Application example: Flow and thermal calculation of an ICE control cabinet
Task
The temperature and velocity distribution of the cooling air must be calculated for an ICE control cabinet. The calculation serves as the basis for designing the cooling of the enclosure and the enclosure door.
Reference
- Siemens AG / Automation technology
- Temperature distribution (inside back)Leistungsumfang
Scope of services
Creation of a 3D calculation model taking into account the boundary conditions.
Determination of
- Temperature distribution in the enclosure
- Required air volume flow
- Air cooling capacity
- Switching time of a signaling device in the event of a temperature jump
Consideration of the power loss of the modules, heat dissipation to the environment and heat absorption by dimensions or air in the enclosure. Evaluation of the results and creation of documentation.
