Automotive Engine Cooling Systems - Global Sector Overview and Forecast (Q1 2022 Update)

Thermal energy flows are an important part of a vehicle’s energy balance. Even in the most advanced diesel engines, the vehicle drive uses barely one-third of the fuel energy. The task of engine cooling is to draw waste heat out of the engine in order to allow the engine to operate efficiently.

The key trends engine cooling manufacturers face are turbocharging and exhaust gas recirculation. The combination of the two will enable compliance with stricter emissions standards while offering minimum fuel consumption.

Although hybrids have not really created a substantial change in the heat transfer philosophy of the engine, it is key to know if this technology has created the need for additional product on the electronic side of the system.

Yes, there are additional cooling requirements for battery cooling and power electronics/converter cooling. Li-Ion batteries have an upper temperature limit of around 40º C. High temperatures reduce the lifetime of the battery. Under warm climate conditions the Li-Ion battery therefore has to be cooled with the aid of the air conditioning system. Converter cooling requires a coolant temperature of around 60º C. Therefore, so called low-temperature radiators are required in addition to the normal power train radiator.
