Audi: Solar Simulation for Vehicle Development
Realistic solar simulation for climate chambers in automotive development
With the development of this solar simulation system, BF Engineering, together with Audi, has set a new benchmark for realistic environmental simulation in vehicle development. The system was designed in close collaboration with Audi’s development departments, continuously optimized, and precisely adapted to the requirements of modern climate chambers.
The system simulates the natural path of the sun with high precision and enables reproducible test conditions for development, validation, and endurance testing. By realistically reproducing solar radiation, thermal loads and climate conditions can be reliably investigated under controlled laboratory conditions.
A particularly remarkable aspect of this project is its longevity: The system, commissioned in 2010, is still successfully in operation today and continues to reliably support the development process. This demonstrates not only the high quality of the technical implementation but also the sustainable and future-oriented design of the system.
From joint development and commissioning to long-term operation, the project has been highly successful and represents an excellent example of the close partnership between BF Engineering and Audi, as well as the development of innovative, customized testing technology.
