A local ham buddy just got back into the hobby after an 8 year hiatus and got a hold of 2 SB220's. He noticed they run hot and he asked the following question...so I figured there are folks out here

I'm using one of the Harbach fans on a SB220 - they move a lot more air than the original Heathkit fans. Higher air-flow = higher noise But I can't say I've noticed that it runs hot. Regards David G

Tests have shown that the turbulance from the high speed Harbach does little for the cooling unless a shroud is added. The one saving grace is a WW resistor can be added to reduce the speed a bit and

Carl, I'm supprised no one has mentioned adding a black aluminum shield between two 3-500s to help prevent the two tubes from radiating heat ( and rf ) into each other. I've done this on my SB220, bu

Does the shield increase overall heat build-up inside the amp because it is absorbing the heat? I had always thought black was a no-no. I see that you have improved air flow. Maybe that carries it al

Bill: I think Don was mostly wondering about heat. I had a Collins 20V2 broadcast rig that had a pair of 4-400s that "talked to each other" in terms of heat. The two tubes weren't all that far apart

Tubes and transistors are like batteries in parallel, sort of. They contain an AC voltage or current generator that multiplies the AC input voltage or current by some number that is a function of the

It's not surprising that the sides facing each other should get hotter than the rest - but a metal screen won't help by shielding heat. If it's shiny it just reflects the heat back and if it's black

Sorry, but I feel we are in for a misunderstanding here. I have seen suggestions to paint inside, existing shielding black, to minimize heat reflection and maximize heat absorbation. Have nothing see

If the equipment has strong forced-air cooling, then heat-sink surface finish isn't very important. If anodized with black oxide coating it will reduce thermal resistance up to 25% if convection cool
