The foremost function of a Temperature Rise Test is to validate the thermal design and performance of a product. Engineers use sophisticated models to design cooling systems, such as heat sinks, fans, and ventilation pathways. However, these models remain theoretical until proven. The Temperature Rise Test serves as the critical bridge between digital simulation and physical reality. By operating the equipment at its full rated load and measuring the temperature increase of its key components above the ambient temperature, engineers gather empirical data. This data confirms whether the thermal management system functions as intended, ensuring that the product can handle its designated workload without compromising its integrity. Without this test, a design is merely an unproven hypothesis.
