New energy vehicle black technology Superfast charging experience One kilometer per second
With the continuous development of charging technology, how to improve the charging experience, all major companies have mentioned the concept of full charging in ten minutes. “Charging for 5 minutes, 300 kilometers of endurance” has now become a reality. Huawei’s super charging has proposed a charging experience of one kilometer per second. The emergence of these goals is actually to effectively solve the “slow charging” of new energy vehicles and meet the needs of car owners and the sense of quick experience. This is also the goal pursued by many car companies. Recently, a black technology for electric vehicle charging has appeared on the market, and the emergence of liquid cooled DC/EV charging cable has provided unlimited possibilities for achieving charging of one kilometer per second.
The core advantage of liquid cooled charging gun cables
The core advantage of liquid cooled charging gun cables lies in their efficient heat dissipation capabilities. Compared with traditional air-cooled systems, liquid cooled systems quickly absorb and conduct heat through circulating coolant. This direct heat exchange method is more efficient than air-cooled technology that relies on air convection, and can reduce the temperature to a safe range in a shorter time. Therefore, even in the high-load fast charging process, the liquid cooled charging gun can maintain a low temperature rise and ensure the stable operation of the charging facilities. And the rapid heat dissipation characteristics of the liquid cooled charging gun significantly improve the safety of the charging process. Overheating is one of the main factors leading to electric vehicle charging accidents. Especially when charging with high current, components such as cables and connectors are easily damaged due to excessive temperature, and even cause fires. liquid cooled charging gun cables greatly reduce the risk of failure of these components due to overheating through effective temperature control management.
Today, TST cables’ article will take you to understand the technology of liquid cooled supercharging cables and analyze its market status and future trends, hoping to give some inspiration and help to those who are interested

liquid cooled charging pile cable technology overview
liquid cooled charging pile cable is a cable that uses liquid cooling technology and is specially designed for high-power electric vehicle (EV) fast charging systems. This cable effectively manages the heat of the cable during high current transmission through an internal liquid circulation system, avoiding overheating and the resulting safety issues, while also improving charging efficiency.
Technical principle of liquid cooled charging pile cable for electric vehicles
The liquid cooled charging pile cable contains a closed liquid cooling circulation system, which consists of coolant, circulation pipes, pumps and heat exchangers. When the current passes through the cable, the heat generated is quickly absorbed by the coolant, and then the heat is taken away by the circulation system to keep the cable within a safe operating temperature range.
