Thermal resistance-the velocity of cooling air
Testing results of thermal resistance against the velocity of cooling air are shown. At low cooling air velocity such as 1 m/s, the obtained thermal resistance was 0.50-0.55 K/W. But with cooling air velocity higher than 2.0 m/s, the thermal resistance can be kept below 0.25 K/W at any orientation.
