Calyos CTO Vincent Dupont delivers presentation outlining PHP fluid selection for automotive and aeronautics applications.
In a groundbreaking session at the European Workshop on Pulsating Heat Pipes, Calyos' Chief Technology Officer, Vincent Dupont, delivered a compelling presentation on selecting the optimal Pulsating Heat Pipe (PHP) working fluid for product development in the automotive and aeronautics sectors.
Calyos, renowned for its innovative approach in passive thermal management solutions, has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology, leveraging its origins in the space industry to adapt and thrive in ground applications. The company's mission centers around providing viable, passive liquid cooling systems, a testament to its pioneering spirit and commitment to sustainability and efficiency.
Insightful Perspectives on PHP Working Fluids
Vincent Dupont's presentation, titled "How to Choose the PHP Working Fluid During Product Development in Automotive and Aeronautics Applications," offered a deep dive into the critical considerations for fluid selection in PHPs, a technology at the forefront of thermal management. With its complex physical mechanisms involving heat transfer and fluid dynamics, PHPs represent a significant leap forward in cooling systems for high-stakes industries like automotive and aeronautics. The session highlighted the multifaceted criteria for fluid selection, including thermal conductivity, viscosity, and compatibility with PHP materials, all crucial for maximizing the efficiency and reliability of thermal management systems. Dupont's expertise highlighted the trade-offs required to tailor PHP solutions to specific application needs, emphasizing the technology's adaptability and potential for innovation.
A Convergence of Minds
Hosted by the University of Pisa's Department of Energy Systems, Territory, and Constructions Engineering (DESTEC), with scientific support from the Italian Union of Thermofluidynamics (UIT), the workshop served as a melting pot for leading scientists and engineers. The event provided a platform for sharing the latest research, fostering collaborations, and exploring the future directions of PHP technology - something Calyos intends to be a key commercial part of. Calyos was unique in the fact we are the only commercial entity to present at the conference, with all other presenters coming from Academia. This underscores the ability Calyos has in their team, most notably with our CTO Vincent Dupont and a recent new addition Naoko Iwata, who previously worked at JAXA, the Japanese space agency.
PHPs offer a promising avenue for tackling the thermal challenges in next-generation applications. Calyos focus on passive yet high-performance cooling solutions resonates with the industry's move towards more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. As Calyos continues to innovate and lead in thermal management solutions, our ever-growing experience with PHPs through our expert team will provide new offerings to our customers.

DESTECWhat
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.
