This research collaboration between Dr. Bahrami at Simon Fraser University (SFU), Delta-Q Technologies (Delta-Q), and Terrella Energy Systems (Terrella) targets innovative, compact, and cost-effective cooling solutions needed by the industry partners for the expanding EV market. The overall goal of the research is to develop advanced compact cooling technologies and address thermal issues for high-power electronic devices cost-effectively. The collaborative research will include both passive and active-cooling methods; consider practical challenges, namely, their cost and manufacturability; and ranges from developing advanced materials to detailed studies, design, testing and prototyping of advanced cooling solutions for high-power battery chargers. Direct impacts of the proposed cooling solutions include increased heat transfer performance, improved reliability and reduced maintenance issues, and lower operating temperatures. Indirect impacts include improvements in system robustness, reduction in noise, and reduction in system costs, which will lead to adoption of new technologies that improve overall efficiency of high-power density battery chargers. The research results of this program will establish design tools and new thermal management systems, which will lead the industrial partners towards the development of more efficient heat transfer systems and the next-generation power electronics. In addition, the fundamental knowledge and engineering design tools developed in this research can be applied to a variety of sustainable and green energy applications.
