ELECTRONIC COOLANT VALVE TEST SYSTEM

Thermal management is a challenge, especially with e-mobility. Maintaining optimal temperatures in dynamic conditions is critical to the efficiency and effectiveness of batteries, motors, and inverters. The coolant valve has evolved from simple on/off to complex multi-port components, required to perform at extremes.

Ensure CV™ is a purpose-built test system with a scalable/variable number of flow measurement and control circuits (to match the number of ways or ports of the valve).

test new coolant valve

prototypes and end-of-line

The system was designed to characterize and benchmark new electronic coolant valve prototypes and validate ones at the end of the production line (internal leak with coolant, external leak with air, air-to-coolant correlation).

From the subsystems used to the support, you receive after the system is delivered, our Section ID™ database allows us to combine best practices with your specific application.

Subsystems - Fluid and Hydraulic Component Test Systems. Oil pumps, water pumps, coolant valves, etc.

Subsystems

Robust fluid conditioning subsystems, engineered for prolonged use between extremes.

Measurement - Fluid and Hydraulic Component Test Systems. Oil pumps, water pumps, coolant valves, etc.

Measurement

From simple thermostats to advanced multi-way valves. Accurately measure key parameters for auxiliary and/or advanced control valves.

Physical Interface - Fluid and Hydraulic Component Test Systems. Oil pumps, water pumps, coolant valves, etc.

Physical Interface

Coolant flex hose and flow sights available for part samples.

Control - Fluid and Hydraulic Component Test Systems. Oil pumps, water pumps, coolant valves, etc.

Control

Thinking about building a custom test machine?

It’s quicker with Section ID™.

e-Mobility has created a more diverse world of testing. These new requirements are being defined and implemented rapidly, as the race to produce electric vehicles speeds up with it. In an effort to reliably control the temperatures of EV motors, batteries, etc, the single 2-way valve just won’t cut it. Now, we are seeing the development of more advanced multi-way valves (ie. Tesla Octovalve) that contain complex electronics and circuits. ATA is prepared with a platform of pre-defined modules that you can assemble and develop test systems around building-like blocks. This allows you to begin testing faster than any custom-engineered option.

We call it Section ID™. Answer a few questions about your component, the parameters, and the test application; now your test system is defined and ready for order.
