     Thermal Management                     English

When we talk about the aeronautical, space, wind or solar energy and military industries, we immediately think of thermal management. Indeed, in each of these industries, the thermal management of equipment must be beyond reproach. For this reason, equipment such as wind turbine batteries or vehicle batteries are equipped with liquid cold plates.

But the question remains: how to integrate these liquid cold plates while reducing the overall weight of the equipment to permit more performance? Here is our answer: aluminium liquid cold plates welded by friction stir welding.

Electric and Hybrid Vehicle constructors are searching for a low cost, compact, lightweight, and efficient heat transfer solutions. Thus, the best way to meet these objectives is to use a water heat sink in electric and hybrid vehicles.

But a question remains, how to assemble these heat sinks for e-mobility at a controlled cost and with impeccable quality? In this white paper, you will learn about the market trends for electric vehicles, the cost of heat sinks and their FSW design, and the quality process of friction stir welding.
