Box Phone Farm Cooling: Planning Active Airflow
Phones mounted close together generate heat. Without proper cooling, you get performance throttling, unexpected shutdowns, and shortened device lifespan.
**Why box phone farm cooling matters:**
- Dense chassis layouts need matched intake/exhaust paths — layout confirmed at quote
- Thermal throttling reduces app performance and automation speed
- Active fan kits (count and CFM) depend on node load, ambient room temperature, and chassis generation
- Metal chassis with heat dissipation channels improves efficiency when fan direction is correct
**What to look for:**
- Fan kit spec on written quote — not fixed across all chassis variants
- Rear or top exhaust airflow design documented on wiring/packing sheet
- Cleanable fan filters for long-term maintenance
- Factory burn-in testing under load when ordered
Every Phones Farm Box unit can include burn-in testing at our Guangzhou workshop before shipment — scope stated on proforma.
