Automotive

The automotive sector is vast, encompassing not only vehicle manufacturers but also a wide network of component suppliers. The sector is therefore very diverse, and each individual entity has different needs and peculiarities.

Focusing solely on the car production process, this includes: bodywork manufacturing (pressing/moulding and welding), painting, and assembly of components (interiors, windows, tyres, etc.). Supporting this are transfer lines, inspection departments, and increasingly widespread and essential data management networks.

Throughout the production chain, there is a variety of equipment and/or robots, assembly areas with personnel and areas dedicated solely to machinery, departments with the presence of chemical agents or additives, workspaces necessarily conditioned without heat zones, or work areas with limited space or dedicated layouts.

The production process is continuous, 24/7, and high levels of reliability and energy efficiency must be guaranteed to achieve significant cost savings. Finally, given the complexity of the automotive production process, enormous amounts of data (logistics, quality, etc.) must be managed and made available in real-time.

Cosmotec offers a wide range of solutions to meet the cooling requirements of the automotive industry, from simple ventilation systems to cooling through air conditioners or heat exchangers combined with chillers and hydronic systems.

The wide range of products guarantees a broad selection based on the type of installation, available space, operating temperatures, and the quality of air in the working environment.

Appropriate and tested degrees of protection, the use of guaranteed components, and professional design ensure reliability and performance of the products. Additionally, a range of options and accessories allows for a dedicated choice for the specific type of solution required. In particular, connectivity options available for electronic controls make Cosmotec air conditioners easily integrable with data management networks. This enables comprehensive monitoring that includes cold production, which is now a critical factor for the continuity of production processes.

E-Mobility Development

The consumption of fossil fuels (diesel, gasoline, LPG, and natural gas) is one of the main sources of pollution in urban areas. For this reason, the automotive industry and energy providers are increasingly focusing on e-mobility, which, after an initial experimental phase, has now become a well-established reality.

Key Factors

The key factors for the development of e-mobility are:

• Smart Grid Integration: a combination of networks and technologies that enables the management and monitoring of electricity distribution from multiple energy sources.
• Use of energy generated from renewable sources, particularly wind and solar power.

This system requires an ever-increasing number of devices within energy stations. The higher density of electronic control components further increases thermal challenges.
Service continuity is an essential requirement, which is why components must be protected from environmental contamination and high temperatures. Cosmotec units provide cooling solutions for the various devices used in charging infrastructure and throughout the entire smart grid system.
