Frank, I'm sorry, in my first post on this forum, to be contradictory.

Equipment does feel wind chill. What is wind chill? If the outside temperature is 25deg, and the 'wind chill' is -12deg, then the object (human or not) 'feels' a cooling rate equivalent to -12deg ambient temperature with no wind. The final temp of the object will be the ambient temp, in this case 25deg.

Although the equipment has no senses, a thermocouple attached to the object would show a temp curve matching -12deg; thus, the object 'feels' -12 wind chill.
