RANDOLPH, Mass., — Controlling thermal behavior and heat buildup within a chassis is a persistent challenge for manufacturers and designers of embedded systems.
Addressing the issue for AMC and MicroTCA applications, XTech solutions engineers have created faceplate assemblies with adjustable air baffles-offering increased control of chassis airflow through module-based impedance balancing.
The unique designs use sliding, slotted tracks secured by screws, as well as an externally controlled rotating vane.
The adjustable baffles are made with sturdy, lightweight aluminum. As seen in the photo, the units are available in an array of Mid- and Full-size configurations, offered in single and double width form factors.
