Thermal Management And Range: Fluid Connectors Optimize E-Mobility
Charging times and heat balance: Where is the market heading?
Across much of Europe, battery cells are still being charged overnight, while so-called “range anxiety” is keeping many electric vehicle drivers from planning long-distance trips. This is about to change. The global automotive industry is rapidly advancing technologies that enable fast and safe battery charging. Progress has been substantial – and Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is playing a key role: Its leading-edge product lines make it easy to install vibration-resistant connectors with high offset tolerances. At the same time, newly developed materials can both electrically insulate and dissipate heat. With these products, the company is solving several fundamental challenges in e-mobility: increased driving ranges, including higher battery capacities, longer battery life, ultra-fast charging, and precise thermal management.
Expanding the portfolio: Material expertise for the automotive industry
In the highly dynamic electric vehicle market, a key factor is the rapidly advancing battery technology. Leading automakers expect their suppliers to develop and test high-performance materials and products with short delivery times. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has significantly expanded its portfolio of battery components. Specific products such as prismatic battery cell caps, busbar seals and components for pressure regulation or emergency degassing enhance the efficiency and safety of modern battery systems. With its high level of materials expertise in elastomers and plastics, the company can develop precisely tailored solutions to meet the strict requirements of the automotive sector. One example: fluid connectors for thermal management, which help bridge the gap between larger battery capacities and faster charging cycles.
Smart connection: Supporting development programs and ramping up production
Jürgen Mall, Head of Product Management, Special Sealings Automotive lead center at Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, emphasizes how important it is for the components to interact perfectly with each other in order to control heat development during charging. He says: “In the field of e-mobility, we offer our customers industry-leading design and manufacturing expertise, supported by a global network of production sites. On this basis, we have our sights set on the future and look forward to presenting and advancing our latest developments with industry professionals at the Battery Show Europe.”
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies will be presenting these and other product innovations at the Battery Show Europe: Hall 10, Stand D-26
