AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TI
Fluid Systems (LSE:TIFS), a leading global supplier of automotive
fluid systems technology, has launched new fluid handling products
for thermal coolant and fuel systems on the 2021 Hyundai Santa FE
SUV hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). This Hyundai HEV application
demonstrates the company's ability to optimize systems with light
weight solutions for improved EV mode efficiency.
The majority of applications for battery, motor drive and power
electronics thermal management use complex rubber and aluminum line
assemblies for coolant thermal loops. TI Fluid Systems has
developed in-house a full range of multiple light-weight,
multi-layer nylon plastic constructs, with associated quick
connections for all vehicle operating temperatures. In this new
Hyundai Santa Fe HEV application, TI Fluid Systems has collaborated
with the OEM to fully switch the traditional chassis thermal loops
to lightweight optimized materials.
In addition to the coolant fluid carrying thermal loops, TI
Fluid Systems' Fuel Tank and Delivery Systems (FTDS) division has
launched their latest 'Light Pressurized Tank' (LPT) pressure
resistant plastic fuel tank. A HEV has a very unique function in
that the moment the electric propulsion is running, the engine
shuts off and fuel vapor builds pressure internally in the tank.
For this unique electric only mode of the vehicle's propulsion, a
pressure resistant fuel tank is required to maintain in tank
pressure and in turn extend the electric-only driving range. TI
Fluid Systems' LPT technology integrates mechanical pin columns
during the blow molding manufacturing process to stiffen the upper
and lower tank shells.
"The new Hyundai Santa Fe HEV model, and it's related SUV
platform models, demonstrates our outstanding opportunity for
increased product content per vehicle with light weight solutions
for the hybrid electric vehicle segment," stated Hans Dieltjens,
Chief Operating Officer. "TI Fluid Systems is a differentiated
supplier that can leverage our fluid know how on the new thermal
challenges of electrification."
