NORTHVILLE, Mich., July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the automotive industry
continues to shift to an electrified future, innovation is more
important than ever to support automakers seeking to simplify
thermal management systems while enhancing vehicle efficiency and
range. To help conquer these challenges and pave the way for an
efficient, electrified future, Cooper
Standard (NYSE: CPS) recently debuted the first member of
its new eCoFlow™ product line.
The eCoFlow Switch Pump, created in partnership with Saleri
Group, offers features of both an electric water pump and
electrically driven valve in a single integrated coolant control
module. While available for all powertrains, this scalable fluid
control technology enables fluid flow switching, splitting and
regulating especially needed to address the complex glycol thermal
management needs of fully electrified or hybrid vehicles. The
combination of water pump and valve functions is the gamechanger
that offers automakers efficiency improvements, part consolidation,
electrical wire harness reduction and reduced packaging space.
"Our eCoFlow Switch Pump is the 'first of its kind' solution
that enables customers to reduce the complexity of the thermal
management system within their vehicles while improving overall
system efficiency," said Chris
Couch, president, fluid handling systems and chief
technology officer, Cooper Standard.
"Beyond the significant system savings, our solution also provides
customers with options to potentially reduce battery cell needs for
their target vehicle range which helps improve the vehicle's
overall carbon footprint."
By reducing complexity, the eCoFlow system enhances the thermal
management system's efficiencies by eliminating the pressure drop
and waste encountered from traditional pumps and valves. The
improved design of the eCoFlow system provides smoother transitions
in flow to help avoid pressure pulsations and spikes that can lead
to system noise. A single electrical connection manages the
system's pumping and advanced fluid control functions, eliminating
the need for additional connectors, wire harnesses and vehicle
input/output channels. This functionality packages in approximately
half the space of the traditional components it replaces.
