MAHLE develops a new bionic battery cooling plate
German automotive parts supplier MAHLE has developed a new bionic battery cooling plate with cooling channels modeled on shapes encountered in nature (i.e. coral) that cause the coolant to flow differently than conventional flow-through solutions. MAHLE’s bionic structure improves the thermodynamic performance and structural-mechanical properties of the cooling plate, says the company. Also, the design… Read more »
Battery cooling performance: Comparing liquid-dispense gap fillers with thermal pads
Sponsored by LORD Corporation The focus of LORD Corporation’s study is to investigate how the superior thermal transfer provided by gap fillers versus gap pads affects cooling of actual battery modules. Battery modules were assembled using LORD gap fillers with thermal conductivity of 2 and 4 W/m·K, and also with commercially available gap pads of… Read more »
