Transport industry

In 2022 global CO₂ emissions from the transport sector grew by more than 250 Mt CO₂ to nearly 8 Gt CO₂ according to report by IEA. Tempering this increase, Electric Vehicles continued to gain momentum in 2022, with over 10 million cars sold globally. The increase in production of transport units (cars, boats, aircrafts) with electric propulsion systems and the need for efficient cooling of batteries and motors has necessitated innovation in cooling systems.

That’s where Synano’s novel cooling techniques come in!

Battery technology, environmental concerns, and government initiatives

The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is experiencing a substantial increase due to several key factors.

Environmental impact and climate change
Government incentives
Technological advancements in battery technology and decreasing production costs
Innovation by automakers and expanding charging infrastructure
Urban planning initiatives

A similar trend is also being observed in the aerospace and maritime market. Electric boats are gaining popularity due to their environmental benefits and increasing advancements in electric propulsion systems

Electric aircraft are particularly well-suited for urban air mobility (UAM) becoming an attractive option for intercity travel and transportation within metropolitan areas. This has led to increased interest and investment in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

Motors and batteries generate heat during operation, and efficient cooling is crucial to maintain their performance and longevity.
Maintaining optimal battery temperature is crucial for their efficiency and lifespan.
Air or liquid cooling is generally used to cool down batteries and motors.
Typically, water or a water-glycol mixture is used to transfer heat away from the motor.
Immersion cooling is coming up as a new alternative to increase efficiency and reduce temperatures even further.

Nanofluids and nano surface modifications

Synano’s nano-cooling techniques, such as using nano-coolants or nano-dielectrics, can enhance heat transfer from batteries, improving their thermal management and overall efficiency.

Heat exchangers are critical components in automotive, aircraft and boat cooling systems. Nanostructured surfaces created by Synano can enhance the efficiency of heat exchangers by improving heat transfer rates and increasing surface area for heat exchange contributing to overall weight reduction and improved energy efficiency.

By incorporating nano cooling techniques in transport industry, several benefits can be achieved:

Improved thermal management
Enhanced safety
Increased energy efficiency
Weight reduction
Extended battery life
