RIGID Cooling, a company specializing in thermal solutions, offers an innovative approach to cooling electric vehicles during charging. By utilizing vapor compressor cooling systems, RIGID provides effective thermal conditioning for the vehicle’s energy storage.
The RIGID cooling systems are versatile and can be applied in various scenarios. At a charging station, the system receives thermal information about the energy storage. It then supplies electric energy to the energy storage during a charging session. Additionally, based on the received thermal information, the system provides thermal conditioning to the energy storage throughout the charging session.
Efficient heat management is particularly crucial during fast charging processes, as the entire charging station tends to heat up significantly. To address this, RIGID offers a compact and portable liquid chiller equipped with a miniature DC compressor, evaporator, and water tank. This setup is ideal for water cooling, ensuring efficient temperature control in a convenient and space-saving manner.
Active Air Cooling To EV Battery
RIGID Micro DC Aircon revolutionizes portable air conditioning for EVs by offering the world’s smallest air conditioning module specifically designed for cooling EV battery air.
This innovative technology effectively eliminates heat from the surrounding air, which is then circulated through the system to cool down the targeted heat source. The Micro DC Aircon is particularly well-suited for critical applications where limited space and weight considerations are of utmost importance. Its compact size makes it an ideal choice for cooling in compact and confined spaces.
The DC Air conditioning systems provided by RIGID are perfectly suited for cooling large heat loads while requiring minimal system modification. The mini compressor air conditioner delivers exceptional cooling capabilities, making it an ideal solution when factors such as size, space, and efficiency are critical considerations.

More Thermal Management to EV Batteries
The RIGID liquid cooling system offers several advantages, including its compact size, lightweight construction, low voltage requirement, and ease of installation. This efficient cooling system operates by consistently circulating a low-temperature coolant, effectively dissipating a substantial amount of heat at a uniform pace. Designed specifically to complement battery systems, this type of cooling system incorporates integrated channels that facilitate the circulation of coolant around the battery.
Compared to air cooling methods, the RIGID liquid cooling system demands minimal or no auxiliary power, while its ability to absorb greater amounts of heat surpasses that of air cooling, resulting in superior overall effectiveness and heightened energy efficiency.
Furthermore, it is possible to equip each battery with a sensor that measures key parameters such as voltage, capacity, and temperature within the cell. These measurements are crucial for the battery management system, which maintains communication with the cooling system and adjusts its operations accordingly to suit the specific requirements of the situation.
