How Heat Load Calculation Works

Heat load calculation refers to the process of determining heat load for a certain space or quantity of matter. Heat load is the amount of heat energy that needs to be added to maintain a desired temperature setpoint. It may also be referred to as heating load or thermal load. The amount of heat energy […]

What is Thermal Design and How is it Used?

Thermal design refers to a division of engineering that leverages thermodynamics to design technologies and products. Thermodynamics is a physical science that studies the relationships caused by heat energy and transfer (also called thermal energy). Thermal design (also called thermodynamic design) is tasked with developing real-world applications for the science of thermodynamics. Example Applications of […]
