Accelerating EV R&D with rapid material characterisation: Optimizing thermal management starts with an understanding of the effective thermal conductivity of the materials employed in an EV. C-Therm helps accelerate time to market in assisting R&D groups improve material characterization in quantifying the effective thermal conductivity of materials for use in electric vehicles battery packs and e-motors. Sensoring adhesive dispensing in battery pack (energy module) production: As OEM’s scale electric vehicle production, the industry is looking towards Industry 4.0 and related sensor technologies in the optimization of the manufacturing process. Traceability for quality control and potential liability issues are important. One critical aspect of EV production is ensuring good thermal management of the battery to prevent thermal runaway. Using thermal conductivity data, the MTPS can be applied as a real-time process monitoring solution, able to detect filler settling, air bubbles, and uneven distribution within the glue.
