// Enclosures + Cooling

Form. Fit.
Function.

The world of power electronics is constantly pushing the limits of physics. ETD specializes in designing thermally optimized enclosures and cooling solutions, that will not only protect your electronics from the elements, but also protect them from overheating.

// Form · Fit · Function

Three disciplines.
One enclosure.

CAP.01
Form
Shield electronics from the elements.

Mechanically sound housings designed to the needs of your electronics — tackling any environment, with an emphasis on structural and thermal feasibility.

DESIGN · STRUCTURE · RUGGEDIZE
CAP.02
Fit
Tailored geometry to your assembly.

We adhere to an iterative process where each iteration builds on the last. Always striving to optimize interconnectivity, ease of assembly, thermal performance. 

CAD-DRIVEN · MODULAR · ASSEMBLIES
CAP.03
Function
Parametric thermal analysis, every step.

Our enclosure and cooling systems design process is guided every step of the way by parametric thermal analysis. This enables us to explore all viable design paths in a quick and efficient manner, assuring the optimal design is found without wasting time or resources.

// Why ETD

Three design stages.
One signed-off unit.

At the conclusion of each stage ETD will host a brief product development meeting with the customer, where we will assess progress and discuss next steps.

ENCL / COOLING — PROCESS▸ Validated

// stages = [proof_of_concept, parametric_refinement, finalization]

  1. S1STAGE.01

    Proof of Concept

    ETD will first generate one or more low resolution, draft housings/layouts. Each draft is run through thermal simulations, configured according to the prerequisite data supplied by the customer — testing the overall viability of the concept.

  2. S2STAGE.02

    Parametric Refinement

    Refining the top one or two performing concept models through parametric iteration. By modeling then simulating an array of heatsinks featuring various fin heights, fin widths, and total number of fins, we can predict which fin profile will be optimal.

  3. S3STAGE.03

    Finalization

    Chamfers, fillets, labels, etchings — and all documentation, including drawing packages and the final thermal report. ETD holds a very thorough design review before close-out and delivery.
