In traditional vehicle architectures, multiple separate thermal components must be installed, interconnected, and regulated, each with its own wiring, controls, and sealing points. This increases space requirements, weight, and susceptibility to errors. The Heated Chiller is a system that replaces these devices, thereby reducing costs, complexity, space, and material usage. At the same time, it quickly brings batteries to their optimal temperature, ultimately ensuring longer lifespan and higher range.

3-in-1 Solution

The Heated Chiller is specifically designed to meet the thermal requirements of modern electric vehicles. It performs multiple functions, such as battery conditioning, battery cooling, and interior heating. For example, it heats the coolant to ensure an optimal battery temperature, thereby improving battery performance and lifespan. Additionally, the solution removes excess heat from the battery circuit via the cooling function, such as during fast charging or sporty driving, protecting the components from thermal overload. Moreover, it directly heats the refrigerant, enhancing the efficiency of the heat pump, particularly at low outside temperatures. (se)
