New plug-and-play systems for EV battery and
power electronics thermal management draws on the company's
100-year legacy and integrates easily into a wide range of vehicles
for land, marine, and aviation as well as stationary
applications.
RACINE,
Wis., May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To
improve commercial electric vehicle (EV) performance, range,
battery life, and safety, Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD),
a diversified global leader in thermal management technology and
solutions, today announced the general availability of its suite of
EVantage™ Thermal Management Systems for commercial EV
chassis. Leveraging more than 100 years of thermal expertise,
Modine produces complete EV thermal management systems that
regulate battery, traction motor, and power electronics
temperatures within optimal ranges under all operating conditions
and is customizable for any size chassis. The first two EVantage
Thermal Management Systems introduced today include:
- The EVantage Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS)
gives customers full control of battery temperature in all
environments, from hot summer afternoons to icy winter mornings.
With multi-stage cooling and heating, the EVantage BTMS optimizes
the temperature range for an entire bank of batteries with a single
unit while minimizing power draw.
- The EVantage Electronics Cooling Package (ECP) keeps the
traction motor and power electronics cool for all loads. This
complete solution is designed to maintain optimal fluid
temperatures for the traction motor and power electronics circuits
utilizing multi-zone cooling. EVantage ECPs are designed to
specification, with small to large fan arrays that operate only
when required to minimize power draw.
With the new EVantage BTMS and ECP, Modine provides a complete
thermal solution to its commercial, specialty, and purpose-built EV
customers, allowing their customers to focus their own engineering
resources on other value-add activities. By combining Modine's
state-of-the-art, proprietary heat exchanger technology and
tailored smart electronic products, the EVantage suite maximizes
cooling while minimizing power draw in a compact form factor. By
managing thermal conditions during charging and vehicle operation,
the thermal solutions improve commercial EV performance, longevity,
and safety. With a proprietary design to minimize power draw
during heating and cooling operations, the EVantage suite also
extends the range of commercial EVs. The EVantage Thermal
Management Systems are designed to operate as complete,
plug-and-play systems, controlled through Controller Area Network
(CAN) bus communications, and include a pre-programmed master
controller for automated operation.
"Since our first radiator system for the Model T in 1927, Modine
has pioneered heat transfer technology in the transportation
industry. As the commercial vehicle market switches to
electrification, Modine is once again at the forefront of improving
performance and safety while increasing vehicle lifespan and
range," said Gina Bonini, Vice
President and General Manager, Advanced Thermal Systems at Modine.
"By addressing our customers' ever-evolving heat load and
environmental requirements, the EVantage solutions deliver the best
possible performance for batteries and power electronics while
ensuring safer commercial EVs through intelligent management of
thermals during charging and vehicle operation."
Modine thermal management products are especially suited for
zero-emission transit-, coach- and school buses, specialty
vehicles, and trucks, including vans used in last-mile delivery.
Customers have the option to choose between standard systems or
custom-designed solutions that fit specific cooling needs and space
constraints. Modine's systems are manufactured, tested, and
designed to withstand harsh environments and are ruggedized for
high vibration uses. Modine leverages its state-of-the-art
facilities and decades of motor vehicle component testing
experience to ensure that customers can have confidence in the
performance and longevity of Modine products.
Modine is in production on several customer programs today, with
additional programs launching over the next 12 months and in active
development discussions on more than 75 customer programs. To find
