IMI releases Norgren battery conditioning valve for electric vehicles

IMI Precision Engineering has released its Norgren battery conditioning valve, a three-way motorized valve that proportionally distributes coolant to ensure lithium-ion batteries are operating under optimum thermal conditions.

The IMI Norgren battery conditioning valve utilizes motorized ball valve technology and offers excellent flow characteristic with proportional diversion of coolant based on the operating conditions of the vehicle, IMI says.

Low flow resistance helps to reduce or eliminate water hammer in the system and with low energy consumption, 2.5 watts compared to 10 watts of a standard solenoid valve, the IMI Norgren battery conditioning valve has zero draw holding current to preserve power and maintain compliance with emission requirements which are very important considerations for electric vehicles.

The valve is electrochemically neutral offering corrosion-resistance and has met several compliance standards including E1 10 R –036112, ECE-R10, compliant to Daimler DC10842, Interference immunity acc. to DC10614, ISO 7637-2, and is IMDS listed, IMI says.

Developed specifically for commercial vehicle applications, the IMI Norgren battery conditioning valve has been validated and approved by several European OEMs and has been used in the market since 2006, IMI says.

The Auxiliary Axle Systems division of Hendrickson Specialty Products introduced the new HLC Series 1 Air Kits. According to Hendrickson, the new HLC Series is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the previous generation HAC Series.

Users can choose between two two different configurations: HLC-SSI, for self-steerable applications, and HLC-NSI for non-steerable applications. Hendrickson says the HLC-SSI is equipped with an electric-actuated toggle switch and possesses the ‘lift on reverse’ feature, while HLC-NSI is designed with a manual push-pull operation and is suited for applications that do not need to lift when in reverse. The company tells us both kits were tested to perform in extreme environmental conditions.
