Automotive Power Electronics Cooling Technology Research at NREL

This presentation describes power electronics thermal management technologies used for on-road EVs. Examples are provided and heat exchangers are described. Advanced cooling technologies developed are NREL to enable increased power density and enable high WBG temperature operation are then presented. The performance (e.g., thermal resistance, pumping power) of the advanced power electronics cooling technologies are compared to the performance of current, on-road technology.

Thermionic Sources For Electron Cooling At IOTA

We are designing and fabricating two new thermionic sources of magnetized electrons for use in the electron lens project at the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) at Fermilab. These electron sources will be used for cooling of 2.5 MeV protons in the presence of intense space-charge. Furthermore, we are constructing an electron source test stand at the University of Chicago which will validate the electrical, thermal, and vacuum characteristics of thermionic sources. In this paper we present the progress made so far and the upcoming steps for the thermionic electron sources for electron cooling and the test stand.

Thermionic Sources for Electron Cooling at IOTA

We are designing and fabricating two new thermionic sources of magnetized electrons for use in the electron lens project in the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) at Fermilab. These electron sources will be used for cooling 2.5 MeV protons. One source will be used to compensate for emittance growth due to Intra Beam Scattering in experiments with weak space-charge, while the other source will be used to research the interplay between electron cooling and intense space charge. In this paper we present the progress made so far and the upcoming steps for the thermionic electron sources.

Useful formulas for non-magnetized electron cooling

Recent success of Low Energy RHIC Electron Cooler (LEReC) opened a road for development of high energy electron coolers based on non-magnetized electron bunches accelerated by RF cavities. Electrons in such coolers can have velocity distribution with various unequal horizontal, vertical and longitudinal velocity spreads. In this paper we revisit a formula of friction force in non-magnetized cooling and derive a number of useful expressions for different limiting cases.

Waste heat recovery power electronics cooling

A cooling system for an electrified vehicle includes a first cooling loop for circulating coolant for cooling at least one of power electronics and a motor/generator of the vehicle. The first coolant loop includes a heat exchanger for exchanging heat with the coolant in the first cooling loop. A second cooling loop is provided for circulating coolant for cooling a battery of the vehicle. The second cooling loop includes a coolant chiller connected to a refrigeration system of the vehicle for exchanging heat in the coolant received from the battery with the refrigeration system of the vehicle.

Conceptual design report: a ring-based electron cooling system for the EIC

This report describes a concept of an EIC cooling system, based on a proven induction-linac technology with a DC electron beam. The system would operate in a full energy range of proton beams (100–270 GeV) and would provide 50–100 A electron beams, circulating in a cooler ring for 5 ms. Every 5 ms a new electron pulse would be injected into the cooler ring to provide continuous cooling at collisions. Operations with a 10-ms cycle is possible but it will reduce the cooling rates by ~30%. The system is capable of delivering the required performance in the entire EIC energy range with emittance cooling times of less than 1–2 hours.
