Base enclosure airflow

The base enclosure uses an adaptive cooling algorithm that increases or decreases fan speed as the unit senses changes to the external ambient temperature. Exhaust increases with ambient temperature and fan speed, and is roughly linear within recommended operating parameters. Note that the information in the table below is typical, and was measured without cabinet front/rear doors that would potentially reduce front-to-back air flow.

Table 1. Base enclosure airflowColumn one lists the maximum airflow, and the other columns provide the minimum airflow and the max power usage.
Max Airflow CFM Min Airflow CFM Max Power Usage (Watts)
165 CFM 50 CFM 850 W
