Optimising prototype vehicle performance through advanced thermal management

Successes and benefits

Key benefits:

• Cost savings and accuracy improvements over traditional full-vehicle testing methods

• Efficient validation of design modifications across multiple prototype stages

• Provided advanced solutions that align with long-term technology roadmaps, enhancing client confidence in our systems and establishing long-term partnerships

• Ensured thermal management solutions were effective and seamlessly integrated with the client’s overall vehicle validation and calibration processes

The system bench testing of the fully instrumented refrigerant and integrated cooling systems has enabled the customer to fully validate a host of performance criteria under carefully controlled and often worst-case boundary conditions giving

them increased confidence in the production solution.
