In a significant milestone, Calyos Loop Heat Pipes demonstrate proven performance under varied automotive test conditions.
In the fast-evolving world of automotive technology, Calyos stands out as a beacon of innovation and efficiency. With a rich heritage rooted in space industry expertise, Calyos has been at the forefront of developing cutting-edge thermal management solutions. At the heart of our mission lies the commitment to providing viable, passive liquid cooling systems that redefine efficiency and reliability in various applications, including automotive technology. Calyos' Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) technology, known for its exceptional transportation capabilities, recently underwent rigorous testing at an Automotive OEM's proving ground. This marked a significant stride forward in demonstrating the applicability and robustness of LHP systems in the automotive sector.
Testing Real-World Scenarios
The focus of the tests were to evaluate the performance of Calyos' LHP technology for cooling an embedded computer within a vehicle. The proving ground tests, a critical step in automotive design validation, simulate real-world conditions that a vehicle would encounter during its lifecycle. The LHP system was subjected to various challenging scenarios, including acceleration, braking, incline, decline, and circuit driving. These are designed to mimic the diverse and often harsh conditions a vehicle faces on the road, making them ideal for thoroughly assessing the durability and effectiveness of new technologies.
Results from Proving Ground Tests
Calyos' LHP technology not only performed consistently across all test scenarios but also demonstrated its capability to handle the dynamic accelerations experienced with different driving conditions. This successful trial underscores the potential of LHP systems in enhancing the performance and reliability of automotive electronics, particularly in managing the heat generated by embedded computers. The success of these tests signifies a major confirmation that Loop Heat Pipes are indeed viable for automotive applications. This technology promises to deliver enhanced cooling solutions that are essential for the increasingly complex and power-intensive electronics in modern vehicles.
Heading Towards a Cooler Future
As vehicles continue to evolve, incorporating more sophisticated electronics for better performance, safety, and user experience, the need for advanced cooling solutions becomes ever more critical. Calyos' LHP technology, with its proven ability to perform under various automotive conditions, is poised to play a pivotal role in this evolution.

E-MobilityWhat
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.
