Define the operating case.
Vehicle, environment, duty cycle, thermal load, air or coolant flow, target temperatures and operating power. Document the conditions behind each target.

Vehicle HVAC expertise.
From brief to design.
Engineering conversations for cabin comfort, vehicle integration and complete parking air-conditioning systems.
Make the requirement
visible before the design.
VETHY’s development materials show digital product modeling and team design discussions. For a vehicle HVAC project, we start by defining the operating conditions, package space and system interfaces, then agree which design and validation work the project requires.

Thermal. Mechanical.
Electrical. Connected.
A good review joins the cooling requirement to the physical layout and the control interface. The system must work in the vehicle, be accessible for service and have a clear basis for evaluation.
Resolve the interfaces.
Review the CAD envelope, mounting, hose connections, airflow path, condensate drainage, electrical connections and service access.
Agree the next evidence.
Define the drawing revisions, sample or prototype requirements, test conditions, acceptance criteria and responsibilities before moving to the next stage.
| Workstream | Information to bring | What to agree |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal & airflow | Duty, inlet temperatures, ambient conditions, air / coolant flow and static pressure | Performance targets and the conditions under which they apply |
| Mechanical | Envelope, mounting, connection locations, weight limits and access needs | Layout, interface dimensions and drawing revision |
| Electrical & control | Supply range, current budget, control signals and protection requirements | Supply responsibilities and functional interface definition |
| Validation | Required performance, leak, vibration, corrosion, noise or compliance evaluations | Applicable methods, sample plan, test provider and acceptance criteria |
| Industrialization | Forecast volumes, timing, labeling, packaging and service needs | Tooling, approved configuration and commercial supply scope |
The project brief defines the design work, evaluation methods, test provider and required documents. Confirm sample timing, acceptance criteria and production arrangements at the corresponding development stage.
