AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Aug. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner, a global leader in clean and efficient
technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles,
supplies its advanced high-voltage positive temperature coefficient
(PTC) cabin heating technology for the latest pure-electric ES8 SUV
from Chinese electric car maker NIO. The advanced heating solution
quickly warms the cabin and defrosts windows for maximum comfort
and driving visibility.

"In the booming electric vehicle (EV) market, minimizing the
impact from the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
system on the driving range of EVs has become a growing challenge,"
said Joe Fadool, President and
General Manager, BorgWarner Emissions & Thermal Systems. "At
BorgWarner, we are constantly developing innovative solutions to
increase the efficiency of modern vehicles with all kinds of
propulsion systems. We are thrilled to help NIO achieve excellent
energy management and maximize cabin comfort with our advanced PTC
cabin heating technology. We also look forward to expanding our
partnership with NIO in other segments of electric propulsion."
BorgWarner's PTC cabin heating technology features an enclosed
heater rod with a glue-free, pure mechanical press design, which
offers excellent heat transfer and reliability. Its double
insulation protection can meet 4.3 kV DC dielectric strength.
Combined, the heater rod and fin designs provide dual-zone
functionality, allowing the precise and quick delivery of
individual temperatures for the driver and passengers and
eliminating the noise and waste caused by single-zone heaters. The
cabin heating system features ceramic PTC components that
have very low electrical resistance at low temperatures,
facilitating full current flow and high heat delivery. At high
temperatures, the effect is reversed, and less heat is released by
shutting down the electricity flow due to the increased resistance
of the ceramic stones. Its robust software and hardware protection
strategy enables maximum protection against overheating,
over-current and over-voltage issues.
BorgWarner provides a broad range of products for electrically
driven vehicles, covering four of the five main technology segments
for electric propulsion – electric motors, transmissions, power
electronics and thermal management. In addition to cabin heater,
BorgWarner also supports automakers with products such as
eBooster® electrically driven compressors,
eGearDrive® transmissions, coolant heaters, auxiliary
thermal coolant pumps and high voltage hairpin (HVH) electric
motors.
