Cryopak Announces New Thermal Modeling Services

Thermal Simulation allows Cryopak to accelerate the design process by reducing inventory and chamber time requirements. Multiple variations on a common development idea can be tested to determine the optimal design.

Dec 20 2011 --- Cryopak announces the addition of thermal modeling and simulation services. Cryopak has developed a standard set of processes, options and parameters leading to valid thermal simulation results for existing and new thermal packaging designs.

"The determination of correct simulation parameters and the assessment of appropriate geometric approximations present the biggest challenges in obtaining simulation results that accurately replicate test results," Landon Halloran, Finite Element Thermal Analyst at Cryopak, said.

Thermal Simulation allows Cryopak to accelerate the design process by reducing inventory and chamber time requirements. Multiple variations on a common development idea can be tested to determine the optimal design. The temperature response at any point in the pack-out can be investigated and a wide variety of graphic rendering can be provided to customers.

Cryopak’s cold chain packaging group offers the following thermal modeling and simulation services;

• Creation of Thermal Packaging System CAD Model
• Thermal Simulation of Modeled Temperature-Controlled Packaging System
• Thermal Simulation with Custom Profile.
• Modification of Payload.
"Thermal Simulation is also offered as an integrated part of the full design, qualification and production service from Cryopak," Halloran said.

"We saw that there was a need in the industry for these services," Bill Hingle, Marketing Director at TCP Reliable said. "Others in our industry were starting to use the software on a more regular basis and we wanted to keep Cryopak ahead of the curve."
