- Thermal Evaluation: Thermal performance evaluation and/or optimization of new ideas or technologies
can be performed with hand calculations to quickly assess expected performance.
- Thermal Design Review: Have another pair of experienced eyes look at your thermal
management design. You'll receive feedback on: fan selection and
RPM setpoints, enclosure and vent design, placement of critical components, high altitude and unusual
operating conditions, heat sink/spreader designs, water-cooled systems, conduction and radiation heat dissipation
systems, ramifications for future products, and more...
- Numerical Temperature Models: A finite-difference temperature solver
can model everything from FR4 to human tissue, reducing the need for costly experiments.
|
- Enclosure design: Thermal management design rules are applied to determine
enclosure requirements such as: type and number of fans, vents, and heat sinks; optimum
locations for the power supply, ASIC, and processor; and more...
- CFD Calculations: Air flow fields and convective coefficients can be
calculated with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
- Thermal Deflection and Warp: Thermally induced deflections and warp can be
estimated with thermal strain analysis and/or Finite Element Analysis (FEM).
- Flow Impedance Measurement: The CFM and pressure drop characteristics of
your fan-cooled products can be accurately measured with a 800 CFM windtunnel and pressure
gauges.
- Thermal Qualification: Temperature and air velocity measurements in your
thermally sensitive products can give you valuable performance and reliability data and predictions
for your least-optimal operating conditions.
