fetu pump: improving tHERMal managEment of zero emiSsion ev's (HERMES)

电动和混合动力传动系统需要大量的电动泵，因为它们用于在热管理系统中循环介质，特别是冷却剂和制冷剂。这是电动汽车传动系中最大的寄生电力消耗之一。这项为期12个月的可行性研究将与Avid Technology合作，测试Fetu‘Roticating’概念作为冷却剂和制冷剂泵的可行性。该项目的目标是确定Fetu泵的性能和效率，确定它是否改善了当前技术水平的性能。改善热管理对电动汽车和混合动力汽车都有重大好处；它可能会增加车辆的电池续航里程，取代对更大电池的需求，从而对环境产生优势，最关键的是，使电动汽车更容易为用户所接受和负担，提高电动/混合动力汽车的普及程度。

Electric and Hybrid drivetrains require numerous electric pumps, as they are used to circulate media particularly coolant and refrigerant within the thermal management system. This is one of the largest parasitic power consumers in the EV drivetrain. This 12-month feasibility study, in collaboration with AVID Technology, will test the viability of the FeTu 'Roticulating' concept as a coolant and refrigerant pump. The objective of the project is to determine the performance and efficiency of the FeTu pump, ascertaining if it improves upon the performance of current state of the art. Improving thermal management offers significant benefits to both electric and hybrid vehicles; it could potentially increase the battery range of the vehicle, displace the need for bigger batteries offering advantages to the environment and most critically making electrified-vehicles more accessible and affordable to users improving the uptake of electric/hybrid vehicles.
