How to solve the heat dissipation problem of high-power EV chargers?

Setec Powerr

The heat capacity of water is also 3,500 times more efficient than the same volume of air, and up to 10 times more effective at dissipating heat from the source. Low cost, easy installation, high post maintenance cost. No contact with the external environment reduces the influence of dust, moisture, etc.,

Genifuel Licenses High-yield Algae-to-Natural Gas Process from PNNL

Green Car Congress

PNNL has tested the gasifier with terrestrial plants, kelp and water hyacinths. After condensation, the water enriched with dissolved carbon dioxide is recycled to the growth ponds to accelerate growth of the next generation of biomass while reducing emissions to nearly zero. Biofuels, Bioproducts & Biorefining 2, (3,):254-265.

DOE to Award Up to $27M in Phase III Small Business Awards; Algae Processing, Fuel Cells, Improved Materials for Motors, Synthetic Fuels Among Areas of Interest

Green Car Congress

Specifically, low cost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.

CPT presenting two papers at SAE World Congress on SpeedStart and TIGERS for 48V mild hybrid systems

Green Car Congress

Within the SpeedStart design water-cooled power and control electronics are housed within the rear of the machine to reduce cost, improve control response times and minimise losses in the power electronics. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components.
