NORWOOD, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) will provide a half-day of free,
no-obligation use of its unique Thermal Characterization Laboratory to engineers
who need to perform thermal testing of their heat sinks, fans and fan trays,
PCBs, blades, enclosures, or complete systems. Experienced engineers and board
and system designers can perform the tests themselves, or consult with an ATS
thermal engineer at no cost during their 4 hours of laboratory time. 

ATS` Thermal Characterization Lab features a full range of research-quality
instruments, including open and closed loop wind tunnels for ambient and
elevated temperature testing. All wind tunnels are PC-driven controls and
provide automated data collection. The lab also offers a full array of the
company`s sensor systems and thermocouples, which can be used to characterize
electronic products under variable airflow and temperature conditions. 

The lab includes a JEDEC approved component thermal testing facility for
conducting a multitude of device-level tests per JEDEC standards. There are also
complete liquid crystal and IR thermography systems for non-invasive temperature
mapping to 0.1oC with one micron-level spatial resolution; and a liquid cooling
facility is available for complete testing and characterization of cold plates
for measuring cooling effects and evaluating design concepts. 

"Most of today`s electronics have thermal situations that can turn into big
problems if left alone. The easiest, lowest cost way to manage this is to
conduct an accurate thermal characterization of the problems at hand," said
Kaveh Azar, Ph.D., president and CEO of Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. "If you
have the right facility and associated know-how, you can often complete your
tests in a half-day, then you can readily assess what is the best thermal
solution for your application. For engineers short on time and resources, we
believe this free use of ATS` Thermal Characterization Lab could be very
helpful." 

For more information or to apply for a free 4-hour use of the ATS Thermal
Characterization Lab in Norwood, Mass. engineers should contact ATS directly or
apply via the company`s Website www.qats.com. All testing and results reporting
are completely confidential. Certain restrictions and limits on customer
products may apply, e.g. overall size. Consultation prior to use of the lab is
not charged or considered part of the free time offer. ATS thermal test
engineers will also advise lab patrons how to optimize their free testing period
prior to arriving.
