Video Series on Thermal Management Solutions for Vehicles and other applications

The Technical Services video series is an invaluable resource, providing comprehensive knowledge about thermal management systems for fuel cells, electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles.
In this series, you will explore the critical role of thermal management in the performance and efficiency of your application. Each video delves into various aspects of EV thermal management and hydrogen fuel cell cooling systems. We will explore the principles of heat transfer, the importance of maintaining optimal operating temperatures and the impact of thermal conditions on the longevity and reliability of fuel cells and battery systems.

Introduction to Thermal Management for electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs)

An introduction to vehicle level thermal management. Our demonstration vehicle is a battery electric, with a fuel cell range extender. This series starts with simplified cooling circuits, and a focus on key technologies, progressing to integrated thermal management.

Understanding the role of electric coolant pumps in Electric Vehicles

In this chapter, we delve into the critical function of electric coolant pumps, which are a fundamental component of the thermal architecture of electric vehicles (EVs). We also discuss high voltage coolant pumps for fuel cell vehicles which are a game changer for thermal management, in terms of power, efficiency, and packaging.

Expansion tanks for engine cooling

In this chapter, we discover more about the vital role that expansion tanks play in the thermal management systems of electric vehicles (EVs) and other applications. Cooling fluids expand but are considered ‘incompressible.’ Therefore, the architecture of a cooling system needs to integrate expansion tanks to accommodate the increase of fluid as it heats up with rising temperatures.

Coolant manifolds and why flow distribution is crucial on EV platforms

In this chapter, we focus on the role of coolant manifolds and why flow distribution is crucial on EV platforms. Within a cooling architecture of an EV, one pump services many components: these components can have different duty cycles, temperature and flow limits. Our video demonstrates how a coolant manifold is essential for precise flow distribution.
