Battery cooling performance: Comparing liquid-dispense gap fillers with thermal pads

Charged

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. The degree of cooling for each assembled module was then measured during a fast charging cycle. The following figure illustrates this effect.

Hacking solutions to 'time-sensitive' climate problems

GreenBiz

Even if no cool inventions or startups come out of them, we're still fortunate that this is an educational opportunity — students still walk away learning about these issues and engaging with them more closely than they did before.

Battery testing with bidirectional laboratory power supplies: Learn about the advantages of the EA-PSB 10000

Charged

In our white paper, we explain how you can benefit from the features of a bidirectional power supply for such tests. In addition, the heat generation typical of electronic loads is eliminated, so users do not need extra cooling for the EA-PSB 10000. For further reading, we recommend our associated white paper.

Thermally conductive adhesives for next generation cell-to-pack configurations

Charged

One immediate route to achieving these goals is the elimination of the housings of battery modules and bonding individual cells directly to the cooling plate, a strategy known as “cell-to-pack” [1-3]. Both gap fillers, with the aid of a liquid-cooled plate, help regulate the temperature of the modules to ensure safe and efficient performance.

3 factors that impact gap filler reworkability in EV battery packs

Charged

The design of electric vehicle battery packs may vary among manufacturers but commonly, the battery is attached to its cooling plate not only with fasteners but also thermally conductive polymeric materials called gap fillers. pulling the battery generally deforms the cooling plate, thus, destroying the entire assembly.

Gap fillers for thermal management in electric vehicles

Charged

Thermal management of an EV battery pack is performed by a liquid-cooled metal plate commonly referred to as a cooling plate. For the purpose of this white paper, a 1K gap filler is defined as a thermally conductive thermoset. Parker LORD itself has an extensive portfolio of such thermal greases.

Fluid thinking: Equipping cities to avoid inundation

Envirotec Magazine

For example, completely removing and replacing CSOs, would require an entirely new sewer network costing up to £600 billion4 and widespread, disruptive roadworks over many decades, according to a recent white paper on sewer security published by water technology firm Grundfos.
