NORTHVILLE, Mich., April 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the electric vehicle (EV)
market continues to evolve, automakers remain focused on improving
vehicle driving range to help address consumer adoption. Key
enablers to improving range include both lightweighting of
components as well as improving overall thermal management system
efficiency.
Highlighting how Cooper Standard
(NYSE: CPS) is addressing the evolving thermal management needs of
the automotive industry, Dr. Brian J.
Cardwell, senior director of advanced fluid handling, is
presenting "Trends and Novel Solutions for Efficient EV Glycol
Thermal Management" at the SPE's Plastics in Electric &
Autonomous Vehicles Conference in Troy,
Mich.
At 11:30 a.m. on Monday, April
8th in Conference Hall-I, Dr. Cardwell will present
solutions that address the size and complexity of glycol thermal
management systems, as well as novel integration opportunities to
deliver improvements in overall system efficiency. He will
highlight how Cooper Standard is
using advanced modeling, vertical integration and lightweight
thermoplastic materials to innovate a new family of scalable
integrated fluid coolant control products called eCoFlow™.
"Simplifying vehicle thermal management systems and improving
system efficiency are the keys to unlocking improved electric
vehicle range, while also significantly reducing the cost of the
battery," said Dr. Cardwell. "Our eCoFlow™ products significantly
simplify fluid handling systems, improving efficiency and reducing
vehicle weight to help achieve these goals."
For over 40 years, Cooper
Standard has been a leader in the development of automotive
fluid handling plastic tubes and connectors, building a reputation
of being an expert in the routing and connecting in this space.
With the more recent proliferation of EVs with lower glycol coolant
temperatures and pressures, Cooper
Standard has seized the opportunity to bring new award
winning thermoplastic tube and connection technologies to the
marketplace that enable automotive OEMs to improve vehicle range
and reduce assembly costs. The eCoFlow™ product line,
developed in partnership with Saleri (www.saleri.com), allows
Cooper Standard to deliver optimal
innovative glycol thermal management system solutions to
customers.
