WHAT IS THERMAL MANAGEMENT?

The more power and capacity you pack into a small space – like a battery cell or a circuit board – the more heat it generates. 

Thermal management safely dissipates excessive heat away from a battery or electronic component so that it functions properly and does not combust.

In EV batteries, this usually involves surrounding or encapsulating the part in thermal interface material (TIM), also known as gap filler.

In electronics, TIM typically is dispensed directly onto the surface of electronic components.

WHY IS THERMAL MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT?

Temperature plays a huge role in the longevity, efficiency and safety of a battery cell or electronic component.

If the temperature is too low, power, capacity or performance can decrease.

If the temperature is too high, degradation can occur, reducing the product’s life cycle. Too much heat also can cause safety risks that can have catastrophic consequences.

Keeping the temperature constant and evenly distributed is advised. Yet, reliable thermal management challenges manufacturers because excessive heat occurs for so many different reasons.

Therefore, batteries and electronics must be designed with thermal management systems that prevent overheating and safely guide the heat away from critical components.
