Marelli is working on the development of a series of solutions dedicated to electric cars to be offered to car manufacturers. The company has now announced that it has launched a new integrated thermal management module (iTMM – integrated Thermal Management Module) for battery-powered cars. According to Marelli, this new product “makes it possible to efficiently combine the various thermal circuits of the vehicle in a single component, for an extremely efficient thermal management system, capable of increasing the vehicle's autonomy, safety and flexibility”. ;".
BETTER EFFICIENCY
Technical managementit is very important on electric cars and therefore Marelli wanted to create a product that was much more; efficient and easy to integrate. Tell the company:
The optimized management of thermal energy is a key factor especially in electric vehicles, as the cooling and heating needs of the components and passengers on board require high energy consumption. To obtain greater efficiency, it is necessary to It is necessary to correctly manage and control the three systems that have the greatest impact on energy consumption: the thermal system of the electric motor, the thermal system of the battery and the thermal system of the passenger compartment.
Current electric cars are usually equipped with several heat exchangers, each with a unique function. The solution developed by Marelli, on the other hand, works in a different way.
The Marelli iTMM module manages the water-cooled heat exchangers in a modular way, such as the chiller or the water-cooled condenser, with intelligent valve management. Using a combined valve, which manages up to 6 combinations of channels, the iTMM efficiently connects the three systems, exploiting their synergies and sharing the components, for an optimized energy management.
The product created by the company makes it possible to reduce the complexity of the process. total system, while still ensuring optimal cooling of the electric motor. Furthermore, it also guarantees high safety, rapid battery recharging and maximum thermal comfort inside the cars.
The new iTMM module by Marelli is the ideal solution for the environment. it was designed to be efficient even in low temperature conditions. If combined with the heat pump, vehicle range may be reduced during the winter. increase up to 20%.
The new Marelli integrated system is characterized by a reduced number of components, with smaller dimensions and weight, to guarantee car manufacturers simplicity; of assembly inside vehicles and competitive costs.
