Why Direct Immersion Cooling for EVs? 

Direct Immersion Effectively Suppresses Battery Thermal Runaway

In the heart of every modern battery electric vehicle (BEV) lies a meticulously arranged network of small battery cells.  

These “battery packs” are the key power sources for plug-in hybrid or full electric vehicles. Unfortunately, they’re also prone to excessive heat issues, such as battery thermal runaway, that can compromise battery lifespan.

What is Battery Thermal Runaway?

Battery thermal runaway refers to a critical safety condition that can occur in EV batteries, where a self-perpetuating, uncontrollable increase in temperature and energy release leads to catastrophic failure, including fires or explosions.

Immersion cooling effectively suppresses and stops battery thermal runaway by providing direct contact between the coolant and the battery cells. This can prevent thermal runaway from spreading from one cell to the next.

Direct Immersion Enables Extreme Fast Charging (XFC)

Direct immersion can also enable faster charging. Why does that matter?

Battery electric vehicles are entering the market from an increasing number of OEMs. And as new competitors enter the market, consumers will consider the greater range of options available, with charging speed near the top of the list.

How can OEMs differentiate on BEV charging speeds? By considering direct immersion of the battery as an enabler for XFC.

Direct immersion effectively absorbs excess heat generated during faster charging. This ensures that the battery cells remain within their optimal operating range, promoting efficient charging and preserving the overall health of the batteries.
