The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EV) coupled with commercial demands is spurring the development of more powerful and long-lasting batteries. Between faster charging time, longer range, lower cost, and safety, the evolution of EV batteries is hot – in a both a literal and figurative sense. EV manufacturers must surmount the cooling barrier to achieve their goals, which means finding cooling solutions that account for thermal efficiency, temperature uniformity, size, weight, and cost. Similar cooling needs ring true for e-motors, as more power is making its way into the electric space, fast. In their pursuit, many cooling techniques have been explored, including air cooling, liquid cooling, and phase change materials, with liquid cooling claiming the title as today’s solution of choice for both EV batteries and e-motors as per its performance to weight and size ratio.

In the tech world, thermal design has always been a cornerstone for innovation. Today, that innovation has resulted in size conscious products that deliver more, faster, to maintain their competitive edge. This has resulted in more power being packed in today‘s smaller gadgets, which means that they generate more heat than their predecessors did. The increase in heat generation demands more robust and efficient cooling to ensure product reliability and efficiency.

The Belgian engineering company, Diabatix, is seeking investors to further develop the engineering design algorithm that powers their artificially intelligent virtual engineer. “We want to expand the current capabilities of the engineering design algorithm to meet the growing demand for virtual engineering. We believe we can really play a pioneering role in this field,” says Diabatix CEO, Lieven Vervecken.
