Is the UK creating an Electric Vehicle Battery Sector?Jacqui Murray B.Sc. M.Res. MBA C.Eng. C.Env. FIMMM MWES
Jacqui Murray spent the early part of her career as an engineer in the Steel industry and is a specialist in materials engineering, regulation and transformational change. She worked on industrial environmental regulation policy for the Environment Agency and Welsh Government, crediting these experiences as teaching her how to untangle problems, policies and legislation that inhibit successful outcomes in business, Government and regulators.
She is now Deputy Director of the Faraday Battery Challenge, the UK Government’s £246 million Industrial Strategy Programme. Along with the team, they are transforming the UK into a world-leading centre for automotive battery technology.Jacqui Murray B.Sc. M.Res. MBA C.Eng. C.Env. FIMMM MWES

Novel immersion cooling fluids for electric vehicle battery thermal management
While Electric Vehicles are seeing a rapid market adoption with good driving range, faster charging time remains a challenge . The fast charging is viewed as one of the key enablers for electric vehicles (EVs) mainstream adoption . Higher voltage battery packs are being integrated by OEMs in efforts to achieve this customer expectation. Fast charging will change the usage of the electric vehicles enabling several charge and discharge cycles per hour. This will lead to a stronger heating of the cells than before, requiring improved thermal management systems. Over the last several years, dedicated projects have been created around this thermal management issue to provide both compact and high performing solutions. While the immersion cooling is still a new concept for the automotive industry, this technology has been a commercial solution for decades into other mass transportation application featuring a good lifetime and safe and more compact battery packs solution. The paper will focus on the role of the dielectric fluid that comes directly into contact with the cells to remove excessive heat generated by them. An assessment of the performance of two new fluids will be carried out for the purpose of this application to measure heat transfer coefficients.
