With the impending 2017 EPA midterm review growing closer, CO2 emission reduction is at the forefront of vehicle design consideration for OEMs and Tier One's alike. There is a growing dollars spent/gram of CO2 reduced race, and with valuable ECA credits on the line and drive to meet the C.A.F.E. standards by 2025, thermal management can play a vital part in creating more efficient vehicles.
This Conference will explore the major trends facing the Automotive Industry today; in regards to utilizing the latest thermal management technology for emission reduction and better business solutions. As challenges arise in how to balance efficiency and the need to maintain power and performance in both
ICE and HEV vehicles,
thermal management becomes a valuable tool in cost effectively producing the best overall vehicle.
What are the benefits of attending?
- In-Depth sessions on the pros and cons of varying cooling techniques
- Unique focus on both technology and business perspectives of thermal management
- Over 4 hours dedicated to networking with top OEMs and Tier Ones
Main Themes will include, but not be limited to:
- Analyzing air vs. liquid cooling - choosing cost effectiveness or greater thermal control
- Developing cooling and heating strategies to generate the longest battery life and charge mileage in climates from Phoenix to Buffalo
- Packaging and layout of the vehicle as a whole- with thermal management at the forefront- to create the most fuel efficient, powerful car
- Creating lightweight HVAC systems to make assist in vehicle efficiency
- Utilizing modern HVAC design, dual units and unified temperature for the driver and back seat passengers to meet consumer demand for climate
- Directing thermal management towards maintaining efficient battery temperature through powertrain electrification and hybridization
- Focusing on thermal management on the battery with attention to the specific demands of hybrid cars
- Understanding how simulation and modeling are at the forefront of thermal management solutions
