Vehicle Electronics

Armstrong Automotive Thermal Management Solution

Thermal gap interface for electronic circuits & components

Requirements

  • To dissipate or spread the heat generated in electronic components to heat sinks in vehicle infotainment system, charging system, cameras, radar, lighting and power control units
  • High thermal conductivity to effectively conduct heat from one surface to another
  • Stable and do not degrade over time, even at high temperatures
  • Electrically insulating or conductive as required with silicone free thermal interface materials options

Solutions

  • Process: Die cut;   Materials: Thermal interface gap pads, phase change materials, graphite sheets, thermal adhesives

Battery Pack

Armstrong Automotive battery pack heat shield

Battery pack heat shield / thermal insulation

Requirements

  • Shield battery pack from excessive heat generated by the engine and exhaust system

Solutions

  • Process: Die cut;   Materials: Nonwoven, PE foam
  • Process: Heat Press Forming;   Materials: Non-woven + PU foam sandwich material

EV Battery Module

Thermal isolators for battery cell packs

Requirements

  • Thermal insulation to separate battery cell packs and other components to reduce heat transfer between them so as to maintain the temperature of the battery cells within a desired range.
  • Include fire-blocking characteristics to minimize fire propagation in the event of a thermal runaway

Solutions

  • Process: Die cut;   Materials: PP film, PET film, ceramic papers, aerogel sheets, silicone rubber foam sheets
  • Process: Elastomer Moulding;   Materials: Silicone
  • Process: Particle Foam Moulding;   Materials: Expanded Polypropylene (EPP)

Battery cells thermal gap interface

Requirements

  • High thermal conductivity with minimal thermal impedance to dissipate or spread heat generated in battery cells to cooling systems.
  • Chemically stable and not react with the battery cell materials or other materials in the system.
  • Durable and able to withstand the harsh operating conditions of an EV battery system, such as high temperatures, vibration, and thermal cycling.
  • Non-flammable, non-toxic, and should not release any harmful gases or particles during operation

Solutions

  • Process: Die cut;   Materials: Thermal interface gap pads, phase change materials, graphite sheets, thermal adhesives
