BorgWarner has announced that it will supply a major German vehicle manufacturer in Europe and the US with battery cooling plates destined for the carmaker’s next generation of electric vehicles.
A press release by the company said, “Compared to alternative solutions, the BorgWarner cooling plates provide cooling capacity in a more compact package with reduced weight and cost. The plate design also compensates for assembly tolerances.”
Joe Fadool, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Emissions, noted that the company has collaborated with this customer for more than 30 years as a technical partner, contributing to many new technologies that the customer has integrated into its vehicles.
The battery cooling plates developed by the company are extruded aluminium profiles that snake between the rows of cylindrical battery cells, conforming closely to their contours. The plates are interconnected at their ends by a pipe circulating coolant to manage the temperature of the cells.
