Thermal Analysis of Headlamp
New legislation in the many countries needs to have headlamp switched on during driving irrespective of day or night time travel. A good amount of heat is generated inside the headlamp assembly for long distance traveling because of switching ON the headlamps throughout. Sometimes, the amount of heat is sufficient to soften the plastic parts like lens, deflector plate and might deform the parts creating a risk for safety.
A Multi- physics simulation methodology assists designers to assess such risks.
Can the provision of venting help to dissipate heat out of the system? Yes. Venting can let go some heat out of the headlamp cavity. However, it would be followed by another serious problem for the safety. What can be the problem because of provision of venting?
