Thermal Management Conference Session with Kevin Porter

Tecman's Technical Director to speak at Vehicle Electrification and Battery Cells & Systems Expo 2024

Kevin Porter, Technical Director, is speaking at Battery Cells and Systems Expo 2024

As the world steadily transitions towards sustainable transportation, the role of electric vehicles (EVs) in shaping the automotive landscape has become increasingly prominent. With Tecman at the forefront of advanced thermal management technology, Kevin Porter, Technical Director, will be sharing his expertise and insights at the upcoming Vehicle Electrification and Battery Cells & Systems Expo on May 16th, 2024, at the NEC Birmingham, UK.

As a pioneer in the field of advanced material conversion and end-to-end manufacturing solutions, Kevin will share insights into the crucial aspect of thermal management in EVs, including thermal runaway protection technology that prevents thermal runaway and the impact on battery safety, performance, and longevity.

Integrating advanced thermal cell barriers to prevent thermal runaway and enhance performance

With over two decades of experience in his field of expertise, Kevin has demonstrated a remarkable ability to drive innovation and address industry challenges effectively. Under his leadership, Tecman has emerged as a leading innovator in battery cell thermal management, offering cutting-edge solutions (for example advanced thermal runaway barriers) that optimise performance and extend cell life.

Kevin's conference session, titled 'Delivering Cost-Effective Thermal Cell Barriers for Safer, Higher Performance Batteries,' will delve into the critical aspect of thermal management in EVs, focusing on its profound impact on battery safety, performance, and longevity. Central to Kevin's session is the exploration of advanced thermal cell barriers as a game-changing solution for OEMs seeking to navigate the complex terrain of EV thermal management. 

Drawing upon his wealth of experience and real-life examples, Kevin will demonstrate how these barriers can help overcome common challenges, such as thermal runaway protection to prevent thermal propagation in a thermal runaway event, while adhering to realistic cost parameters. This session will provide invaluable insights into the intricate interplay between thermal cell barriers, battery cell design, and other crucial factors that shape the EV landscape.
