Innovation in Thermal ManagementTM


Liquid Crystal Thermographic Analysis Tool

thermVIEW™ is a high resolution liquid crys-


tal thermography system for cost effective tem-
perature measurement of electronic circuit
boards, micro circuits, hybrids, components
and integrated circuits.

What is liquid crystal thermography? (LCT)

thermVIEW™ system uses the color response of


thermochromic liquid crystals (TLC) for the pur-
pose of temperature measurement. Liquid crys-
tals reflect incident light at the visible wave
length based on the temperature of the surface
to which they are applied.

Wind Tunnels Innovation in Thermal ManagementTM
For thermal characterization

Wind tunnels for all testing needs


ATS offers a host of research quality wind tunnels designed for component, board, & heat sink
characterization. Transparent test sections provide optical access for flow visualization.

CLWT-100™
• Uniform and homogenous flow at the test section due to its aero-
dynamic design.
• Insulated test section features front and side windows made of heat
resistant multilayer glass panels for optical access.
• Twenty four sensor ports in the front and sides of the test section
allow for insertion of a variety of thermal probes.
• Automated wind tunnel control utilizes ATVS-2000™
and stagePOINT™ technologies.

CWT-100™
• Powered by variable DC fans mounted at
the exit section of the tunnel.
• Replaceable fan tray to accommodate
small or large fans.
• Uniform and homogeneous flow at the test section as
a result of the internal flow management system.
• Custom designs available for larger/smaller test
sections.
