Heat transfer technology
Slovenian company, Talum,
has leveraged its experience as
primarily an aluminum producer
to create a new brand innovation
for electric vehicles. It has created
a heat transfer plate exchanger
product called Heatraplates,
which is targeted specifi cally for
recognized use in the automotive
and marine industries for cooling
of battery packs.
Heatraplates are in demand
in situations where very high
effi ciency is required, and at
a moderate price, for the heat
transfer of plate exchangers.
These include high-effi ciency
coolers in household and
commercial refrigerators, solar
receivers (solar thermal collectors,
hybrid photovoltaic (PVT) panels),
manufacturers of sanitary heat
pumps and manufacturers of
battery packs for electric vehicles.
With its innovative approach
and state of the art production
of roll-bond aluminum fl at plate
heat exchangers, Heatraplates
represents the future of heat
exchangers for cooling and
heating of battery packs or larger
cells, as well as other electrical
components where thermal
management is required.

Talum’s production of roll-bond
Heatraplates is based on tradition
of 40 years of production and rollbonding
process evolution. Further
growth of roll-bond technology
is driven by enthusiastic young
engineers striving to push new
boundaries in environmentally
friendly energy effi cient heat
exchangers, as they face a future
forecasted to have high demands
for cooling plates as a result of
e-mobility growth.

Pioneers in waste
Transfl uid North Europe has been
the key supplier of the Geesink Norba
electric and hybrid refuse waste
trucks since 2012.
In collaboration, it designed from
scratch the fi rst li-ion powered waste
truck called V6 to reduce the weight
and to improve the payload. The
proof of this successful partnership
has led to more than 200 trucks
already supplied.
Transfl uid is supplying all
components, from the electric
motor to the charge connecting
cords, as one complete power and
drive package, and just-in-time to
the production facility located in
Emmeloord in the Netherlands.
Geesink Norba believes that by
2020 any fl eet should be able to
collect and manage more resources
totally emission free. As pioneers in
waste they have been engineering
and developing electrical and hybrid
waste management solutions since
2003. Transfl uid North Europe is
assisting them with the results and
progress they have made.

Silicone solutions for componentry
Electronic components need
protection from moisture, dust
and contaminants found in
everyday use. This protection can
be provided by using RTV (room
temperature vulcanizing) silicone
elastomers for bonding, potting,
encapsulating and coating of
sensitive electronic components.
The CHT SilSo electronics range
has outstanding high temperature
and weather resistance, in addition
to cushioning vibrations, offering
excellent electrical insulation and
heat dissipating properties.
CHT offers innovative silicone
solutions, tailored to meet the
individual requirements found
in a range of different electronic
applications. Where high power
electronic components generate
unwanted heat, CHT Silcotherm
silicones can be used to dissipate
that heat away to a suitable heat
sink. This enables the design
engineer to choose one product,
such as an adhesive for bonding
or an encapsulant for protection,
but with the additional
functionality and benefi t of
thermal transfer. The result
is longer life and improved
performance of the component.
Investment in high specifi cation
laboratories in Europe and
the USA, ensure that the
CHT technicians can focus
on developing and delivering
application-based solutions.
These electronic applications
are found within the aerospace,
LED, aviation, telecommunications
and automotive industries.
However, there is a particular
special interest in the use
of silicones to support the
development of electric vehicles
and renewable energies.
