Thermal module

The components of the refrigerant circuit in a subsystem

Rheinmetall's Energy Recovery Systems business unit combines all of its expertise in the field of thermodynamics.

Here we offer a standardized heat pump (thermal module) for cooling the battery or air conditioning the interior, which can be adapted to your specific requirements.

We also develop customized air conditioning solutions for you.

Rheinmetall offers a new heat pump for electric vehicles as a plug-and-play solution. The compact component is completely pre-assembled and filled. The intelligent cooling and heating management of the new refrigerant system not only increases the range of vehicles and the service life of the materials, but also improves comfort for vehicle occupants.

Our system solution is designed for 400- and 800-volt applications. It delivers up to 8 kW of nominal cooling and up to 11 kW of heating power for battery and hybrid systems. As an active element in the vehicle's thermal management system, Rheinmetall's new compact heat pump ensures precise conditioning of the battery and electric motor and also controls the air conditioning in the passenger compartment.

 

We develop heat pump systems for various applications such as commercial vehicles (HD/MD), ships, boats, agricultural and construction machinery.
