Interdisciplinary approach; Seamless integration.

 

We approach digital cooling at the intersection of three distinct disciplines: mechanical, computer, and thermal engineering. Our interdisciplinary approach informs our process each step of the way.

 

Our multi-disciplinary capabilities are not merely convenient but essential. Since our platform is the smallest, safest, and least-intrusive approach available, it calls for seamless integration at the design level. This is only possible because we speak your language. Our principal thermal engineers have hands-on experience with computer and mechanical engineering as well.  

 

“Engineering is done with numbers. Analysis without numbers is only an opinion.” 

 

Inside Our Toolkit

 

• Creo Parametric (Pro/Engineer) is used for CAD modeling to design and integrate our systems.

 

• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using ANSYS IcePack simulates the interaction and behavior of fluids and gases under stress from thermal gradients or specific constraints. 

 

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to test structural integrity, performance, flow, and fatigue of a system.

 

• TF&F Proprietary Thermal Suite simulates and analyzes two-phase heat transfer and flow networks with the degree of precision and accuracy required by our customers. 

 

When necessary we build Proof of Concept Hardware in-house at our lab. We run quantitative tests to verify the amount of heat being removed and demonstrate that performance specifications (size, weight, airflow, and device temperature) are being met.

 

When it’s time for Mass-Production we work with our manufacturing partners at Parker Hannifin, the world’s leading manufacturer of precision-engineered products. Our systems are built at their Precision Cooling Division in New Haven, Indiana.

 

We employ Six Sigma methodology and the TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) to deliver results that exceed expectations.
