lewisss Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hi, just made my first ever mod! I have just ran the case analyzer and the results are a lot different to the standard set. The question is, Should I be worried? Case cooling time constant 337.93s Case heating constant. 316.03 Case USB charge temp rise. 7.95 F 18.59 F/A Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lipoid Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 No idea but your results are comparable to mine.Case cooling time constant 242,16s Case heating constant. 340.81 Case USB charge temp rise. 9.97 F 12.31 F/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 What does the board do with the settings of case analyzer, is it for TC accuracy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepetro Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yes, I am really curious about this too. Does the board do anything at all with these numbers?What are guidelines as to what good or bad number might be, and what are the consequences?My numbers are bit different than the first post, but then I am using a big hunk of aluminum.

VapingBad Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I think the main purpose is so the heat from charging can be taken into account in temp limiting and refinement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomr1088 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yes all of this is mostly used I believe so that the baseline resistance for temp control stays accurate despite the case getting warm or while charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retird Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Case Analyzer:Thermal The Case Analyzer and/or Device Manufacture specific settings should be used to populate the data in the fields. Manual field entries are discouraged. Case Analyzer: EScribe can be used to analyze your caseâs thermal properties. This should already be populated with the manufacturerâs settings and will not need to be changed. Case Cooling Time Constant: The time for the case to cool 63.2% of the way to a steady temperature. Case Heating Time Constant: The time for the case to heat up 63.2% of the way to a steady temperature. Case USB Charge ?T: The amount of heating caused by USB battery charging. Minimum Ambient Temperature: The minimum ambient temperature this device will ever be used in. Typically this will not need adjustment. Maximum Ambient Temperature: The maximum ambient temperature this device will ever be used in. Typically this will not need adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepetro Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yes, read that before, but what, if anything, does the "board" do with this information?This blurb from the docs merely states the intent of each field, I am wondering if the board actually uses it, or is it just a design aide.I just brought an enclosure to market, and my values are dramatically different than most I have seen. Just trying understand the implications of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just guessing but it seems that person wants to estimate the temp of the board from the results, which isn't what it's for. It's not thermal management so the parts don't fry -- it's so the board can reasonably accurately estimate room temp from the inside the device temp. The board knows how much heat it has generated and needs to know how much of that heat is dissipated in a unit of time out of the device as a whole. Each device design will be different so evolv has a clever way to accurately estimate room temp from temp inside the device once the DNA 200 has the numbers as you posted.

crshsnwmn Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Another hotcig - first run was on my desk - below, but still in front of 3 23" monitors - thought the heat coming off the monitors may have skewed the results.Ran it again away from the pc - no surprise, longer to heat & faster to cool - but still nowhere near the numbers dwcraig1 got from his.Both times measured 70 degree room temp in the area it was sitting during the test.

dwcraig1 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 So now what I wonder. I thought maybe mine was skewed due to heavy use running the battery down to low enough to do the test. It sat there for an hour waiting for temp to steady. Mine was done with room temp at 75 F but I'm not sure if it matters as long as you enter the correct room temp. It would be great if John would comment on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Scientist Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I'm starting to wonder how much it really matters to the performance of the device as well as how holding the mod in my body temp hand while using it might skew the results. The results are interesting but I wouldn't try to get too exact about it all lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
