EV Battery Cooling

The battery compartment is the most integral part of an electric vehicle with range being a primary concern to consumer adoption. Boyd has designed liquid cooling systems and cold plates for key industry innovators that enable smaller, lighter battery thermal systems; creating more design space for more powerful batteries with faster charge cycles, more efficient utilization of energy, and more reliable vehicles with greater range.

Battery Thermal Runaway Prevention

An additional safety concern is lithium-ion battery thermal runawayEV battery thermal runaway protection can be accomplished with multi-functional, complex solutions designed for cell-to-cell application that absorb impact, vibration and movement, dissipate cell heat, and act a flame or heat barrier and isolator in the event of a catastrophic battery event. Enabling your EV battery designs to proactively and safely prevent thermal runaway events and quickly isolate extreme heat or fire in the unlikely event battery safety design features fail to prevent cell-to-cell propagation. Integrated assemblies feature cooling fins or heat spreaders with compression pads and flame-rated electrical insulation to isolate li-ion battery cells.

Prevent Thermal Runaway in EV Batteries

Maintain homogenous temperatures across battery cells, enable faster charge/discharge cycles, reduce battery overheating, isolate catastrophic battery events when they happen, or better yet, prevent them from ever happening.

Protect Batteries Against Collision Impact

Enhance consumer safety and reduce warranty expenses by protecting battery compartments in the event of a collision with ruggedized impact-absorbing seals.

Battery Housing Seals and Collision Protection

Battery compartments, enclosures and housings must be waterproofed and protected against contamination from road debris, precipitation, oil, dirt, and many other environmental factors for high reliability performance over the life of the vehicle. Batteries are exposed to extremely harsh road vibration and potential sudden impact. Battery housing seals, gaskets and damper pads are designed to withstand and absorb this variable force, vibration and extreme impact, minimizing the detrimental impact on the battery and reducing warranty costs. Seals and gaskets are ruggedized to withstand repeat and instantaneous shock, vibration, impact and friction without degrading performance.

Extend Battery Range and Life

Boyd’s lightweight, high performance sealing and cooling solutions enable you to design larger batteries with greater power density ruggedized to withstand harsh road conditions for extended battery range and life.

Optimize Energy Use

Inverter Cooling and Managing Power Electronic Thermals

The ability to maximize energy utilization across various electronic components within an electric vehicle requires power to be supplied in AC (alternating current) that is generated in DC (direct current) by a battery for precisely controlled and consumed on-demand energy use. For maximum energy efficiency and sustainability, power regeneration reverts the process collecting energy from the motor when it’s not accelerating and returning it to charge the battery. Power electronics convert and control electric power in an eMobility vehicle including inverters, converters and on-board chargers. Inverters function as the energy converter in an electric vehicle, transforming DC generated energy to consumable AC and regenerated AC energy back to DC. Boyd’s liquid cooling systems and custom cold plate applications cool the high levels of heat generated as a byproduct of critical eMobility inverters and other power electronics, enabling highest efficiency power conversion and use, resulting in greater range and faster charge cycles for better consumer adoption.

ADAS Advanced Driving Assistance Systems and Compute Cooling

Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) are enabling the increasing levels of smart and intuitive functionality within vehicles and are the foundation for progressing to full Level 5 automation and self driving cars. Advanced ADAS cooling systems are required to manage the heat created by the high compute power required to support the complexity, processing speed and responsiveness for ADAS and autonomous vehicles. Boyd’s advanced compute thermal systems are compact, lightweight and highly reliable to assure consistent compute performance, efficient energy use and safe compute operating temperatures are always maintained regardless of compute demand.
