Simulate instead of trial and error
Constantly growing requirements and increasingly complex applications make well-considered preparation indispensable - especially in terms of optimising performance and costs in an ever more rapidly changing market.
By integrating thermal simulation into system development at an early stage, thermal problems can be identified and solved at an early stage. In addition, it is the most efficient way to visualise temperature developments and flow conditions. Ignoring thermal management may lead to the failure of a project in the worst case.
To help our customers reach their goals faster, we have greatly expanded our development department and further optimised our processes. We work with the simulation software FloEFD™ from the manufacturer Mentor Graphics, which is based on CFD methods. In combination with the latest hardware, we have high computing power to keep simulation times short.

Note: The customer had no cooling solution for his application yet. All models were designed by our engineering team. *Simulation model 1: - Large heat sink with long fins - One fan on the heatsink and an additional fan on the housing - 5 x 6 mm heatpipes (long heatpipes - decrease in performance) *Simulation model 2: - Shorter heat sink (less pressure loss) - The additional fan was now mounted on the heat sink - 5 x 6 mm heatpipes (shorter heatpipes - less decrease in performance) *Simulation model 3: - Shorter heat sink (less pressure loss) - The additional fan was now mounted on the heat sink - 2 x 6 mm heatpipes - 3 x 8 mm heatpipes |
