Specialized e-fluids play a key role in electric drives. Whereas ICE drives only need a water pump and a radiator, modern electric powertrains require complex thermal management systems. Using immersive cooling with ultra-low viscosity e-fluids, developers can achieve highly integrated, highly efficient 3-in-1 e-drives. All these topics, with their many facets, are well worth exploring…
