Summary

Thermal management, i.e., controlling the temperature, intensity, and direction of heat flow between components in a system, is critical for high energy efficiency, optimized performance, high reliability, and safety.We wanted to take the progress of novel thermal management techniques a step further, which led us to the development of the world‘s first open-source thermal control circuits simulation tool, TCCbuilder. The basis for such a tool is a large database of suitable materials and thermal control elements(thermal switches, thermal diodes, etc.). Using various available TCCbuilder‘s templates or from TCCbuilder‘s library in the library of the TCCbuilder, users can design their own thermal control circuit, test its operation, and evaluate the results. Among other options, there is also the possibility to design a caloric device, which is presented step by step in this presentation.The toolcan also serve as a foundation for knowledge exchange in the field of thermal management.
