Thermal management technology for EVs and HEVs going forward.

We comprehensively discussed everything from thermal management technologies for each component to the trend changes in materials associated with electrification and automation, incorporating the latest market data!

● Before considering thermal management... Trends in the domestic and international automotive markets surrounding EVs and the business opportunities that can be identified from them ⇒ Changes in demand for various components due to electrification and their impact on manufacturers. What are the key areas for entry? ● Thermal management approaches from each component ■ Heat dissipation materials / Heat-resistant materials ・ Development trends of structural components requiring heat shielding, insulation, and low thermal capacity ■ Air conditioning ・ Development design guidelines for air conditioning control aimed at reducing heating load. Evaluation indicators used in automotive air conditioning development ■ Thermal storage technology ・ Types of thermal storage methods and their characteristics. Development status of chemical thermal storage technology ■ Motors / Inverters ・ Thermal issues such as heat generation and cooling of drive motors due to miniaturization, high torque/high output, and high rotation ■ Batteries ・ Concepts and fundamental technology considerations for miniaturization through sealing of the housing, dust resistance, and uniform temperature of cells ● Also addressing the automotive industry's topical technology "autonomous driving"! Examining newly emerging thermal issues and their countermeasures ・ Solar radiation shielding, interior comfort, air conditioning load, required material properties, etc.
