplies. The precise controls of air temperature and velocity along with the board temperature range of the CLWT-067-PCIe wind tunnel makes it a versatile test instrument for a variety of applications.

The complete wind tunnel fits on most lab benches and is powered from the CLWTC-1000 (sold separately).
