MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN
Here at Pro Alloy we are very much aligned with the requirements for low volume production, which serves very well for R & D projects. As engineered components nowadays generally require a large amount of input via 3D modelling and CNC machining, there are often high production costs for small or single quantities.
During the early stages of development, fabricated components make a lot more sense for data collection purposes. Cooling systems in particular are challenging because their environments and running conditions often fluctuate, so we take a broader approach to the fundamentals of their design. The R & D process should be able to evolve and reach conclusive points without large investments in specific tooling, therefore fabricated assemblies are far more practical.
In partnership with London Southbank University, we have developed some complex heat rejection software, which we can use to generate theoretical templates of cooling system performance under varying conditions. This tool also provides the opportunity to examine the effects of modifying core fin density and cooling tube configurations, along with changes in ambient temperature and air velocity.
