• D2H works with Croda to utilise dielectric fluids to provide enhanced EV battery cooling solution
• Simulation correlation technique accelerates development process and could help achieve greater EV battery efficiency
• Dedicated test rig developed for battery cooling testing alongside CFD modelling
D2H Advanced Technologies, the advanced engineering company, has delivered a project for a major vehicle manufacturer that solves a known charging issue with a production electric vehicle (EV). The company deployed its battery simulation and correlation capability to enhance battery thermal management in a fast-charge scenario, accelerating the solution development process to reduce excess noise from high pumping power and help the dissipation of heat.
ABB is dedicating the latest episode in its Robot Podcast series to provide an insight into the many complex issues that car manufacturers face as they look to evolve their existing production facilities to accommodate rapidly increasing global demand for electrified vehicles.
