Thermal Management Systems

The aviation industry has pinpointed the electrification of aircraft propulsive systems as a prospective avenue for reducing its carbon footprint. Nonetheless, numerous environmental and technological hurdles remain linked to this propulsion technology shift. Among these challenges, the development of lightweight and efficient thermal management systems emerges as a crucial concern, particularly in addressing the heightened heat loads expected in all-electric and hybrid-electric aircraft, in contrast to traditional propulsion architectures.

Thermal Management Products

Electric pumps, valves and impellers are indispensable components within the thermal management system of vehicles.

One of the pivotal driving forces propelling advancements in the automotive industry is the electrification of essential auxiliary components like coolant pumps, engine cooling fans, and blowers. These components assume a critically important role within the thermal management system.
