The ATS iFLOW-200 system measures the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of a cold plate. It replaces the complex process of varying the volumetric flow rate of the coolant, and measuring the pressure drop and temperature of the cold plate. iFLOW-200 users simply set up the starting flow, ending flow, number of test points, dwell time, power applied to the cold plate and other parameters in the coolingVIEW software and run the application.
iFLOW-200 Features:
Measures a cold plates inlet/outlet fluid temperature, surface temperature, coolant volumetric flow rate and pressure drop by providing different flow rates to the cold plate.
Measures coolant temperature from 0-70oC with accuracy of +/-1oC, using K-type thermocouples. Distilled water is used as the reference coolant.
Measures cold plate differential pressure up to 103000 Pa (15 psi) with pressure measurement of +/-1% of full scale.
Features a separate control box and hydraulics units with USB connections.
Includes user-friendly coolingVIEW application software that automates the testing of a cold plate by setting the required parameters.
Software, coolingVIEW, calculates thermal resistance and pressure drop of the cold plate as a function of flow rate for selected liquids other than distilled water.
