A premiere for battery cooling: Technotrans presents its new battery thermal management system (BTMS) zeta.trax for on-road and off-road vehicles at this year’s Busworld in Brussels, in hall 11, booth 1151c. The new unit is cybersecurity-ready, fulfilling a key requirement for the type approval of new vehicle models. Thanks to its high-voltage connection, the system enables cost and complexity reductions for vehicle manufacturers. In addition, Technotrans is showcasing energy-efficient cooling solutions for charging infrastructure.
The new zeta.trax is a solution for battery-electric applications on and off-road. Thanks to the the readiness for cybersecurity requirements the unit is according to Technotrans future-proof, taking into account upcoming legal regulations. In addition to the 24-volt DC connection, the new BTMS offers the option of direct connection to the high-voltage vehicle electrical system in the voltage range of 500 to 850 volts DC. This allows vehicle manufacturers to dispense with additional components for voltage conversion, resulting in reduced system complexity, installation space requirements, and overall costs.
The basic version of the new unit is designed for a cooling capacity of 6 kW but can be upscaled to meet higher performance requirements. Furthermore, the new cooling system is optionally available with a low global warming potential (low-GWP) refrigerant. Jan Kühne, Business Development Manager at Technotrans: “The cybersecurity architecture provides the necessary security for new type approvals. At the same time, we have designed the system to significantly reduce integration effort and costs for our customers.”
In addition, Technotrans will be demonstrating its expertise in the field of cooling systems – passive cooling, without active compression cooling – for the power electronics of various charging infrastructures at Busworld.
