The ultimate challenge of stability and durability of fanless industrial computers
With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, fanless industrial computers are increasingly used in the field of industrial control. Compared with traditional industrial computers, fanless industrial computers, with their unique heat dissipation design and high integration, bring higher stability and reliability to industrial environments. However, the heat dissipation challenges brought by fanless design cannot be ignored. This article will focus on the test methods of fanless industrial computers and how to ensure their stability and durability through rigorous testing.

1. Heat dissipation challenges of fanless industrial computers
Fanless industrial computers usually use efficient heat sinks and heat pipe technologies to achieve fanless heat dissipation by optimizing internal structures and heat dissipation paths. However, this design has extremely high requirements for the heat dissipation system. Once the heat dissipation is poor, it will directly lead to a decline in equipment performance or even damage. Therefore, during the testing phase, the evaluation of heat dissipation performance is particularly important.
2. Preparation before testing
Before testing fanless industrial computers, you need to prepare the corresponding test equipment and environment. Test equipment includes power meters, thermometers, hygrometers, etc., which are used to monitor the operating status and environmental parameters of the equipment in real time. The test environment should simulate the environmental conditions of the actual industrial site, including temperature, humidity, dust, etc., to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
3. Test process and key indicators
The test process of fanless industrial computers usually includes the following key steps:
1. Startup test: During the equipment startup phase, focus on monitoring the startup current, startup time and temperature of each component. Ensure that the equipment can start normally within the specified time and the temperature of each component does not exceed the preset safety range.
2. Load test: When the equipment is running at full load, the stability and heat dissipation performance of the equipment are tested by continuously increasing the load. At the same time, record the temperature change and performance degradation of the equipment to evaluate its performance in the actual working environment.
3. Long-term operation test: Simulate the scenario of long-term continuous operation of the equipment to test its durability and stability. This test usually lasts for several days or even weeks to fully evaluate the performance of the equipment.
4. Environmental adaptability test: Test under different environmental conditions, including high temperature, low temperature, high humidity, dryness and other extreme environments to test the environmental adaptability of the equipment.
