Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

ALLATHERM is a Spanish company dedicated to the development of services and products for thermal management systems for a wide range of applications in the energy, scientific, telecommunication, automotive, aerospace, and defense industries. Over the last two years, ALLATHERM has developed ALTOM, a hermetically sealed closed 2-phase heat transfer loop for electronic components cooling. ALTOM will directly target EV/HEV powertrain manufacturers’ as its clients and directly solve their needs for innovative thermal management at a competitive cost. ALTOM has completed Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 stage of development. The overall aim of the project is to take it to TRL9 and to market launch by 2021.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

In this Feasibility Study, we have analyzed the implementation of ALTOM and for that we have carried out research and analyses concerning various fields: 1) Technical Feasibility Assessment, 2) Commercial Feasibility Assessment and, 4) Financial Feasibility Assessment.
Among the objectives achieved we can highlight: analysis of the latest prototypes feedback, the required future technical improvements and a structured work plan (tasks, timing, resource) to achieve them; a deeper knowledge of the market scope, needs, drivers and challenges and the competitors within it; the potential of our ALTOM, both technical and commercial; the business plan to be followed to reach the market in the next 24 months.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

ALLATHERM has taken the 2-phase spacecraft thermal control concept and brought it to terrestrial vehicles with a modular ground-breaking approach. ALTOM is an efficient (fully passive), standardised, flexible (multiple configurations), cost-effective (>400€saved per vehicle), robust (no moving parts) and non-toxic system that manages thermal control in power electronics for terrestrial applications (electric and hybrid vehicles-EV/HEVs-).
With ALTOM market launch we will contribute to the achievement of 60% emission reduction in transport within the European Union by 2050, targeted in the 2011 Transport White Paper. Moreover, ALTOM boosts Europe´s transition towards a circular economy as it is framed in the “end-of-life vehicles”, “batteries and accumulators” and “waste on electrical and electronic equipment”, encouraging global competitiveness and sustainable economic growth.
