having been poked and prodded I'm starting a lab worklog
there will be little to no step by step stuff, just completed pieces
(odds and ends of fabrication)
and PICs of equipment and test setups
then wander around and take some PICs of other stuff tomorrow
my DegreeC (Cambridge) AccuSense ATM-24 w\ 24 x CAFS-220 sensors
an anemometer array (ATM = Airflow and Temperature Monitoring)
I should be able to build decent airflow maps and even determine some rudimentary turbulence levels,
not to mention thermal gradient maps for given cases, fan layouts and cooling products.
and the AccuTRAC software
dialing in altitude and barometric pressure
and about as far as I can go without anything to hook it to.
but should look like this soon.
will allow me to measure both the airflow rate and temperature of cases (24 spots per setup)
and is commonly employed for exactly that in the industry to verify Computation Fluid Dynamics Models
of electronic enclosures
a depressing number of these tools are currently beige
be forewarned, eventually I'll need to do something about that.

Im going to start off with my latest score which hasn't even shipped yetthought Id add a thank you here in the front, I owe most of what Ive been able to accomplish to Bill Adams (BillA), formerly owner of thermal-management-testing.com, then with Swiftech and now with CoolingWorks without whose advice I'd still be wasting money, of course all the guys at ProCooling both staff and forum members especially pHaestus and Joe Citarella's work both there and elsewhere and bigben2k. Bob Moyer with Autotest, Phil Hughes with Eesiflo, Kim Jensen with Dantec Dynamics, the folks at Keithley, and too many forum mates to list (you know who you are). And above all W1zzard.
