Phoenix Fluid Power is set to bring its proven fluid control technology for the electric vehicle (EV), electric aircraft (EA), battery, and inverter markets to The Battery Show South in Atlanta, Georgia, April 16-17.
To-date, Phoenix Fluid Power’s high-performance bespoke systems have been widely used to ensure the safe and precise stress and performance testing of critical components like batteries, inverters, and electric motors.
Elizabeth Noles, general manager & director of Phoenix Fluid Power, says: “Our bespoke systems have already been trusted by teams in both Formula One and Formula E, where precision, safety, and reliability are critical.
“With over 40 years of experience in fluid power across aerospace, oil and gas, and marine sectors, our engineers understand the importance of rigorous performance testing. We’ve been involved in some truly exciting fluid power projects, and I see great potential to build on our expertise — helping more companies across the value chain optimize their fluid control systems.”
Through precise management of temperature, flow rate, and pressure, Phoenix Fluid Power’s systems are designed to heat a vehicle’s battery to the optimal racing temperature, and once the race concludes, to seamlessly cool the battery down. With an accuracy within ±1°C, the systems will effortlessly cool the battery to maximize efficiency and longevity.
Phoenix Fluid Power’s technology has undergone extensive simulation and testing at its facility in Peterborough, UK, conveniently located to serve many of the world’s major motorsport teams. They guarantee durability, accuracy, and high-frequency motion across extreme temperature ranges, from -40°C to 100°C.
Phoenix Fluid Power will be at Booth 430 at the Georgia World Congress Centre (GWCC), where attendees can meet the team and view a scaled down version of its latest fluid control unit.
