    Measuring airflow into large electrical enclosure

    Hi, I need to measure flow rate through some approx. .5 m2 inlets that supply cooling air to some large, densely packed enclosures. Flow rate is around 500-2000 cfm per inlet, driven by backward curved radial blowers making up to 700Pa. The inlets are basically rectangular holes through the...

    Best air flow measurement method?

    Hi, I often need to know mass flow rate through air cooled industrial equipment and usually struggle to get repeatable measurements using vane or hot wire anemometers. I can only measure at the intakes, which are up to 700mm (~28") sq with flow in the 1500 to 5000 CFM range. Fan pressure is...

    Confused - Fan pulling air through a heat sink

    Hi, I have a cooling application that needs fans downstream of a heat source. When I try to account for the air density change (hot air at fan) I run into this problem: -A fan pulls air through a heat sink. -Constant heat is applied to the sink. Its exhaust temp rises and air density drops...
