Application engineer
07-2017 - OraEnergia / Materiali / Meccanica Working as a consultant for FCA (Sep 2017 - Dec 2017), in the HVAC and thermal optimization unit, for projects with the use of Amesim software.
Main activities:
- HVAC, refrigerant loop components optimization, based on experimental tests
- Car cabin simulation in warm-up and cool down tests
- Development of 1D/0D predictive vehicle thermal models
- Batteries cooling system implementation on electric vehicles
Turnkey project with Amesim, for Ferrari Powertrain unit (Jan 2018-April 2018):
- Simulation of a hybrid car driveline, including engine and transmission control maps (imported from Simulink)
- Electrical system modeling for hybrid car and drivetrain vibrational analysis
- Performances assessment of electric powertrain design on driving cycles
- Model coupling with MSC Adams software and validation
Turnkey project with Amesim, for ASTAUTO UK unit (April 2018-today):
- Truck fuel consumption study on driving cycles adopting two different configurations: conventional powertrain and braking, and with a hybrid hydraulic regenerative system that recovers energy from brakings and reuses it for accelerations
- Hydraulic oil thermal analysis during lamination on pressure relief valves
