Calyos' micro-channel heat pipe for batteries has been implemented in a motorsport application to enable ultra-fast charging.
Calyos, a Belgian technology company focusing on a sustainable offering for thermal management within e-mobility, computing, renewable energy and specialized niches, is delighted to share that our technology has been implemented in a motorsport series.
Calyos has developed unique two-phase cooling solutions that allow component cooling using the latent heat of vaporisation. Calyos’ technology is fully passive, does not need power nor a pump to function and offers the most sustainable thermal approach. The e-mobility industry is transforming to become electrified and sustainable. The integration of Calyos technology in a electric motorsport vehicles therefore aligns well with these trends.
Over the past eight months, alongside an engineering partner, Calyos has been developing and producing a micro-channel heat pipe solution to provide enhanced cooling for the batteries during pit-stops. One of the goals of the design was to avoid integrating water cooling inside the modules, but it needed to integrate into the existing battery packs. The Calyos solution is 100% passive and uses a dielectric, green refrigerant inside to avoid any safety issues. The solution is also designed to be robust, simple and reliable, to ensure there is no mechanical damage during the race.
Here is what Antoine de Ryckel has to say about the project:
"At Calyos we a proud to have our technology installed on vehicles and being used under harsh conditions proving the value of our solution. The project was challenging, particularly in terms of timing, but together we have built a strong relationship with all stakeholders. I must give credit to both Calyos and our partner's engineering teams who worked closely together to get the project across the line and I believe this will provide a great foundation for future projects."
Antoine de Ryckel, CEO - Calyos
The technology has been successfully implemented, with over 650 pieces produced for a motorsport application and Calyos is now able to share this news having had the technology validated during the first couple of races. Calyos will continue to develop our industry relationships with the goal of providing two-phase thermal expertise, design knowledge and production capabilities.

Micro-Channel Heat Pipes for BatteriesWho We Are
Calyos is a leader in the design and manufacture of two-phase thermal management systems. Building on our heritage from Euro Heat Pipes (EHP) and their space technology expertise, we specialize in innovative cooling solutions that tackle the thermal challenges of tomorrow.
What We Do
We engineer advanced cooling technologies, including loop heat pipes, micro-channel heat pipes, and pulsating heat pipes, to optimize thermal performance across a variety of applications. Typically these include: power electronics, processors, and batteries, but we don't stop there we are continuing to develop and produce fully customizable solutions for other specific needs, for example e-motors and fuel cells.
Where We Operate
Calyos is headquartered in Charleroi, Belgium, where our engineering and production teams work side by side in a state-of-the-art facility. From this base, we serve a global clientele, providing our cutting-edge solutions across North America, Asia, Europe, and South America.
When We Started
Calyos was incorporated in 2014 as a spin-off from Euro Heat Pipes (EHP), which was established in 2001 and has become a major player in the European satellite market. Since then, Calyos has been adapting and evolving EHP's space-grade cooling technologies for terrestrial applications.
Why We Matter
Our mission is to lead the industry towards adopting the most effective and sustainable thermal management solutions. We aim to address the most pressing thermal challenges in the data-driven and electrified environments of today, leveraging passive cooling technologies to achieve superior efficiency and environmental stewardship.
How We Succeed
Our success is driven by our commitment to four core values:
1. Applied Knowledge - Transforming deep technical expertise into market-ready solutions.
2. Better Together - Emphasizing collaboration with all stakeholders to enhance our collective success.
3. Inherent Flexibility - Adapting our solutions and practices to keep pace with evolving market demands.
4. Continuous Research - Persistently innovating to maintain our leadership in thermal technology.
