How can scientific advancements assist original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in complying with electric vehicle safety laws while enhancing the dependability of cooling systems?
This upcoming webinar will delve into the role of engineered fluids and polymers in helping OEMs navigate new regulations. Hosted by Lubrizol, a panel of experts will examine the use of dielectric fluids as alternatives to water-glycol fluids in cold plate cooling systems. They will present insights gained from their collaborations with electric car racing teams and explain why dielectric fluids are a safer and more reliable option for cooling in both electric and hybrid vehicles.
Additionally, the session will explore how cutting-edge chemical solutions can help mitigate fire risks in battery electric vehicles and hybrids. This discussion will encompass the entire battery cooling system, highlighting formulated dielectric fluids suitable for immersing and cooling batteries, as well as thermoplastics used for manufacturing system casings. The webinar will also address critical design considerations for OEMs, such as material compatibility, emphasizing how selecting the right components can foster safer and more reliable systems.
Moreover, ensuring the safety and dependability of these systems extends beyond the vehicle itself. What measures can be taken to maintain system integrity during charging? The rapid adoption of electric vehicles will hinge on the availability of ultra-fast charging solutions. The webinar will elaborate on the potential of immersion cooling fluids in this context and discuss how flame-retardant thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) can be optimized for robustness, flexibility, and thermal stability to enhance charging safety.

Battery Modeling With COMSOL Multiphysics®
Creating high-performance, long-lasting, and safe batteries necessitates a comprehensive understanding of battery technology and the underlying physical mechanisms at play. Modeling and simulation software allows designers to assess batteries in ways that traditional experimentation cannot provide. Various stakeholders study battery systems with distinct objectives, enabling modeling and simulation projects to accommodate different scopes based on their goals.
In this webinar, we will explore battery modeling across three diverse design scales: microscale, cell scale, and pack scale. We will offer a brief overview of the user interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® software and outline the Model Builder workflow. The session will conclude with a live demonstration, showcasing how battery designers can leverage COMSOL® software features to evaluate and optimize various thermal management strategies for battery packs.
