With LMS Imagine.Lab Engine Cooling System, engineers can model the complete cooling system of a vehicle, including all the components (pump, thermostat, radiator) with the associated heat exchanges and interactions with other under the hood subsystems. It comes with a set of physics based elements, advanced component libraries and a specific heat exchanger stacking tool (vehicle front end) for thorough system analysis (isothermal or thermal) in steady-state and or transient configuration.
Innovation in the engine cooling system field is clearly influenced by restrictive emissions requirements for reduced fuel consumption.
With LMS Imagine.Lab Engine Cooling System, engineers can calculate the coolant flow rate distribution as well as predict pressure and temperature levels throughout the circuit to study individual component and global system performances and behavior. Moreover, components thermal interactions and system architecture modifications (front end heat exchanger stacks) can be studied to perform drive cycle analysis and test new control strategies (fans, blowers, pumps).
