KoolDesignsTMAnalytical Thermal Modeling
Quickly Bring Your Optimized Solution to Market
Color Changes Represent Simulated Shipper Temperatures at One Hour Increments
Quickly develop temperature controlled packaging solutions that will maintain your product's integrity throughout the cold chain - with KoolDesigns analytical thermal modeling.
The industry's most robust predictive service, KoolDesigns provides fast, accurate modeling, taking into account all critical thermal transfer elements, including conduction, convection, phase change and radiation. We apply our proprietary database of material and system characteristics to expertly construct models that optimize your solution before moving it efficiently through the qualification process in our state-of-the-art thermal testing lab.
What's more, each model we develop becomes part of the KoolDesigns database, continually making the system smarter. As a result, our advanced analytical techniques are ideal for complex challenges like convection and phase change modeling.
THE SMARTER WAY TO DESIGN
- Fast, accurate evaluation of design concepts prior to physical (chamber) testing
- Optimized solutions, not just passing solutions
- Decreased need for physical chamber tests and/or re-test cycles
- Reduced development costs and timeframes
A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
New Product Development - KoolDesigns facilitates the optimization of new designs by quickly and accurately evaluating multiple design concepts and potential revisions. The need for iterative physical testing decreases; speed to market increases.
Through a combination of computational thermal fluid dynamics and finite element analysis, we can accurately predict the thermal performance of virtually any shipping system.
Evaluation of Alternate Ambient Temperature Profiles for Existing Designs - We can accurately evaluate the performance of an existing package design against new temperature profiles, including profiles representing new shipping lanes and those generated by updated ambient mapping studies.
Evaluation of New Payload Families for Existing Designs - KoolDesigns can be used to define the limits for a variety of payload configurations within a single shipper. By bracketing payload product attributes, the system readily establishes acceptable payload ranges.
Evaluation of Unanticipated Exposure During Transits - Find out whether your product's stability has been compromised if it unexpectedly encounters extreme temperatures or extended exposure while in transit. KoolDesigns advanced modeling tools analyze the situation and assess the integrity of your temperature-sensitive payload.
The Industry's Most Advanced Thermal Modeling
Whether your packacing challenge is extreme or conventional, KoolDesigns can reduce testing time and development costs. That's why we use KoolDesigns to develop our clients' solutions and our own.
