A novel thermal management for electric and hybrid vehicles

Assuring the right temperature in battery compartments of an electric or hybrid vehicle is crucial for the safe operation and the achievement of optimal performance of the batteries. This paper is about the design, fabrication, and testing of a novel system for thermal management for electric/hybrid vehicles. This system is based on Peltier-effect heat pumps. The experiment results show the applicability of this type of technology for the thermal management for this type of vehicles.
