Thermal Validation by HBM: The Complete and Safe Measurement Chain
Thermal analysis and thermal durability testing are crucial validation steps in the development process, prior to releasing a component, an overall powertrain, or a vehicle to the market. Thermal validation impacts not only the packaging, cooling and heating systems but also the overall life-time, reliability, and environmentally safe operation.
A safe measurement chain and operation is crucial for analyzing thermal properties. The critical parts are energy storage/BEV battery, fuel cell, electronics, electric drive, auxiliary components, and all connecting cables. Thermal analysis is mostly based on Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation models. Thermal validation and testing are mostly done in climate chambers for thermal extremes and in performance test stands.
HBM can combine thermal validation with electrical and mechanical testing, environmental simulation, data analytics, and more, providing comprehensive overall results that you can trust. As a one-stop shop provider for the complete measurement chain and data analytics software, we understand the need for accurate and reliable thermal data and offer all aspects involved in determining phase transitions, heating or cooling and dimensional changes of parts under test along with all necessary sensor types (optical or electrical) for differential thermal analysis, thermo-mechanical analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis, and thermal flow.
