How to optimize your thermal management strategy for EV cabin comfort
Optimizing the energy management of electric vehicles (EVs) is crucial to achieve maximum driving range and reduce range anxiety. Under extreme temperature conditions, managing thermal comfort in the cabin is one of the biggest energy consumers affecting the operating range of EVs. Engineers must still consider passenger cabin comfort when optimizing powertrain and HVAC thermal management systems. In this webinar, discover the solutions available to engineers that help balance this critical challenge. From early stage up to calibration, you will predict passenger thermal comfort and minimize its impact on an electric vehicle's overall energy flow.
Accelerate thermal system design with a combined CFD and system simulation approach
There are two modeling strategies in predicting thermal system performance. System simulation can perform system architecture sizing and evaluate the design at the integration stage. In contrast, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation offers a very detailed analysis at the component level. In a siloed approach, either simulation allows you to evaluate various levels of fidelity of your system. However, using both simulations in parallel can accelerate and further secure your design process.
To introduce the missing link that combines the best of both worlds, join us in this webinar with Fred Ross, Business Development Manager for Automotive, Fluid & Thermal Domain, and Thomas Desbarats, Head of the Thermal Product Management Team for Siemens System Solution. You will learn how using simulation with a continuous 1D – CFD approach in a structured and intuitive workflow can optimize your electric vehicle cabin thermal management strategy.
