How to improve system performance with fan controls and protections

August 4, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

When an end system produces excess heat, designers commonly turn to dc fans to provide forced-air cooling for improved heat dissipation. Based on the well-known thermal-convection principle, forced air cooling should typically go beyond simply selecting a fan and running it full-time in your application. This full-time operation suffers from both its inefficiency and long-term […]
