Passive Thermal Architecture

For India's extreme-heat battery problem

THE CHALLENGE

The Extreme Heat Reality

Extreme ambient heat across India is destroying battery infrastructure and costing industries crores annually. Current passive cooling fails at 40°C. Active cooling breaks down in remote, dusty environments. Liquid cooling adds massive overhead and maintenance that field conditions cannot sustain.

₹8–15 CR
Annual warranty replacements per major carrier — batteries degrading within 18 months of deployment.
843,000
Indian telecom towers transitioning to Li-ion, all exposed to severe ambient heat with inadequate thermal management.

THE SOLUTION

Dual-Zone Cascaded
Architecture

A fully passive cooling system delivering near-active-cooling performance. An inner-zone metal matrix absorbs cell heat laterally. A Copper separator plate isolates the inner thermal zone. An outer-zone environmental shield matrix blocks external heat. Aluminium casing radiates the remaining energy.

PROVEN PERFORMANCE

Simulation Validated

Rigorous ElmerFEM and PyBaMM multiphysics simulations prove outperformance across all critical safety and longevity parameters. The architecture survives conditions where every competitor fails.
