EAO to feature state-of-the-art airflow testing system at Drives & Controls 2022
30Mar

Sanyo Denki portable dual chamber thermal management tester.
EAO Ltd, the UK’s principal representative for leading Japanese cooling airflow specialist Sanyo Denki Ltd. is utilising the company’s innovative portable dual chamber thermal management testing system to maximise the thermal efficiency of customers’ equipment by accurately measuring and reporting the cooling performance of their enclosure designs.
Sanyo Denki’s innovative dual chamber on-site test system eliminate customers’ guesswork when designing cooling architectures in high static-pressure applications such as servers, telecom racks and digital signage.
EAO’s dedicated team of cooling specialists is able to utilise the new Sanyo Denki airflow testing system on-site to identify and eliminate the cooling issues in a customer’s design that can lead to thermal overload and premature failure of critical equipment.
According to Jason Slaughter, Sanyo Denki Product Manager with EAO Ltd, the kit enables the system impedance (resistance to airflow), the operating airflow (the actual airflow when the cooling the fan is mounted) and P-Q performance (airflow versus static pressure) of a populated enclosure to be easily measured and plotted as curves in a simple Excel graphical form. By overlaying this data over any fan performance curve the EAO team is able to optimise airflow around the enclosure whilst reducing noise and power consumption. The P-Q fan curves of fans from other manufacturers may also be easily digitised and overlaid onto any graph for comparison purposes.

In addition to enabling the optimum fan for a particular design to be speedily identified, the new Sanki Denki testing system eliminates the need for a built-in the safety margin that inevitably leads to over-design and wasted money: "The new airflow testing system can lead to great improvements in the thermal design of equipment by enabling it to perform to its full potential whilst optimising power consumption and fan noise”, continued Slaughter. "By taking mulitple measurements, it is possible to test out design improvements in real time and save weeks of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) work by delivering real-world test calculations. The testing service takes around one hour and provides immediate results".
