Our main heating technologies for automotive
Battery and Coolant Thermal Management
Battery heaters
We provide technologies for direct heating, using sheets and coolant heaters, ensuring:
- Performance and longevity by maintaining operation within the optimal temperature range.
- Reduced charging times through pre-conditioning before fast-charging.
- Prevention of irreversible damage due to low temperatures.
Heaters for thermostatic valves
Using a cartridge heater on a thermostatic valve enables optimized control of the bypass circuit in hybrid combustion cars, ensuring:
- Excellent controllability of coolant flow
- Maintenance of optimal engine temperature
- Robustness, simplicity, and competitiveness of the bypass
Charging inlet heating
We provide heaters for integration into on-vehicle charging ports, utilizing flexible sheets or thermoblocks. These allow for rapid defrosting of ice films caused by overnight charging or low temperatures, ensuring:
- Reliable charging even in extreme conditions
- Quick disconnection of the charging connector
- Immediate vehicle use after overnight winter charging
Cabin comfort
Cabin heating
We provide surface heaters for cabin heating, designed for perfect application in both electric and traditional vehicles, which allow for:
- Reduced interior heating time
- Improved passenger comfort
- Reduced consumption and increased battery range
Presence sensor and steering wheel heating
Crucial in ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) contexts, this sensor combines hand-on-wheel detection with a heating function.
- Simple construction, with a single sheet that includes heating, detection, and shielding circuits.
- Provision of a system that includes control electronics.
- Signal reliability through humidity and temperature compensation.
Driver assistance systems
Camera and sensor cleaning systems
We provide heaters for systems integrated with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) technologies, designed for ice melting and maintaining lens transparency, ensuring:
- Maximum reliability and usability of ADAS systems even in extreme environmental conditions.
- Rapid defrosting, de-icing, and anti-fogging.
- Greater cleaning effectiveness and reduced consumption of cleaning fluid.
Other technologies for automotive
Liquid defrosting
We provide liquid heaters, capable of working immersed and in corrosive environments, that act rapidly in case of freezing.
- High corrosion resistance
- Maximum defrosting effectiveness as it’s immersed in the liquid
- Maximum design flexibility to adapt to any tank shape
Hydrogen vehicle systems
Heating solutions designed for application in compressed or liquid hydrogen vehicles. Resistors are used to maintain optimal pressure to ensure a constant flow of hydrogen, or to eliminate any water or ice formation.
- Installation on tanks or pipelines
- Reduced footprint
- High power density
