Johnson Controls and Fraunhofer Association develop automotive battery technology
Johnson Controls recently announced that it has signed a cooperation agreement with the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft to jointly develop the next-generation energy-saving cooling system for automotive batteries. Johnson Controls scientists and engineers will collaborate with the UMAICHT and the Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials (IFAM), which is part of Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, and will focus on lithium-ions. Battery pack technology and thermal management strategies. Mary Ann Wright, vice president of engineering and product development for Johnson Controls Power Solutions, said: "Optimizing energy storage solutions in a wider automotive environment will help Johnson Controls to design, develop, and commercialize systems that will not only satisfy customers. Requirements also bring improvements in functionality, packaging and costs." The cooperation between the two parties will focus on the 48 volt micro hybrid battery technology. Prior to this, Johnson Controls has demonstrated its micro-hybrid battery technology and has the potential to reduce fuel consumption by 15 percent, thereby helping auto companies meet increasingly stringent regulations. Consumer fuel costs will also be reduced. Johnson Controls stated that the technology developed by the company and the Fraunhofer Association in the automotive battery cooling system will be adopted first in Europe and then will be quickly extended to the United States and will be further promoted globally by 2020.

Heat sinks maximize the surface of an object to be cooled for heat dissipation to the air. It sounds simple, but there are still many factors to consider! Housing, air speed and the materials used play an important role in the efficiency of the chosen cooling method. The thermal resistance of the material, the design of the cooling fins, the post-treatment, and even the color of the Heat Sink are factors which are decisive for the efficiency of the cooling, as well as the attachment of the heat sink.
