Part II: Engineering two-phase cooling for automotive reliability
Two-phase cooling can address the concentrated heat loads found in power-dense electric vehicle (EV) systems, but thermal performance alone isn’t enough for automotive production. The cooling system must also operate predictably throughout the … [Read more...]
Part I: How 800-V architectures are challenging EV thermal management
Electric vehicle (EV) thermal management is often discussed in terms of total heat removal, but higher-voltage architectures are creating a more localized challenge. As power electronics become smaller and more power-dense, waste heat is increasingly … [Read more...]
Silicone gap filler targets narrow spaces in EV battery packs
Wevo has introduced WEVOSIL 26029 FL, a thermally conductive silicone gap filler designed for compact high-voltage battery and power-electronics assemblies. The material provides thermal conductivity of 3 W/m·K with a density of 2.22 g/cm³. Wevo … [Read more...]
Why are EV cooling loops becoming multi-domain systems?
Electric vehicle (EV) thermal management once meant holding a single coolant loop within range. That's no longer the case. A modern battery-electric vehicle carries several heat sources that must be controlled together, with no free engine waste heat … [Read more...]
EV battery safety project focuses on thermal runaway mitigation
Electric powertrain development consultancy CamMotive and advanced materials company Thermulon have been named technology partners in a £2 million UK government-backed DRIVE35 project focused on electric vehicle (EV) battery safety. The companies … [Read more...]
Thermal strategy for sustained high-load dual-motor drive units
Dual-motor electric vehicles (EVs) can generate substantial torque for extended periods. However, continuous high-load operation places significant demands on the powertrain’s thermal management system. Heavy payloads, steep grades, towing … [Read more...]
When EV thermal management becomes a system problem
Thermal management in an electric vehicle (EV) is often treated as a component problem. You cool the battery. You cool the motor. You cool the inverter. Each has its own target temperature range and its own cooling strategy, and each tends to be … [Read more...]
How direct cell contact is changing EV battery cooling
Electric vehicle (EV) battery packs must charge faster, deliver more power, and hold more energy, all without much additional room inside the pack. Much of that engineering challenge now centers on the cooling interface between the cell and the … [Read more...]
Managing thermal stress in megawatt EV charging connectors
Heavy-duty fleet electrification requires megawatt-scale charging systems, including Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS), capable of withstanding extreme thermal stress. High-power charging generates significant heat at connector interfaces, accelerating … [Read more...]
How are AI-assisted models changing EV battery thermal management strategies?
Artificial intelligence (AI) battery thermal management now relies more on models that are primarily data-driven. Physics-based thermal models are accurate under controlled conditions but cannot adapt in real time to the variable loads, charge rates, … [Read more...]
