Electric Ship Batteries Promise Compact, Cooler Power
Summary
IEEE Spectrum reports on Xing Mobility’s Immersio CTP immersion-cooled ship battery approach, which aims to significantly boost energy density for marine use. The piece highlights lab-based energy density figures, heat-management advantages of immersion cooling, safety testing plans (IEC 62619) and potential DNv certification, and questions around real-world longevity and flammability of the coolant, with early deployments on smaller vessels.
