New energy-efficient cooling package is
purpose-built to minimize temperature swings and meet stringent
conductivity needs of fuel cell stacks.
RACINE,
Wis., April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As demand
for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) grows, the need for reliable and
energy-efficient thermal management solutions has never been
greater. In response to this need, Modine Manufacturing Company
(NYSE: MOD) ("Modine" or the "Company"), a diversified global
leader in thermal management technology and solutions, today
announced the launch of the EVantage™ Fuel Cell Stack Cooling
Package (FC-SCP). Joining the EVantage family of products, the
FC-SCP is purpose-built to meet unique needs and low conductivity
requirements of commercial fuel cell applications. The EVantage
FC-SCP employs Modine's patented, state-of-the-art technology to
maintain optimal temperature levels while minimizing power draw in
fuel cell propulsion systems.
The EVantage FC-SCP delivers key fuel cell thermal management
functions and features, including:
- Proprietary heat exchanger and manufacturing technologies that
deliver a flux-free heat exchanger, specialty-tested to meet
stringent fuel cell coolant loop conductivity requirements.
- A proprietary predictive cooling process using an intelligent
algorithm that predicts and minimizes temperature swings at the
fuel cell stack, extending vehicle range while maximizing
longevity.
- Waste heat recovery system with an all-aluminum
coolant-to-coolant heat exchanger for cabin heating to save on
power draw.
"Modine is dedicated to increasing the performance, durability,
and longevity of this new generation of zero-emissions vehicles,
and the new Fuel Cell Stack Cooling Package is no different," said
Gina Maria Bonini, Vice President
and General Manager, Advanced Thermal Systems at Modine. "We
designed the FC-SCP as a complete, plug-and-play system for rapid
integration into fuel cell vehicle chassis so our customers can
quickly bring their new platforms to market. As with all of our
EVantage products, we support our customers as they design,
integrate, and optimize our solutions because Modine is invested in
our customers' success."
The Fuel Cell Stack Cooling Package is the latest in a line of
EVantage product launches from Modine that meet commercial ZEVs'
thermal management needs. Modine introduced the EVantage Battery
Thermal Management System (BTMS) and Electronics Cooling Package
(ECP) products for use in all-electric commercial vehicles last
year. These systems are currently deployed in medium- and
heavy-duty trucks, school buses, transit/coach buses, fire trucks
and other specialty vehicles on the road today. Like previous
EVantage products, the FC-SCP provides all components necessary for
vehicle integration – including heat exchangers, an
energy-efficient, high-voltage fan array, a wiring harness, and a
master controller with tailored firmware – to provide complete
operation upon delivery. With this launch, Modine continues to
build on their century of vehicular thermal management experience
with advanced thermal technologies that meet emerging needs.
