"Temperature affects all cars, but it has an even bigger impact on electric vehicles. Cold impedes range, and batteries, motors and power electronics all require cooling, consuming much-needed energy. But new developments in thermal management are helping extend the range and lifetime of EVs" Richard N Williams

Engines are a preponderant heat source in both mobile applications and manufacturing machines. In this lecture, Joris delves into the cooling of engines. The first engine he studies is the combustion engine of a bomber plane manufactured just before WW II. The second engine is an electric motor, which was used in a manufacturing line. Surprisingly, engines are still cooled the same way today. How do current designs look like? Find it out on our website

Quickly, new developments are rising up in the car industry. As an illustration machine learning is one of them. It makes it possible to develop improved materials faster than before. Our company works with AI to make sure our designs outperform in real-world circumstances. We evaluate different material options, comparing cooling capacity, energy efficiency, weight, and cost.
