Novel, Powerful, Lightweight, Compact, Multifunctional, Design-Free, Integrable Cooling Systems

Eugen Pfeifer, AUTOMOTEAM PFEIFER

**Presentation only in German language** Open-pore aluminium chill casting is an established, sustainable series technology. The new class of materials with new mechanical, thermal, acoustic and other properties defines the next evolutionary stage in the development of new types of thermal components and systems with many new potentials that cannot be realised with other technologies. Hundreds of possible material variants, new phenomena of heat and mass transfer, novel mono-material hybrids and multi-material systems, modified material properties and previously unthinkable design possibilities form a completely new world for strategic product development. The world`s first feasibility study will be presented. It showing the substitution of a conventional heat sink for power electronics with a system that is up to 70% smaller and up to 70% lighter. There is also an outlook on new potential for heat exchangers, heat accumulators, thermally conductive plastic parts and other components. Customer feedbacks "The idea of having a heat sink the size of a bar of chocolate is really very tempting. We want to order samples“. / CEO, Manufacturer power electronics. „We have completed the tests. The results are promising“. / R&D Manufacturer power electronics. "We see an opportunity to strategically open up new markets with our products" / CTO, Heat exchanger manufacturer. www.porecool.com
