CryoSoplus enhances cooling capacity for electric vehicle batteries
One of the serious problems that electric vehicles face is heat. Under normal operating conditions, the battery is quickly heated. So, in the hot summer weather, overcharging will be possible. For that reason, scientists at the Energy Research Institute have devised a new cooler called CryoSopolus, which is thought to provide the ability to cool much water.
CryoSoplus is composed of water, paraffin, a stable dispersant and a small amount of refrigerant. When the solution is cooled, the paraffin will form droplets. The dispersant will keep the paraffin droplets in a constant suspension during the blending process to avoid condensation or rising. When heated, paraffin droplets will melt to keep heat and CryoSoplus will utilize this process to circulate heat evenly. After that, liquefied paraffin will recreate the droplets for cooling. And as such the process will be repeated on the drive.
The dispersion of paraffin droplets is a major factor in cooling performance, so researchers must make sure that the tendency must be able to survive for long periods of time without compromising performance, withstand pressure. When pumping through pipes and heat (when melted and frozen). If so, then the new performance will not be affected.
Because CryoSolpus has a higher heat dissipation than water, the cooling system will not need as much water as it used to. Obviously, the size and weight of the tank will decrease. However, the cost for this system is estimated to fluctuate between $ 61 and $ 122, more expensive than water-cooled systems. At the present time, researchers are continuing to work to improve cooling performance and increase heat transfer.
