[0002] There are a large number of heat generating devices in large engineering sites, such as heat generating devices such as generator set operation heat dissipation, power disc cabinet, SFC equipment, etc. in the underground powerhouse of a pumped storage power station. One of the functions of the ventilation and air conditioning system is to take away and discharge the heat dissipation of the heat generating devices to the atmosphere. In order to maintain the thermal and humid environment of the underground powerhouse, it is necessary to determine the cooling capacity required by the ventilation and air conditioning system, i.e. the cooling load. An important factor in the calculation of the ventilation and air conditioning cooling load is the heat dissipation performance of the heat generating device. The main performance parameters of the heat dissipation performance of the heat generating device include the heat dissipation of the device and the convective heat transfer coefficient of the device surface under different wind speed environments. In the design of a scale model experiment for a research on the air conditioning ventilation airflow organization effect of a pumped storage power station powerhouse space, how to reasonably and effectively simulate the heat dissipation of the heat generating device is an important means to analyze the influence of the heat dissipation of large equipment on the airflow environment, and the key to the scale model experiment is to perform equivalent simulation of the heat dissipation characteristics of the heat generating device.

Therefore, from the technical and economic points of view, it is necessary to develop a small wind tunnel device for testing the heat dissipation performance of the device in a low-speed airflow environment to meet the measurement requirements of the heat dissipation and convective heat transfer coefficient of the heat generating device.
