AN INTERNATIONAL MANUFACTURER OF HEAT EXCHANGERS FROM THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR HAS CHOSEN THE EV/CAB LINE FROM SECO/WARWICK FOR THE EIGHTH TIME
The first “Snake” battery coolers produced by this partner will be executed in SECO/WARWICK furnaces. This is the eighth CAB line which will operate in the Partner’s plants and the second one with a width of 2,300 mm.
This partner is an expert in components, subsystems, and system solutions for thermal management in cars. It provides energy-saving and high-performance products for regular petroleum and diesel fueled cars, as well as solutions for new electric vehicles.
“The EV/CAB line on order is designed specifically for the production of “Snake” type battery coolers. The superior heating and cooling design contributes to the final product’s exceptional quality using our unique technology that achieves excellent temperature uniformity across the width of the belt, which is the key to successful production. The fact that we are delivering the eighth furnace for controlled atmosphere brazing to this Partner is a consequence of our product quality and good cooperation,” said Piotr Skarbiński, Vice President of the Aluminum Process and CAB Business Segment in SECO/WARWICK.
Continuous brazing lines for the automotive industry
The controlled atmosphere brazing (CAB) line on order will include a convection preheating chamber, a radiation furnace and two cooling chambers. The entire system will be equipped with a dedicated control system.
Controlled Atmosphere Aluminum Brazing (CAB) is the preferred technology for aluminum heat exchanger production in the automotive industry, hence SECO/WARWICK has created a brand dedicated to this industry – EV/CAB. SECO/WARWICK sells a similar solution on the European market. This dedicated line has been tailored to the requirements of this battery cooler manufacturer.
“This cooperation opens new perspectives for the SECO/WARWICK Group development in our region. The excellent heating and cooling design contributes to perfect temperature uniformity across the 2300 mm belt width, which is the key to successful production. We have already sold over 20 such solutions in China, and the demand for them is constantly growing,” commented Liu Yedong, Managing Director of SECO/WARWICK China.
Around the world, the demand for battery coolers is increasing due to the increasing production of electric vehicles. SECO/WARWICK, a leader in CAB line production, cooperates perfectly with the automotive industry by providing solutions which support the development of electric vehicle production technology. In this way, this technology indirectly fits into the trend and obligation to reduce exhaust emissions, which in turn is a step in the right direction towards protecting the natural environment.
