Heat management for the charging infrastructure

Electric cars are often pre-conditioned before driving off and while charging at charging stations, i.e. pre-tempered, to avoid additional strain on the battery later. The optimal thermal management of an electric vehicle uses the waste heat from the battery to pre-heat the driver's cab. Our systems thus allow for reduced energy consumption for heating or cooling while driving.

Customised solutions are virtually our ‘standard’ – for example, we worked closely with a customer to develop a monitored, active heating and cooling system for an innovative battery-supported quick-charging station for electric vehicles. The system ensures that the batteries always stay at the ideal temperature both in summer and in winter to guarantee the most efficient charging process.

Innovation and control.

Thermocontrol unit for battery cells

Thermomanagement mit Steuergeräten

The thermocontrol unit plays a central role in the charging process of electric vehicles. It monitors and regulates the temperature of the battery cells to ensure optimal performance and lifespan. Precise temperature control maximises charging efficiency and minimises the risk of overheating or thermal overload.

Coolant in the secondary circuit

Kühlmittel Integration

An efficient thermal management system integrates various coolants in the secondary circuit, including oil, water or glycol. The integration of these coolants enables flexible and efficient heat dissipation from the battery cells and other critical components of the vehicle.

Software integration into the overall system

Modern thermal management systems are software-controlled. This integration enables:

  • real-time temperature monitoring and control.
  • automatic adjustment of the cooling capacity.
  • Remote maintenance and software updates for continuous optimisation and troubleshooting.

Fulfilment of the ‘Life Cycle Assessment’ and ‘Battery Pass’ requirements

Efficient thermal management solutions fulfil a wide range of environmental and sustainability requirements by increasing energy efficiency and extending battery life. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impacts over the entire life cycle, while the Battery Pass ensures the traceability and sustainability of the batteries.
