This thesis aims to systematically explore innovative alternatives to conventional automotive cooling systems. The thesis will include a structured state-of-the-art review of emerging thermal management technologies such as immersion cooling, two-phase cooling, and high-performance heat exchangers. The study will evaluate technological feasibility, thermal performance, scalability, packaging constraints, sustainability implications, and cost competitiveness. A comparative framework will be developed to assess readiness levels and integration potential in future vehicle platforms.
The thesis will be performed in cooperation with an automotive manufacturer, ensuring alignment with industrial constraints and strategic technology scouting objectives.
