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.

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.
