Mastering EV Cooling: Advanced Thermal Management

Coursera Instructor Network via Coursera

Overview

Electric Vehicle Thermal Management is a foundational course designed to provide learners with a comprehensive overview of the crucial aspects of managing thermal conditions in electric vehicles (EVs). As the EV industry continues to grow, optimizing thermal performance becomes paramount for safety, efficiency, and overall vehicle performance. The course discusses the implementation of strategies for an Efficient Thermal Control system, such as optimizing battery cooling and heating, managing heat dissipation during fast charging, and enhancing cabin climate control. Additionally, learners will explore the integration of advanced thermal management technologies, including liquid cooling systems, phase change materials, and intelligent thermal control algorithms. The maintenance and troubleshooting of the thermal management system are also covered, which helps you understand some common issues and hazards associated with thermal management systems. Real-life industry examples like short circuit possibility because of coolant leakage are evaluated. These practical insights will empower learners to contribute to the development of more efficient and reliable thermal management systems for electric vehicles, addressing critical challenges in the rapidly evolving EV industry. This course is intended for beginners and professionals interested in electric vehicles, including engineers, technicians, and enthusiasts seeking to expand their knowledge of EV thermal management. No prior knowledge of electric vehicle technology is required. Basic familiarity with automotive systems is beneficial but not mandatory. Upon completing this course, learners will be proficient in identifying and evaluating the thermal aspects of electric vehicles, ensuring safe and efficient operation. You will be able to explain the features of a basic layout diagram of a thermal management system for a typical electric vehicle.
