"Why does the KPA500 suck air from the top vents and blow it out the back"
I asked quite a while ago what thermal analysis had been performed on the KPA500 and got no answer here. It would seem reasonable for the fan to augment natural convection rather than oppose it. Kenwood built a batch of TS-590SG with the fans installed backwards but eventually they corrected the mistake in production. I don't think Elecraft ever decided the KPA500 fan was the wrong way round. Now for a KPA500 mystery question - does heat flow from the Z bracket into the heatsink or does it flow from the heatsink to the Z bracket? 73, Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
