A&D Technology’s Thermal Emulator helps engineers simulate real-world heat loads across a wide range of vehicle systems, well before actual components are available. From radiators and inverters to batteries and e-axles, the emulator enables early validation of thermal control strategies, reducing development time and risk. By emulating thermal behavior in a safe, controlled environment, teams can test and tune systems for electric, hybrid and internal combustion vehicles alike. Paired with iTest automation software and LabWorX lab integration tools, the emulator supports rapid development of thermal systems across the entire vehicle platform, including those involving battery thermal management.

• How to simulate heat loads for components like radiators, batteries, inverters and e-axles
• The benefits of testing thermal strategies before physical hardware is available
• How early emulation shortens development cycles and uncovers issues sooner
• Integration with iTest for automation and LabWorX for lab-wide system coordination
• Applications across EV, hybrid and ICE platforms in R&D and validation labs
