Background: In Icepak there is only a 2D heat exchanger object available. On the other hand the thermal specification for the 3D Resistance object is limited to constant or spatial distributed (predefined) power. Solution: A combination of 3D Resitance and 2D Heat Exchanger objects is possible. The 3D Resistance (no thermal specification) gives maximum control of the pressure losses in different directions. A number of Heat Exchanger objects (no pressure loss specification), placed in the 3D Resistance zone, allows heat exchange controlled by the temperature difference between local Fluid and external (cooling\/heating) Fluid. Obviously, the number of Heat Exchanger objects in the Resistance zone will define the temperature and heat exchange resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-164292","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-16-1","topic-tag-basic-object-types","topic-tag-electromagnetics-electronics","topic-tag-heat-exchanger","topic-tag-heat-transfer","topic-tag-icepak","topic-tag-other","topic-tag-thermal"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
