Client

US based leading
RV OEM

Industry

Automobile

Challenge

As part of an effort to enhance user comfort, the OEM aimed to improve the efficiency of RV air conditioning and heating under different weather conditions.

 

For the analysis, Timetooth was engaged with expertise in simulation.

Service Area

Advance Simulation Engineering

Timeline

September 2022 to January 2023

Simulations were used to predict the thermal insulation of the RV superstructure in different weather conditions.

Key Engineering Solutions

1. Operational thermal conditions were mapped.

2. Specific design directions were shared.

Solutions

Timetooth initiated the project with the study of the design model shared by the client and meshing of the vehicle as per the standards. Operational thermal conditions were defined jointly by the Timetooth team with the RV OEM team for analysis. Necessary boundary conditions were mapped for thermal analysis. Simulations were used to predict the thermal insulation of the RV superstructure in different weather conditions. Further simulation results were interpreted and specific design directions were shared with the client.

Key Highlights

ROI for the client

The client got new insights into the performance of the vehicle in different weather conditions.

The OEM is also able to efficiently improvise on the design of HVAC systems for user comfort.
