Thermal Management for High-Speed Tires

A wheel hub with an integrated cooling system to dissipate heat generated by the wheel hub and tires during braking and driving. The hub has a heat dissipation column connected to a thermal conductive sheet on the outer wall of the bead seat. Coolant flows through pipes inside the hub body to cool the wheel hub. A clip fixes the thermal conductive sheet and column to the hub for closer contact. Multiple columns spread heat over a larger area for better dissipation. The hub body also has water inlets and outlets for filling and draining the coolant.

A built-in tire radiator structure to dissipate internal tire heat and improve tire lifespan. The radiator is integrated into the tire during manufacturing using liquid rubber. It transfers the internal tire heat to the outside through high thermal conductivity materials like metals, polymers, or carbon fibers. This reduces the internal tire temperature and extends tire life. The radiator also provides benefits like increased rigidity, load capacity, protection for the sidewall, and expanded material options.

Heat sink for tires that dissipates heat from the shoulder area while also protecting the shoulder and sidewall from impact. The heat sink is a plate with a first surface attached to the tire shoulder and a second surface with heat dissipation features. It fits into a recess in the shoulder. The plate has a protrusion on one side that mates with a concave portion on an adjacent heat sink to connect them. This allows multiple heat sinks to be chained together in the tire shoulder.
