The manufacturer of the Electric Vehicle needed thermal expert analysis to make a reliable product in a new overall design feature. Focusing on the unit’s radiator and existing Folded Fin structure, Boyd was tasked to simulate a baseline design and optimize fin spacing and thickness to meet the requirements of the customer. This included:
- Fin louver structure study
- Fin spacing and thickness optimization
- 5 mm taller fin optimization
- Base plate thickness study
- Aluminum vs. Copper fin and baseplate investigations
