Thermal Management: Not just for computers!


we were pleased to see this headline in thermal management of electric cars since cooling can be a key factor in their functioning properly or not, here' a snippet from that article:

researchers from bosch, daimler, sitronic, the research institute for automotive technology and vehicle motors (fkfs), and engine cooling expert company behr gmbh have joined forces to work on significantly reducing the energy expenditure required to keep the power train components of electric cars.

working on a thermal management concept optimised for electrically driven vehicles, the partners in the gate project (the acronym stands for "ganzheitliches thermomanagement im e-fahrzeug" or "holistic thermal management for electric vehicles"), get granular on energy-efficient designs for cooling systems.

the full article is here on ee times europe: researchers attempt thermal management on ecars

readers who want even more information on this important topic should read our article here at coolingzone, "thermal design of the next generation of liquid-cooled power inverters for electric vehicles at motorola".

another resource is a paper released by the u.s. national renewable energy laboratory, (nrel), in golden colorado, talks about the challenges and solutions to automotive electric vehicle cooling, particularly of the battery, you can see a copy of this at the nrel lab by clicking to, "battery thermal management in ev's and hev's: issues and solutions"

another resource from the u.s. national renewable energy laboratory is a presentation from may 2012.  this presentation considers cooling loops in electric vehicle thermal mangement and considerations on implementing them, you can read more by clicking to: "integrated vehicle thermal management - combining fluid loops in electric drive vehicles"

finally, advanced thermal solutions, published an article in ee times also on this topic of thermal management for automotives.  in it they cover a variety of topics from the differences in automotive and trucks, ceramic packages for automotive electronics and even immersive cooling. you can read it here at ee times, "thermal management in automotive applications". (advanced thermal solution's qpedia emagazine is a media sponsor of coolingzone).
