Tóm tắt

The importance of thermal management has increased with the advent of electrification and fuel cell. The dynamic response required from the thermal circuit has also increased and cannot be reproduced by today’s conditioning systems. This contribution describes a novel, considerably more powerful conditioning concept with three main characteristics: The new conditioning concept is validated via simulation as well as by an application on a powertrain test bed. The system proved to be extremely robust in its function due to the consideration of all influencing parameters and, in addition, it is easy to use: no time-consuming configuration work is required prior to installation, nor when changing the test bed or the unit under test. The foundation for this is the model-based control that is based on a direct relationship between the temperature of the medium and the setpoint value. For the first time, temperature traces previously measured under real operation conditions can be reproduced and even temperature gradients of up to 60 K/s can be followed. The dynamic conditioning unit described here will be extended by a transient, real-time capable simulation model to a thermal emulator. This will enable future thermal management functions to be developed and optimized in ThermoLabs.
