Digital Engineering for thermal, process and energy systems

Have you ever experienced software errors in heat pumps after market launch? Discover how to avoid them!
Testing a product to ensure it functions correctly under all possible conditions is challenging. The resources required to test a heat pump on a test bench with a climatic chamber can be substantial in terms of cost and time.How can we enhance the reliability of heat pumps and other products, even under extreme conditions and unlikely scenarios?

In our upcoming webinar, we will introduce you to MiL (Model-in-the-Loop) and HiL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) for thermal systems and demonstrate the MathWorks and Speedgoat toolchain together with our Modelica TILSuite models for efficient testing.

Curious about how electric vehicle batteries are cooled? 🚗💡
The dominant method currently involves water-glycol mixtures as coolants. The battery is cooled by one or more cooling plates through which the coolant flows. Heat is then transferred to another refrigerant via a heat exchanger for optimal battery operation. Safety, efficiency and longevity are key considerations.

But there is more to it than that...

Our colleague Andreas Varchmin from TLK-Thermo GmbH provides a detailed overview of the basics as well as current and future battery cooling concepts in a blog post called "Battery cooling in electric vehicles".
