dynamics)

Background
Delphi is a leading global supplier of mobile electronics and transportation systems,
including automotive radiators and heating/cooling systems. Delphi sought ways to
optimize its heat exchanger designs by measuring thermal strain under a variety of
loading conditions. To enhance its product testing and evaluation capabilities Delphi
sought a partner with extensive strain gage measurement experience, and found
SimuTech Group.
Challenge
Traditional pass/fail product testing does not provide the detailed information
required to determine design margins and efficiently optimize radiator designs.The
critical strain locations on these heat exchangers require very small gages and can be
difficult to access.
Solution
SimuTech Group developed specialized strain gage mounting techniques for precisely
locating very small gages.
As we strive for lighter weight, optimized heat exchanger designs, it becomes more
and more important to know the products ultimate design limitations. Product
validation is usually completed using traditional testing techniques such as pressure
cycle, thermal cycle and vibration testing.
SimuTech Group Rochester has provided us with strain instrumentation expertise
that coupled with our traditional testing procedures has allowed us to better
understand our poduct design limitations.
