An Immersive Solution for Thermally Safer EV Batteries

Research and development work to solve an excessive noise problem created by an EV’s battery fast charger has led to advances in thermal management, heat dissipation, and reduced fire risks. D2H Advanced Technologies, a UK-based specialist engineering company, found that the noise occurred during the vehicle’s fast-charge cycles. It was caused by high pumping-power requirements for the coolant, essential to dissipate battery heat. Its OEM customer satisfied, D2H shifted its research focus directly to the thermal demands of series production lithium-ion batteries.
