On March 8th, Garrett Motion will be at the 12th edition of the Thermal Management for EV/HEV 2024, in Munich, participating to a panel discussion on how thermal management systems can optimize motor and inverter performance.
Thermal management system plays a crucial role in improving the performance and convenience of electric vehicles.
In particular the need for fast charging is driving new challenges to keep the batteries at the right temperature. Battery temperature has an important correlation with battery life, so better thermal management systems can contribute to faster charging ability, increase the longevity of the batteries.
Efficient thermal management in BEV’s is increasingly seen from a holistic perspective considering all elements including cabin, batteries, electric motors, inverters, and other sources of heat in the vehicle. Integrated thermal management systems target to reuse waste heat from powertrain components to heat up the cabin and increase driving range in cold climate. In hot climate however, there is a growing need for higher performance cooling systems. Novel architectures and breakthrough technologies such as Garrett’s electric refrigerant compressor enable higher performance to tackle these challenges.
Presentation Date: Friday, March 8th, 11:20 – 12:00 CET

Garrett’s E-Cooling compressor for EV thermal management is designed to regulate and maintain optimal temperatures in various components of an electric vehicle (EV), but also provide desired cabin comfort. The E-Cooling system actively manages heat generated during different driving conditions, including charging, acceleration, and sustained high-speed driving.
