This paper describes the results of modeling thermal processes and air flows occurring in a universal power source (UPS) with a digital control system for output parameters under given operating conditions. The UIP is intended for scientific research in the field of electrochemical copper deposition in order to form through and via holes in printed circuit boards, three-dimensional microassemblies, metallization of epoxy resins, and organic materials. The article discusses the features of the development of a universal power source, presents the key results of the design and study of the thermodynamic characteristics of a prototype sample.
