Simulation Type: Thermodynamics

  • SYSTAG – Cutting Lab Reactor Heat Flux Variation 60%

    The Challenge SYSTAG’s engineers were faced with a challenge to optimize one of their flagship products—the FlexyCUBE lab reactor system. The FlexyCUBE is a controlled laboratory reactor that helps process engineers to perform quality risk analysis, parallel process optimisation, and design experiments. The company’s goal was to enhance the device to achieve uniform internal temperature…

  • Furnace Fixers – 40% Better Performance with CFD

    The Challenge The construction of industrial ovens is an extremely complex task that requires innovative and dedicated solutions for end-customer applications. Furnace Fixers’ products allow meeting quality specifications for heat treatment such as AMS-2750E or CQI-9 . Specifically, the ovens used to make parts need to provide a uniform temperature within a plus or minus…

  • CRYO Science – Improving Chamber Thermal Efficiency

    The Challenge The project which required simulations was a whole-body, single-person cryo chamber. The individual stays inside the cryo chamber for 1 – 3 minutes and during this time is exposed to cold dry air at the temperature of -140°C (varying based on the treatment type). The subzero temperature is achieved through the use of…

  • QRC Technologies – Preventing Thermal Damage in Electronics

    The Challenge An engineering project directed by David McCall, Senior Mechanical Engineer at QRC Technologies, was to design enclosures for RF testing equipment that measure cellular band signals and optimize heat dissipation. RF testing tools can get hot—up to 50 °C (122 °F)—when relying on passive cooling alone. This became a big problem for QRC’s…

  • Thermo-Consult – Optimizing a Cleanroom for Electron Microscopy

    The Challenge The main challenges of this HVACR project were the following Extreme strict air state stability criteria (0,25°C/20min and 1°C/24h) ISO 8 cleanroom classification Strict air flow pattern criteria to the cleanroom requirements: only upwards air stream is allowed Strict air velocity criteria: maximum air velocity at the lab equipment is 0,08 m/s The…
