SUZHOU, China, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XD THERMAL has completed development of an integrated dual-sided liquid-cooling architecture for a European electric bus platform.
The platform's 35.3-kWh battery system combines liquid-cooled enclosures with stamped top plates, enabling heat to be managed from both sides of the battery modules. The first prototype was delivered in approximately six weeks, and the design reached production readiness within two months.By integrating cooling functions into the battery enclosure, the design reduced cooling-related components by approximately 25% and simplified several assembly steps. The multi-interface configuration also improved heat distribution across the battery system, helping maintain better lithium battery lifespan.Validating system-level sealing presented a key engineering challenge because multiple interfaces, joints and sealing paths had to be assessed together rather than as separate components. The team developed precision fixtures and conducted staged air-leak and helium-leak testing to verify overall sealing integrity and detect low-rate leakage before release.A second challenge was developing a reliable production process for the multifunctional coating system. Different surfaces required different insulating and thermal-barrier materials rather than a uniform coating. Tailored hanging and masking methods were therefore developed to maintain clear coating boundaries and consistent application across complex geometries.
