As demand for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) grows, the need for reliable and energy-efficient thermal management solutions has never been greater. In response to this need, Modine Manufacturing Company, thermal management technology and solutions, announced the launch of the EVantage™ Fuel Cell Stack Cooling Package (FC-SCP). Joining the EVantage product family, the FC-SCP meets the needs and low conductivity requirements of commercial fuel cell applications. The EVantage FC-SCP employs Modine’s patented technology to maintain temperature levels while minimizing power draw in fuel cell propulsion systems.
EVANTAGE FC-SCP
The EVantage FC-SCP delivers key fuel cell thermal management functions and features including:
- Proprietary heat exchanger and technologies that deliver a flux-free heat exchanger, specialty-tested to meet fuel cell coolant loop conductivity requirements.
- A proprietary predictive cooling process using an intelligent algorithm that predicts and minimizes temperature swings at the fuel cell stack, extending vehicle range while maximizing longevity.
- Waste heat recovery system with an all-aluminum coolant-to-coolant heat exchanger for cabin heating to save on power draw.
“Modine is dedicated to increasing the performance, durability, and longevity of this new generation of zero-emissions vehicles, and the new Fuel Cell Stack Cooling Package is no different,” says Gina Maria Bonini, vice president and general manager, advanced thermal systems at Modine. “We designed the FC-SCP as a complete, plug-and-play system for rapid integration into fuel cell vehicle chassis so our customers can quickly bring their new platforms to market. As with all of our EVantage products, we support our customers as they design, integrate, and optimize our solutions because Modine is invested in our customers’ success.”
The Fuel Cell Stack Cooling Package is the latest EVantage product from Modine that meets commercial ZEVs’ thermal management needs. Modine introduced the EVantage Battery Thermal Management System and Electronics Cooling Package for all-electric commercial vehicle use last year. Medium- and heavy-duty trucks as well as buses, transit/coach buses, fire trucks, and other specialty vehicles currently use these systems. Like previous EVantage products, the FC-SCP provides all components necessary for vehicle integration to provide complete operation upon delivery. This includes heat exchangers and an energy-efficient, high-voltage fan array, a wiring harness, and a master controller with tailored firmware. With this launch, Modine builds on its century of vehicular thermal management experience with thermal technologies that meet emerging needs.
