AUBURN HILL, Mich.,
Aug. 3,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner, a global leader
in delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions for the
vehicle market, has been awarded business with one global automaker
and one Chinese automaker to provide its advanced High-Voltage
Coolant Heater (HVCH) technology for their new electric vehicle
models. BorgWarner's 800V HVCH, which complements the
existing 400V coolant heater, features enhanced electronics and a
reliable design, laying a solid foundation for its business growth
in the future.

"We are honored to supply our innovative heater technology to
these two major automakers, further supporting our commitment to
meeting the latest clean mobility trends," said Joe Fadool, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Emissions, Thermal and Turbo Systems. "BorgWarner's
extensive range of advanced battery and cabin heater systems are
widely recognized by global OEMs for their exceptional efficiency
and performance. For example, these systems help improve the
vehicle's battery-operated range by keeping the battery temperature
at an optimal level while also increasing passenger comfort by
delivering an ideal interior climate."
BorgWarner's coolant heaters feature a compact modular design
with reduced packaging size and weight. By offering consistent
temperature distribution inside the battery pack and its cells,
these heaters can be used for improving battery energy performance
in EVs and HEVs. In addition, they allow comfortable cabin
temperatures to be generated in a short amount of time enabling a
better driving and passenger experience. With high thermal power
density and a fast response time due to their low thermal mass,
these heaters also extend pure electric driving range as they use
less power from the battery.
The HVCH uses the latest thick film element (TFE) technology,
which delivers great flexibility in terms of dimension and size of
the heating elements. Developed to meet demand for high-performance
systems that quickly generate heat, these HVCH heating elements are
immersed in coolant for efficient heat transfer. Suitable for
applications with supply voltages between 250 and 800 volts, the
HVCH offers a power range of 3 to 10 kW.
The new electric vehicle models equipped with BorgWarner's 800V
and 400V HVCH are scheduled to start production by the end of 2023
and early 2024, respectively.
