Software spots enclosure problems early
Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions' thermal analysis service allow users to test how a chassis or card will operate in high-performance, high-power applications before it is deployed.
Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions has released its thermal analysis service offerings for electronic enclosures and cards in the military, industrial and oil and gas markets Thermal analysis, conducted during both the design and production phases, provides a comprehensive overview of a chassis' or card's thermal management operation and challenges, diagnosing them before they limit the performance of the system and minimising post-production changes to the system

The Apollo and Saturn multiports are part of a full line of RoHS-compliant cards engineered for high-speed high-throughput applications in industrial and military industries.
In the design phase, Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions uses CFdesign software from Blue Ridge Numerics to provide detailed analysis of the complete thermal management picture, specifically how the cards, boards and chassis interact with regards to cooling.
Simulation thermal analysis allows engineers to examine a range of card and fan configurations to determine the best possible cooling solutions, ensuring the system performs optimally in its operating environment.
This thermal simulation in the prototype stage can reduce the total project cost by an average of 65%.
During the production phase, Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions performs verification on the chassis or card in thermal chambers by analysing airflow and temperature using Cambridge Accusense sensors from DegreeC.
The sensors allow users to test how the chassis or card will operate in high-performance, high-power applications before it is deployed.
