Suitable simulation models and design methods must be established for parameter design of xerographic systems with simulation. Thermal control design of a complex fusing unit requires a simulation tool not only with high accuracy but also with high speed. The simulation model developed in this study utilizes a hybrid calculation technique of one and two-dimensional heat transfer model, and is capable of high-speed calculation without decreasing accuracy. In this model, heat transfer efficiencies between components are defined and determined in advance by one-dimensional numerical analysis. The simulation tool for belt roll fusing units installed in Fuji Xerox Color 1000/800 press was developed and applied to parameter design. Development time was greatly reduced as a result of its application.
