EVHEV Themal Tech Cooling The Mobility of Tomorrow Interview

View Automotive IQ's interview with:

• Federica Bettoja, Thermal systems specialist at CRF
• Jean-Michel Fiard, Expert Thermal Physics and Innovation

Here are a few of the questions we asked them:

• When it comes to cabin and passenger comfort, what are the main differences and challenges between EVs and HEVs?
• What approaches exist to recover waste heat and convert it into useful energy?
• Finding interactions between the different thermal management systems in the vehicle, which would
  lead to reducing complexity and drive down cost is one of the challenges faced by the industry. What are some of the developments that have been done in order to achieve this goal?
• What are the most effective battery thermal management methods currently? What are their advantages?
• What do you mean by “multiphysic modeling approach to battery cooling”? How is this realized?
• Which modeling and simulation tools do you use and why?
