With vehicle manufacturers’ emphasis on improving efficiency, SPAL is constantly innovating to keep pace with a series of new products to supplement its offering to include brushless coolant pumps and High Voltage fans.

Developed for battery powered vehicles the new coolant pumps are smart controlled to precisely manage the flow of coolant through the radiator which is critical to the battery performance and its longevity. The new pump range comprises 6 units in 12v and 24v with 300W, 650W and 900W power settings. A very recent update is the High Voltage 800v coolant pump.

SPAL’s High Voltage (HV) brushless drive fans offer 850W and 2kW of power and if the application demands it 4kW and beyond. The fans achieve high levels of efficiency as they can be powered directly from the vehicle’s battery, eliminating the need for a DC/DC converter in the system. This solution will not only improve energy efficiency but will also contribute to bringing down overall build costs.

Why is exhibiting at Euro Bus Expo 2024 an unmissable opportunity for you?

Euro Bus Expo is the platform for manufacturers to display the latest models of buses & coaches and for SPAL to showcase its next generation of thermal management products designed for all types of propulsion from battery electric to hydrogen.
