Calyos founder, Olivier de Laet, presents at Semi-Therm's annual thermal management symposium in San Jose.
This year, at the prestigious Semi-Therm conference, Calyos stepped into the spotlight with a presentation by founder Olivier de Laet. The focus was on the robust testing and application of Loop Heat Pipes (LHPs) within challenging automotive environments - a subject of crucial relevance as the industry shifts towards more sophisticated and high power electronic systems. In addition to the insightful presentation, Calyos also featured a booth at the conference, where attendees could interact directly with not only the LHPs systems, but also MCHPs and PHPs while also having the opportunity to speak with our experts. The booth served as a practical demonstration hub, showing the technology in action and providing a hands-on experience for industry professionals, stakeholders, and media.
Olivier de Laet presented as part of Technical Track 8, focusing on Two Phase Cooling. This track is especially relevant for showcasing how passive cooling technologies like LHPs are revolutionizing thermal management in high-heat applications. His presentation underscored the practical applications of LHP systems, emphasizing their role in improving vehicle reliability and performance. The presentation detailed the extensive testing completed around Calyos' facility. These tests have convincingly demonstrated that LHP technology not only meets but exceeds the requirements for automotive applications. Unlike traditional cooling methods, which often rely on active components like pumps and fans, LHPs offer a completely passive cooling solution. This means they operate silently, require minimal maintenance, and are more reliable over the lifespan of a vehicle. For automotive applications, this translates into enhanced performance and safety, as the LHP systems can effectively manage the heat generated by critical components such as batteries and power electronics without the risk of leaks or mechanical failure.
During his talk, Olivier de Laet highlighted several case studies where LHP systems have been successfully integrated into vehicles. One notable example involved a high-performance electric vehicle where the LHP system efficiently managed the heat generated by the vehicle's compute module, ensuring optimal performance even under high load conditions. The case study showcased not only the technical feasibility but also the practical benefits, including reduced system complexity and enhanced vehicle range. Olivier also pointed out that the adoption of passive cooling systems could be a game-changer for the automotive industry, paving the way for more reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly vehicle designs that preserve energy for the powertrain - therefore maximizing range.
This presentation at the Semi-Therm conference, complemented by the interactive booth experience and detailed technical discussions, not only reinforces Calyos' position as a leader in thermal management solutions but also highlights the company's commitment to innovation and excellence in the rapidly evolving automotive sector. As the industry continues to face new challenges, Calyos remains at the forefront, delivering solutions that enhance performance, reliability, and sustainability.

Semi-ThermWhat
Calyos is one of the world's leading experts in two-phase (liquid to vapour) heat transfer technologies. Calyos has developed a number of solutions for three specific cooling applications; power electronics, processors and batteries. Calyos also develops custom solutions beyond those applications for example, engine oil heat recovery. Calyos primarily targets the E-Mobility and Computing markets, where electrification and data processing are creating ever-rising demand for new, disruptive thermal solutions.
When
Calyos was incorporated in 2014 and is a spin-off from Euro Heat Pipes (EHP) who successfully developed similar two-phase technology for the space industry. EHP was incorporated in 2001 and today holds a majority market share in the European satellite market. Airbus D&S is now the majority shareholder in EHP. Calyos has been developing the technology for ground applications. This has involved a considerable amount of research and development, including developing flat evaporators, switching the working fluid to a dielectric green refrigerant and working on real-world applications such as those mentioned above.
Where
Calyos is based in Charleroi, Belgium. Calyos operates a factory side-by-side with our engineering team at this location and currently all of Calyos' production comes from this factory. Calyos supplies its products all across the world, including Asia, North America, Europe and South America.
Who
At Calyos we are a diverse group of talented individuals galvanised by the pursuit of establishing our disruptive, sustainable technology in our target markets. Remaining curious enables continued innovation as we work together to achieve our mission.
How
Calyos is built around four core values:
1. Applied Knowledge: Our technology is worthless unless we can get in it out there in the market. We strive to apply our knowledge and experience to real world applications.
2. Better Together: We succeed together. We view everyone from our customers to our shareholders as part of our team. Without working together we are nothing.
3. Inherent Flexibility: No thermal problem is the same. Therefore we strive to build flexibility into not only our solutions but also our working practices. This allows us to evolve with the market.
4. R-R-Research: Nothing stands still. As experts in our field, we must continue to innovate. We can then return to our first point and re-apply these innovations to real world applications.
Why
Our mission is to solve the greatest thermal challenges by enabling the adoption of the best, passive two-phase cooling solutions. Ensuring and delivering a sustainable approach to thermal management in the data-driven and electrified world we are creating.
