Thermal solutions are necessary in any application with a heat source in
the vicinity of heat-sensitive components, or where excess heat poses
health and safety risks. In this guide, we consider a subset of these
applications, focusing primarily on vehicular and heavy equipment
applications.
Industrial engines generate a great deal of thermal energy creating challenges for operators of vehicular and heavy equipment. Excess heat makes a work environment dangerous, putting workers at risk of burns or heat exhaustion.
Heat loss may also damage any nearby sensitive equipment. To avoid these outcomes, equipment manufacturers should consider installing thermal solutions to insulate and protect against the harmful effects of heat exposure.
In this guide, we consider some of the most common applications that require thermal solutions, such as:
- Vehicle exhausts
- Fuel tank shielding
- Engine compartments, firewalls, and underbodies
As well as the options available to mitigate risk around combustion engines.
