The Kanomax Small Tabletop Wind Tunnel provides a compact, controlled airflow source for research, education, instrument verification, and small-device testing. Designed for installation on a laboratory bench or worktable, the system generates air velocities from 0.5 to 20 m/s while occupying significantly less space than a conventional laboratory wind tunnel.
Its Eiffel-type blowout design produces stable, uniform airflow through a 140 mm internal-diameter outlet. Despite its compact size, the wind tunnel achieves a velocity distribution of 2% or less, supporting dependable comparisons and repeatable experimental conditions. It is available in a preset-control configuration and an inverter-only configuration to accommodate different operating requirements.
Designed for Airflow Research, Education, and Instrument Testing
From university fluid mechanics laboratories to industrial research and development facilities, the Kanomax Wind Tunnel supports a wide range of airflow testing applications. Its compact footprint makes it especially valuable for organizations that need controlled airflow but do not have the space or infrastructure required for a full-scale wind tunnel.
Common applications include:
- Fluid mechanics education and demonstrations
- Daily accuracy checks of thermal and vane anemometers
- Comparative testing of airflow sensors and probes
- Aerodynamic testing of compact components and prototypes
- Evaluation of cooling airflow for electronics and other devices
- Performance testing of small wind-powered equipment and models
- Airflow visualization and early-stage product development
The system can also be used as a consistent cooling-air source when evaluating the thermal performance of electronic components, ventilation products, heat sinks, and other small devices.
Controlled Airflow for Repeatable Testing
The wind tunnel generates air velocities across a range of 0.5 to 20 m/s, supporting both low-speed airflow studies and higher-velocity performance testing. The Model S0522195 includes preset operating points near 0.5, 1.0, 5, 10, and 20 m/s, along with a zero-speed setting. These preset controls allow users to move quickly between frequently used test conditions while improving consistency across repeated measurements.
Users can verify the generated velocity with a reference anemometer and perform comparative checks by placing the reference probe and test probe in the airflow sequentially. This makes the system well suited for routine operational checks of anemometers and sensors between formal calibrations. A reference anemometer is not included with the wind tunnel.
Stable, Uniform Airflow in a Compact System
An airflow-optimization duct conditions the air before it reaches the outlet, helping the wind tunnel maintain a consistent velocity profile. The 140 mm outlet accommodates a variety of compact probes, sensors, components, and test objects while keeping the overall system small enough for benchtop use.
The tunnel measures approximately 1,370 mm wide by 530 mm deep by 560 mm high and weighs approximately 40 kg. Its sturdy base provides the stability needed for laboratory testing while remaining compact enough to be repositioned when laboratory layouts or testing requirements change.
Flexible Configuration for Different Laboratory Layouts
The wind tunnel can be configured to produce airflow from left to right or from right to left by changing the position of the operating panel. This flexibility helps users integrate the system into existing test benches and arrange probes, instruments, and data-acquisition equipment around the available workspace.
The system operates from single-phase AC power and supports 100–120 V or 200–240 V, 50/60 Hz configurations. A grounded three-meter power cable is included, providing convenient placement within research, educational, and industrial laboratory environments.
