Modine introduces the EVantage line of commercial electric vehicle thermal management systems.
Modine Manufacturing Company, a U.S. thermal management company, launched its suite of EVantage Thermal Management Systems on Tuesday, used in commercial EV chassis.
Thermal management regulates the battery, traction motor, and power electronics temperatures within optimal ranges under all operating conditions and is customizable for any size chassis.
According to Modine, the first two EVantage Thermal Management Systems introduced include:
· EVantage Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS): controls the temperature range for an entire bank of batteries with a single unit using multi-stage cooling and heating while minimizing power use.
· EVantage Electronics Cooling Package (ECP): keeps the traction motor and power electronics cool for all loads. It is designed to specification, with small to large fan arrays that turn on just when needed to save energy.
With Modine’s technology, its EVantage suite maximizes cooling while minimizing power draw in a compact form factor. The thermal solutions increase commercial EV performance, longevity, and safety by regulating thermal conditions during charging and vehicle operating.
Customers can select from standard systems or custom-designed solutions to meet their cooling requirements and space constraints.
“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, VP, and GM for Advanced Thermal Systems at Modine.
She added, “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.”
