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.
