Hi everyone, we have a major update for the coolers in ITA CFD.
Users can now specify a limited cooling capacity for each cooler.
The capacity can now be set as ‘infinite’ (the default – and equivalent to the previous modeling approach) or ‘specified’.
In the ‘specified’ model, the cooler’s actual supply temperature may not be equal the specified ‘setpoint’ temperature. If the load exceeds the cooler capacity under the current operating conditions, the supply temperature will also exceed the setpoint temperature.
The ‘specified’ capacity model takes two data points as input and assumes a linear relationship between return temperature and capacity. This data is entered for a known reference airflow rate which usually corresponds to the cooler’s maximum airflow as this is the data most often published by cooler manufacturers.
After simulation is complete, you can hover the mouse over the cooler to see the supply temperature, average return temperature, load, and capacity.
