Harris Cold Plate Testing Rig




The Harris Cold Plate Testing Rig is an experimental device designed to measure air flow and heat transfer coefficients for a heated duct under pulsating and steady state air velocity. The creation of this testing rig was sponsored by the Harris corporation in order to investigate a phenomenon that Harris has been experiencing with their heat sinks (cold plates) under pulsating air flow. The testing rig was developed by our group of electrical and computer engineering majors in conjunction with a team of mechanical engineering majors.

 

The testing rig is property of Harris
