WT-3067-Wind-Tunnel

Supported Applications

The Omega WT-3067 is a laboratory-grade benchtop closed loop wind tunnel designed for the thermal characterization of printed circuit boards (PCBs), individual components, and heat sinks. The system recirculates internal air to enable rapid heating to specific temperatures while maintaining controlled flow conditions.

Documented applications include:

• High temperature testing
• Heat sink characterization
• Sensor calibration
• Component testing
• Aerodynamic and pressure drop measurement
• Multiple PCB testing

The system features very low turbulence intensity, making it suitable for precise thermal analysis in a controlled environment.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The WT-3067 operates within specific flow and temperature envelopes to support component characterization. The closed-loop design allows the unit to reach temperatures from ambient up to 85°C (185°F) with a stated temperature accuracy of ±1°C.

Flow performance specifications include:

• Flow Range: 0 to 7 m/s (0 to 1200 ft/min)
• Flow Accuracy: ±2%
• Flow Uniformity: ±1%

The unit requires a main AC voltage of 220 Vac and is protected by a 20 Amp fuse. The system weight is 70.7 kg (156 lb), requiring a minimum support table size of 115 L x 50 cm W (45.2 x 19.7").

Test Section Dimensions

The test section provides the following internal dimensions for component placement:

• Length: 41.8 L (16.4")
• Width: 22.5 W (8.9")
• Height: 8.9 cm H (3.5")

The test section includes six sensor ports to measure flow parameters.

Configuration Options

The WT-3067 series is configured as a complete system including the wind tunnel controller and software on a thumb drive. The enclosure construction utilizes aluminum, sheetmetal, and LEXAN™ materials.

Key configurable or included capabilities include:

• Control Interface: Graphical user interface for automated operation, flow control, temperature control, and data viewing
• Sensor Ports: Six ports available on the test section for external sensors to measure flow parameters (sensors sold as optional accessories)
• Housing Access: Quick access panel provided for component installation
• Certifications and Compliance: RoHS compliant; ISO 9001 Certified manufacturing facilities in Stamford, CT and Manchester, UK
• Warranty: 1 YEAR WARRANTY included

The system is designed for benchtop use. Models with different voltage requirements may be available upon request.

Key Product Differences

The WT-3067 represents a single model configuration within this series: the Laboratory-grade benchtop closed loop wind tunnel. The standard unit ships complete with the controller and software media. No alternative housing styles, sensor element types, or output signal configurations are documented as distinct variants for this specific series code.
