Eberspaecher has announced it will present solutions for thermal management with focus on electrical machinery at CONEXPO 2023. The products are designed for battery-powered construction vehicles and machines. The company will also showcase products for fuel-powered construction machines.
Xellstor Energy Management Systems
Eberspaecher has developed Xellstor energy management systems for managing power supplies. Using the Eberspaecher e-connected app, individuals can monitor battery status in realtime. This feature supports the demands of fleet management and operational readiness. Designed for situations wherein electricity is needed for mobile applications or environmental regulations prohibit fuel operated power generators, the Xellstor portfolio offers solutions for an autonomous power supply.
Concepts for Sustainable Battery Thermal Management
A vehicle-specific heat pump for both heating and cooling will be part of the portfolio on display during CONEXPO 2023. Equipped with an external exchanger as well as PTC elements, the heat pump promotes comfort and security with usage of electric energy from the vehicle’s battery. All components are part of the Eberspaecher Battery Thermal Management System BTMS. The solution has been developed for electric vehicles by combining thermal management solutions for both the cabin and the drivetrain battery.
Electrical Thermal Management Solutions
Eberspaecher offers a wide range of products for electrical thermal management. The Falkon HVAC product family provides several horizontal evaporator variants. Aside from a version for vehicles with combustion engines, there are two versions for electrical applications. The fully electrical variant EHVAC provides 7.7 kW cooling performance and heating power from 3 to 6 kW. The hybrid EHHVAC (electric-hybrid HVAC) version includes a water heater, PTC elements and air conditioning for vehicles with hybrid or electric drive. The interior is either heated with PTC elements and/or with water from the battery thermal management.
The PTCs provide safe and powerful heating with protection against overheating. In addition to the Falkon product family, the VK9 product range offers the same flexibility for vertical mounting positions. Equipped with powerful heating and cooling output, the available versions provide consistent temperatures in the driver’s cab. The electrical version VK9 EHVAC comes with a cooling performance of 6.5 kW and PTC elements with heating performance of 3 kW.
Eberspaecher Hydronic and Airtronic
Apart from electrical solutions, Eberspaecher will also showcase Airtronic and Hydronic fuel operated heaters. With the third generation of the Airtronic, Eberspaecher is relaunching its previous air heater family., The Airtronic 3 is for 2 to 8 kW performance classes. Fuel operated air heaters are capable of pre-heating the cabin even when the engine is turned off.
The Airtronic S3 Economy is designed for construction machinery. Fuel operated with diesel, the heater has a voltage of 12V or 24V and provides heating performance from 0.85 to 2.2 kW. For the gasoline version, the voltage is 12V with a heating performance of 1 to 2 kW. The Eberspaecher Hydronic is a water heater that warms cabins and a pre-heated engine. During standby mode, the water heaters can keep the engine warm. With a power range from 5 to 35 kW, Hydronic is capable of supporting different types of machinery.
