The battery is essential to operate electric vehicles. Its most important task is to provide the power levels required for driving quickly and reliably. To ensure a long battery life, it’s critical to operate it within a certain temperature range. If the operating temperature exceeds approximately +40°C, the life span is reduced drastically. Below -10° C, efficiency drops off and performance sinks. We develop HVAC systems that cover brief peak loads, excessive temperature differences between the individual cells, as well as the reality of high outdoor temperatures during the summer months. Sophisticated thermal management is our important contribution to increasing the life span of batteries and their performance.
During their service life, electric cars are often connected to charging stations, when they are able to be pre-conditioned before driving (pre-tempering), without loading the battery. An optimised thermal management for electric vehicles enables the exhaust heat from the battery to be used to pre-temper the driver’s cabin. In general, these systems aid reduced power consumption for heating or cooling while driving.
We offer tailor-made solutions for the charging infrastructure. Together with our customer Kreisel Electric GmbH & Co KG, we’re developing a monitored, active heating and cooling system for their newest product, CHIMERO, an innovative fast-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.
Aircontech is a specialist when it comes to cooling or tempering your drives. The focus is increasingly on ergonomics and comfort. We develop energy-efficient systems that enable use of exhaust heat from the drive. We combine our numerous years in the area of electric mobility with the corresponding standards of the automobile industry.
One of the main features of our systems is their simple operation. You can operate them using our control elements or directly with your own interface, since our devices are capable of CAN bus, LIN bus, and TCP/IP as needed.
Aircontech possesses the experience and award-winning solutions to implement customer-specific needs facing the thermal management. We’ve proved ourselves in this area in particular through the development of our products in the electric vehicle area. In the area of fast-charging stations, our products achieve around 30% better cooling performance. With our heating controls, electric cars can achieve a higher range than comparable products, and with an HVAC unit developed by Aircontech, we offer solutions for compact design spaces, too. With Aircontech, you’ve got an innovative and creative partner at your side who you can depend on.
