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 BatteriesWhat
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.
