Huber’s new Unimotive model range offers precise temperature control for battery and material tests
Temperature control is a critical factor during stress and load testing in the development of batteries, materials and other vehicle components. The heat transfer fluid (HTF) used in testing is often a water-ethylene glycol mixture. To address these applications, thermoregulation specialist Huber has expanded its portfolio to include temperature control systems designed and tested specifically… Read more »
New Vehicles Deserve Better Cooling Lines: Introducing Zytel LCPA Resin and Santoprene TPV
EV batteries have the potential to overheat, leading to a thermal runaway event. But even milder temperatures have a negative effect on EV battery performance and longevity, making thermal management systems essential. In this presentation we will discuss a variety of configuration possibilities, with stiff and flexible sections as necessary, as well as highlight the… Read more »
Thermal runaway in EV battery packs: designing a mitigation strategy
Aspen Aerogels’ cutting-edge materials protect against thermal runaway Thermal runaway occurs inside a battery cell through a fault, a crash scenario or some other defect that causes the cell to release thermal energy through chemical reactions. That thermal energy increases the temperature of the cell, the increased temperature drives faster kinetics, and more heat is… Read more »

New Zealand firm offers improved LFP battery packs for Nissan Leaf
The Nissan Leaf is a historic and much-loved vehicle. First-generation (2011-2016) Leafs lack the range that current EV buyers expect, but thousands of owners (including your correspondent) still find them to be delightful daily drivers. One of the many nifty things about EVs is that it’s possible to replace a degraded or damaged battery pack… Read more »
Thermal runaway early detection: critical sensors and connections for safe battery management
Sponsored by TTI and Amphenol. Battery management systems (BMS)—the electronic brains that monitors and maintains lithium ion battery packs—are essential for the safe and efficient operation of the batteries powering a variety of applications, including electric vehicles. The growth of electric vehicle technology is driven by the desire for reduced emissions, quieter and less expensive… Read more »
