Abstract: A heat transfer system and method for maintaining or controlling a temperature of a device under test (DUT) with heat generating capability. The heat transfer system comprises a temperature control unit (TCU) for thermal coupling to the DUT, the TCU arranged for flow of a heat transfer medium therethrough; an automatic expansion valve disposed upstream of the TCU; a flow-regulating valve disposed downstream of the TCU; and a controller coupled to the TCU for receiving an input signal representative of a temperature of the DUT; wherein the controller is further coupled to the flow-regulating valve to change a flow area of the flow-regulating valve based on the signal representative of the temperature of the DUT.

Abstract: A heat transfer device for maintaining a temperature of a device under test with heat generating capability at a prescribed temperature, the heat transfer device comprising an inlet flow-duct; an outlet flow-duct; a conductor block comprising a plurality of through-holes, the through-holes receiving a fluid from the inlet flow-duct and delivering the fluid to the outlet flow-duct; and inserts disposed in the respective through-holes for reducing a cross-sectional area of the respective through-holes to improve heat transfer efficiency.
