Description

Utilize analytical techniques to develop and validate cooling system designs considering performance and underhood temperatures.
  • Develop cooling system specifications.
  • Generate multiple cooling system concepts and maintain analytical master models with accountability to make sure cooling systems meet performance specifications.
  • Size and select heat exchangers and fans via 1D analysis program similar to KULI.
  • Determine water circuit configuration including pump sizing, flow split balancing, and pressure drop assessment using 1D analysis programs.
  • Collaborate with design partners to meet ambient temperature capability, fan power and noise requirements.
  • Develop CFD models to understand air flow through cooling packages.
  • Develop underhood thermal CFD models to predict component temperatures and effects on cooling package air flow.
  • Participate in cooling/airflow tests and correlate analysis models.
  • Perform analysis to assist in resolving cooling related field problems.
  • Work to continuously improve the accuracy and efficiency of cooling analysis processes and tools.
