Conference to address vehicle thermal management

A modern vehicle thermal management system must co-ordinate the thermal environments of the under-bonnet powertrain cooling system and the passenger compartment.

In the last decade vehicle cooling systems have evolved into complex networks designed to efficiently balanced heat transfer between the powertrain and the vehicle.

Today, a modern vehicle thermal management system (VTMS) must co-ordinate the thermal environments of the under-bonnet powertrain cooling system and the passenger compartment, with the goal of optimising performance and customer comfort.

As emissions standards become more stringent worldwide and pressure grows to increase vehicle fuel economy, breakthroughs in vehicle thermal management are becoming even more critical.

AVL offers an advanced analysis toolchain for VTMS from 1D to high-end 3D CFD solutions - AVL Fire and AVL Swift.

The company's 2003 Virtual Vehicle Thermal Management Conference on 30th July in Plymouth, Michigan will address: complete integrated VTMS toolchains; engine performance and heat rejection; exhaust gas after-treatment; passenger comfort, de-icing and de-fogging; and optimisation techniques.

Anyone interested can register online at the AVL website.

Spaces are limited.
