9:00 am - 9:40 am KEY DESIGN TARGETS, CONSTRAINTS AND CHOICES FOR PERFORMANCE, EFFICIENCY, COST AND SAFETY

Blaž Grafenauer - Chief Architect, Elaphe

EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THERMAL MANAGEMENT AND OTHER KEY METRICS WHENDESIGNING A COMPLETE VEHICLE SYSTEM


Ten years ago, thermal management in an EV car was not mandatory. Fast forward to today, not only is thermal

management essential but it is also more important, more challenging, and more costly than ever before.

For an automaker that is optimising the entire vehicle, thermal management is just one variable that they worry about;

cost, efficiency and performance are other key metrics that OEMs are judged on when they design a complete system.

However thermal management directly impacts cost, performance, and vehicle mass.

9:40 am - 10:20 am ADVANCES IN EESM FOR TRACTION APPLICATIONS

This presentation will discuss our latest developments in Electrically Excited Synchronous Machines (EESM) with a focus

on efforts to improve continuous performance through thermal design optimization, the development of a brushless

excitation system to supply the rotor current and the exploration of control possibilities to improve system efficiency.

10:20 am - 11:00 am MORNING NETWORKING BREAK


11:00 am - 11:40 am COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT TYPES & USES OF NEW REFRIGERANTS

Rebecca Bellchambers - Thermal Research Analyst, S&P Global Mobility

TECHNICAL DEEP-DIVE PRESENTATION

The most important things companies are considering when it comes to refrigerants is efficiency, cost, and availability in the region and its components. We’re inviting a distinguished speaker to guide the audience through the cost and capabilities of new refrigerants, focusing on these key areas among others:


What is currently being developed by chemical companies in terms of new refrigerants

What are suppliers testing in their systems

What will the transition from an existing refrigerant to a carbon dioxide refrigerant mean for system re-design

Flammable Refrigerants: Find out which refrigerants are flammable and more efficient than the others

Release dates and cost of new refrigerant features

Comparison of existing vs. new refrigerant

11:40 am - 12:20 pm THE ROLE OF HARDWARE-IN-THE-LOOP IN AUTOMOTIVE THERMAL MANAGEMENT TESTING

Stefan Nemec - Global Business Segment Manager – Powertrain & Electrified Test Systems, AVL List GmbH



In development, time is money: This presentation shows how a model-based front-loading approach supports the development of complex thermal management systems even before vehicle prototypes are tested in wind tunnels and on the road. Learn how to reduce risk and improve efficiency

2:40 pm - 3:20 pm FIND THE SWEET SPOT BETWEEN MANAGING BATTERY, VEHICLE RANGE & CABIN COMFORT

Alessandro Riccio - Performance Engineer - Energy and Thermal for Electric Application, IVECO Group

Passengers want to feel comfortable within their vehicle and for the vehicle to be cool enough when the ambient temperature is more than 30 and vice versa. These elements have implications on how OEMs conditions the battery and this can affect range in a positive or a negative way – often negative more than positive. Finding this sweet spot in terms of thermal management as the industry is constrained by range has never been more important.


Listen to this highly important discussion as cabin comfort and thermal management experts take the stage to share:

What different OEMs are doing to achieve the sweet spot between passenger comfort and range

Ways to manage, cool and heat all the high-voltage and low-voltage components within the car depending on what the ambient temperature is

3:20 pm - 4:00 pm HYBRID HEATSINKS FOR BETTER COOLING OF AUTOMOTIVE POWER ELECTRONICS

Michael Dasch - International Sales Manager, Impact Innovations GmbH

Copper and aluminum are the most important materials regarding automotive heatsink production. You will learn about a new technology – cold spray - that opens up the possibility of joining those materials in pure form to hybrids, that benefit from the advantages of copper as well as aluminum. Using cold spray technology, you can increase the performance of inverter heatsinks up to 30% while still reducing the weight of the heatsink. Impact Innovations GmbH will show how the newest generation of electric cars from several OEM´s benefit from this process.
