software : SAAM - System Cooling Analysis Tool

Data input
Shelf data input from flow pressure curves
Form filling or simple text file
Board data from published supplier information
Form filling or simple text file
Edit delta T, power and required airflow on-line

Compare
Cooling performance of different shelves
Performance of different boards
delta T requirement
Power requirement
Airflow impedance
System airflow balance

Determine
Is there sufficient airflow per board?
Is there too much airflow?
Is air bypass reducing flow to other boards?
Effect of different ambient temperatures
Effect of different altitudes
(air density changes)
Board mix changes
Effect of new board introduction

The system cooling analysis tool
Change boards
Change slot positions
Change shelves
Change conditions
- and see the impact!
