Immersion cooled technology in PHEV applications
The highly innovative immersion cooling technology developed by LION Smart enables more efficient heat dissipation and higher power density.
By directly immersing battery cells in a dielectric cooling fluid supplied by Castrol, temperature distribution is optimized, enhancing lifespan and safety.
Combined with an optimized Battery Management System with Electrical Impedance Measurement, this innovation can significantly improve the efficiency, especially of plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) as it results in higher recuperation, more power at lower system cost and increased safety.
