Lubrication principle of new energy battery equipment

Can nano-additives improve EV lubrication?

Nano-additives, such as TiO 2 and CuO, 16 offer an interesting approach to alter the oil properties thus becoming more applicable in EVs. This article primarily seeks to compile recent advancements, notably after 2019, in battery engineering, lubricants, and lubrication techniques for EVs.

Why are lubricants important for electric cars?

In their ongoing quest for lower fuel consumption and fewer emissions, carmakers have benefited from the constant support of the lubricants industry which has naturally stepped up to the mark to propose a variety of innovations for electric vehicles.

What lubrication do EVs need?

g greases for EVs, with their associated test specifications. “Lithium-complex and urea thickeners are commonly being seen in wheel bearing applica-tions as they can meet and ex-ceed the requi ements of cur-rent wheel bearing lubrication,” Mistry says. “However, with re-quirements of higher eficiency and lower torque, the additives, polymers

Are battery fluids agile?

Battery fluids, for example, are new to the market and respond to the expansion of zero-emissions vehicles. Over and beyond their characteristics, however, it is important to understand how these brand-new products required a different, particularly agile approach to their development.

What makes a good EV lubricant?

The base oil of EV lubricants must consist of strong molecular bonds as well as offer stable viscosity at varying temperatures, high specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and exceptional cooling performance.

What is a Li-ion battery?

The energy output of the most promising battery, the Li-ion battery (LIB), must result in driving ranges, which can compete with the 600 km driving range of combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
