摘要 |
The fan speed controller disclosed herein is particularly useful in the cooling of electronic equipment and provides a feedback control characteristic from an exhaust air temperature sensor such that the change in outlet temperature over the range of air flow rates is substantially equal to the change in temperature rise of typical heat generating devices in electronic equipment over that same range. Accordingly, device temperature is maintained substantially constant over a range of varying input air temperatures. Preferably, the controlled fan includes a d.c. motor which is energized in a pulsed d.c. mode to prevent stalling or instability at low flow rates.
