Fan

CFM stands for cubic feet per minute. CFM is a volumetric unit of flow. CFM represents the maximum amount of air that a fan can move at maximum speed and without any restrictions. CFM is related to the fan’s motor (rotational speed), blade length, blade pitch and shape.

Managing the heat generated by the components is very important in the design of electronic systems. High-power components generate more heat and can cause the system to malfunction. Two different techniques, active cooling and passive cooling, are applied to protect heat generating systems.
