How can science help OEMs to meet electric vehicle safety regulations and improve cooling system reliability?
This webinar will look in detail at how engineered fluids and polymers can help OEMs to meet these new regulations. Presented by Lubrizol, a team of experts will discuss how dielectric fluids can be used in place of water glycol fluids in cold plate cooling systems. Sharing findings from their work with electric car racing teams, they will discuss how dielectric fluids perform in cold plate cooling systems and share the reasons why this is a safer and more reliable fluid choice in this application for not only EVs but also hybrids.
We will also discuss how innovative chemistry can be help suppress fire in battery electric vehicles and hybrids. This will touch on the battery cooling system as a whole, from the formulated dielectric fluids that can be used to immerse and cool the battery to the thermoplastics that can be used to construct the casings within the system. We will also discuss the factors that OEMs need to consider when designing a system that will be reliable such as material compatibility. Choosing the right components will enable a safer and more reliable system.
Finally, safety and system reliability doesn’t stop at the vehicle itself. How do we ensure that the system is safe and reliable whilst being charged? Enabling extra fast charging is going to be crucial in the adoption of electric vehicles. We will discuss how immersion cooling fluids can be used in this application as well as how charging can be enabled by flame-retardant thermoplastic polyurethane (TPUs) that are optimised to be robust, flexible and thermally stable
Other sessions at our Fall Virtual Conference include:
Battery Modeling With COMSOL Multiphysics®
Designing high-performance, durable, and safe batteries requires a detailed understanding of battery technology and the underlying physical processes. Modeling and simulation software helps designers look inside the battery in a way that is not possible using experiments. Battery systems are studied by various stakeholders with distinct goals and purposes. Depending on the purpose, modeling and simulation projects can be executed with different scopes.
In this webinar, we will discuss battery modeling at three different design scales: the microscale, cell scale, and pack scale. Then, we will provide a quick overview of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software user interface and the general Model Builder workflow. Finally, in a live demonstration, we will show how battery designers can use the features available in the COMSOL® software to evaluate and optimize different thermal management strategies for battery packs.
