ABSTRACT:
A test apparatus includes a plurality of sensors placed proximate an airflow generator (e.g. a fan) to measure flow rates in respective sub-regions. The test apparatus also includes a controller (e.g., test software) to calculate an operating point of the airflow generator based on flow rate data from the sensors and to determine if the operating print falls within a predefined operating range of the airflow generator. Based on this determination, the controller is able to indicate if the airflow generator is appropriate for use in a given system chassis.
