Advancing Electric Vehicle Performance with Diabatix's ColdStream Software

Here at Formula Electric Belgium, our mission is to push the limits of electric vehicle performance. One important aspect of achieving optimal performance is effective cooling and thermal management. In our pursuit of innovation, we have partnered with Diabatix and their advanced software, ColdStream. This blog post will explore how ColdStream is improving our research and development efforts to enhance efficiency and cooling for future custom drives.

Streamlining Cooling Solutions for Future Custom Drives

As part of our ongoing research, we are investigating the use of custom drives in our future electric racecars. These drives are designed to deliver exceptional performance while being more lightweight and compact than in previous years. However, they also generate significant heat that needs to be efficiently dissipated. ColdStream, developed by Diabatix, enables us to perform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) optimizations to improve cooling solutions for our custom drives. By utilizing the software's capabilities, we can design cooling systems that ensure optimal temperature management, enabling the drives to operate at their maximum efficiency.
