KoolDesigns Predictive Modeling Services

At Cold Chain Technologies (CCT) our objective is to design and test thermally efficient, cost-effective solutions that support your specific cold chain applications. We can help you utilize existing shippers with new product payloads, or design solutions to ship temperature sensitive product under alternative ambient temperatures.

Working on a fast track, our multi-disciplinary design team focuses on understanding and defining your opportunities. We offer flexible turn around on physical testing in our chambers, and rapid design using KoolDesigns, our accurate predictive modeling software. We develop user-driven, well-documented designs that meet your thermal, physical, packout, and cost requirements. At CCT, we recognize that our ongoing value lies in our ability to continually generate new ways to solve your problems.

Experience

For more than ten years, we've created and designed thermal packages tested in our wide temperature range high-performance walk-in environmental chambers. Our engineers are proficient users of KoolDesigns, Siemens NX®, SolidWorks®, TOPS® (Total Optimization Packaging Software), Matlab®, and other proprietary modeling programs. KoolDesigns enables CCT's engineers to increase design speed through an iterative optimized approach, and develop a wider range of options through a matrix of possible design passes.

Expertise

We've built thousands of efficient thermal solutions based on convective and conductive heat transfer as applied to molded and cut sheet expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyurethane (PUR), and other insulative materials. We're proud of our accomplished graduates and their accredited degrees - from baccalaureate to doctorate levels - in chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering, material sciences, packaging and industrial technology, and quality assurance. At CCT we adhere to strict testing certifications, ASTM standards, and ISTA compliance guidelines.

Execution

CCT is proud to support its large-scale thermal lab, which houses leading-edge thermal design and testing equipment.

  • Multiple programmable, wide temperature range walk-in environmental chambers that operate from -30°C to 85°C, and handle small to large packages, pallet-sized and multi pallet-sized loads, and lengthy cycle tests.
  • Programmable reach-in environmental chamber that operates from -80°C to 200°C, and handles lengthy cycle or extreme stability tests.
  • A fleet of top-of-the-line data acquisition units (DAU) GE Kaye Validator 2000s complete with Type T thermocouples, temperature reference bath, and NIST calibrated intelligent RTD probes providing an overall accuracy capability to calibrate to ±0.3°C.
