2. EV Charger Cable Cooling System


▶ Investigation of Cooling system for EV super-fast charger
- Development of a phase change cooling system using subcooled flow boiling and dielectric fluid
- When the power is increased for fast charging, the amount of heat generated increases. By developing a cooling system, charging time can be effectively reduced.
- Unlike existing air/liquid cooling methods, cooling performance is effectively improved by using boiling because of latent heat.
- Develop a cooling system that directly cools by utilizing the electrical insulation properties of dielectric fluid.

▶ Condensation heat transfer enhancement induced by surface modification (Self-Assembled monolayer) on multi copper tubes.
- An experiment to compare the heat transfer coefficients of a SAM coated copper tube and a bare copper tube.
- Unlike the existing single-tube experiment, five tubes are installed to compare heat transfer coefficients by various factors depending on the installation location.
5. BOILING AND QUENCHING


▶ Enhance stability of heat transfer by conducting boiling in CNF (Cellulose Nano Fiber).
▶ Increase CHF (Critical Heat Flux) by using CNF and surface modification during both boiling and quenching process.



▶ Examination on quenching process in solution of CNF in water
- Denser the solution of CNF in water,
