2024年以降の熱管理による新しい産業の実現

Thermal management is critical in many applications, it keeps components operating in their optimal window of performance and efficiency. This primarily concerns preventing overheating, but can also mean heating components in cold conditions.

 

The electric vehicle market may have slowed its growth in 2024, but it is still growing and IDTechEx predicts its growth will resume in the coming years. Whilst an actively liquid-cooled battery is now the industry standard, there are other trends happening concerning greater system integration, new fluids cooling components, and OEMs taking these developments in-house. A critical component of an EV is its power electronics and as these move to higher power density, higher voltage systems, the thermal management challenges change too.

 

Another massive growth area in 2024 has been the data center market, with greater adoption of AI hardware presenting new demands on data center infrastructure and thermal management. Air conditioning reigns as the dominant thermal management strategy, but with higher-performance devices being adopted, liquid cooling is becoming commercialised with different strategies such as single- or two-phase cold plate or single- or two-phase immersion cooling.

 

This webinar by IDTechEx will summarise some of the key trends seen in 2024 and what we can expect for the future of thermal management including:
