Case Study: Kanto Seiki achieves higher thermal efficiency and faster product design with Hexagon's scSTREAM

MSC Cradle helps engineers of Kanto Seiki to improve performance of high precision thermal regulators

Kanto Seiki Co., a manufacturer of high-precision liquid temperature regulators, sought to improve the performance and thermal efficiency of its products, including its flagship OILMATIC chillers. A key challenge was gaining deeper insight into heat generation and fluid flow within complex components like heat exchangers and mixers to provide superior, customized solutions for its clients. To move beyond the limitations of manual calculations and costly physical prototyping, the company turned to its simulation software, scSTREAM from Hexagon.

Using Hexagon's scSTREAM software, Kanto Seiki's engineers performed detailed thermo-fluid analyses to optimize designs. This allowed them to identify and resolve inefficient flow patterns in client molds, design more effective and compact heat exchangers, and develop intricate mixer components for ultraprecise temperature control. The solution from Hexagon enabled faster, more cost-effective development, reduced the need for physical prototypes, and empowered Kanto Seiki to provide more in-depth, data-driven advice to its customers, strengthening its competitive advantage.
