Performance & Efficiency

Performance & Efficiency

Efficiency, flow rate, heat exchange, and controls are all critical performance criteria of HVAC systems like heat pumps, air conditioners and furnaces.  Our software simulation and testing solutions give you the tools you need to determine if your HVAC system meets requirements for these criteria and more before you ever need to build a prototype. Simulation lets you virtually test out new design ideas so you can rapidly find the best solution for the application.

Rising greenhouse gases and the need for greater efficiency has led to governments around the world to draft regulations governing emissions. Each country and even localities within a country can have different regulations.  This creates additional complexity that you must manage and engineer into your HVAC systems.

How do you know your heat pumps, air conditioners, and furnaces are meeting performance requirements? If you rely primarily on physical tests of prototypes to determine the efficiency of your designs, then your competition is already winning. Physical testing is too costly and time consuming for today’s fast-paced market.

Instead, you need to know that your products are meeting performance requirements at each step of the development cycle before you ever build a single prototype.  This can be achieved through simulation of the digital twin of your product.

We can help you engineer innovations faster and with greater confidence by accurately predicting the performance of HVAC products during design.  Siemens’ simulation and test solutions can help you evaluate the fluid flow through ductwork and internal systems, determine appropriate fan sizing and measure the efficiency of heat exchangers and the overall HVAC system, and more.

Acoustic Testing

Covering the broadest range of industry applications and engineering tasks while conforming to the latest international standards, our acoustic testing solutions adjust to your project’s requirements. Design innovative products with a compelling acoustic signature, relying on the expertise nested in our intuitive solutions.

Acoustics Simulation

Siemens simulation solutions offer interior and exterior acoustic analysis within an integrated solution that helps you make informed decisions during the early design stages so you can optimize your product’s acoustic performance. A unified and scalable modeling environment combined with efficient solvers and easy-to-interpret visualization capabilities enable you to quickly gain insight into the acoustic performance of your product.

Design Exploration

Design exploration software takes simulation to the next level by allowing users to determine appropriate values of variables that yield product designs that result in exceptional performance

Durability Testing

Rely on our end-to-end durability testing solution to streamline your entire testing process. Siemens uniquely integrates rugged and reliable data acquisition hardware with comprehensive processing and analysis software features. Our solution covers every step of a typical test campaign, from channel setup and measurements, to validation, consolidation, analysis, and reporting.

Electrics

Benefit from off-the-shelves models for batteries, fuel cells, power converters, linear actuators and electric motors to build any kind of electrical device architecture. Our multi-physics, multi-level, scalable and flexible approach, you can address many engineering issues like the design of the thermal management system, the assessment of the system performance or efficiency with realistic mechanical or hydraulic loads, as well as the design and validation of your control.

Engineering & Consulting

Accelerate product development and solve the toughest problems with scalable help from engineering and consulting services.

Fluid Dynamics Simulation

Siemens provides industry leading computational fluid dynamics software allows you to simulate almost any engineering problem that involves the flow of liquids, gases (or a combination of both), together with all of the associated physics.

Fluid System Simulation

Reduce physical prototyping by assessing and improving fluid systems’ performance from the beginning of the design cycle. System simulation helps you study energy consumption of pneumatic and hydraulic systems when they interact with their environment, and integrate increasingly complex controls from the early development phases.

Mechanics

Accurately model the kinematic and dynamic behavior of multi-body systems (from 1D to 3D). Ready-to-use rigid or flexible bodies connected by functional junctions allow you to rapidly analyze a large number of effects, such as elastic collision, dry and viscous friction, worm gear, screw/nut, rack and pinion mechanisms, ropes and sheaves. Validated models of cams and followers help you seamlessly compare the performance of different hydromechanical valvetrain architectures.
