Protect your heavy equipment from overheating under harsh operating conditions
Seasonal high temperatures, repetitive tasks, and long working days are multiple root causes that can lead a heavy machine powertrain to overheat. OEM and suppliers need to ensure thermal safety, both at component and machine levels. Further, they need to ensure powertrain efficiency, power availability, and operator’s comfort. Integrated simulations provide a solution to assess the best cooling package design efficiently.
During this webinar, Romain Nicolas – system simulation expert – and Fred Ross - CFD simulation expert, will give you an overview of what could be an ideal cooling package workflow. The use cases will cover the cooling package architecture definition using system simulation. They will extend to the detailed design of a heat exchanger using CFD simulation going through a mixed 1D-3D approach for capturing under-hood air re-circulation.
As an example, we will compare fan push or pull configurations for improving cooling performances while reducing fan usage.
