Working With Conflux
Partner with Conflux for a streamlined approach to advanced heat exchange solutions. Our process is designed to guide you from concept to optimised, high-performance outcomes.
Feasibility
We begin by evaluating whether an additive manufacturing heat exchanger (AM HX) will meet your thermal performance needs. Through a rough design and preliminary simulation, we provide insights into the potential success of integrating the heat exchanger into your platform, helping you make an informed decision before committing to full-scale development.
2.Proof of Concepts
We create a working design backed by detailed simulations and deliver a physical part. We also offer recommendations for testing the prototype to ensure it meets your operational needs. If required, we adjust the quantity of parts to suit the needs of your project.
3.Optimisation & Verification
We work closely with you to refine the heat exchanger design, focusing on how it will seamlessly integrate with your platform. This iterative process includes performance optimisation and operational testing to ensure the part functions as intended in real-world conditions. The goal is to achieve final design approval through collaborative, hands-on development.
4.Qualification
We ensure your heat exchanger meets industry qualification standards, including those related to our additive manufacturing processes. This phase focuses on producing a functional part and verifying the manufacturing process, with all requirements typically driven by your specific industry standards, ensuring readiness for production.
