Automotive / E-Mobility

Automotive & E-Mobility

The automotive sector is vast, encompassing not only vehicle manufacturers but also a wide range of component companies. Therefore, the sector is highly diverse, with each entity having different needs and peculiarities.

Focusing solely on the car production process, it includes: body manufacturing (pressing/molding and welding), painting, assembly of components (interiors, windows, tires, etc.). Supporting this process are transfer lines, quality control departments, and indispensable data management networks becoming increasingly pervasive.

Throughout the production chain, there are diverse equipment and/or robots, assembly areas with personnel, and areas dedicated solely to machinery, departments with chemical agents or additives, conditioned workspaces devoid of heat zones, or areas with limited space or dedicated layouts.

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

Cosmotec offers diversified solutions to meet the cooling demand in the automotive sector, ranging from ventilation alone to cooling through air conditioners or heat exchangers combined with chillers and hydronic systems.

The wide range of products ensures a vast selection based on the type of installation, available space, operating temperatures, and air quality 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, petrol, LPG, methane) is one of the main factors in pollution in urban areas. This is why the automotive industry and energy suppliers are now oriented towards e-mobility, which, after passing through an initial experimental phase, is now a solid reality.

Key factors

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

integration with smart grids: a set of networks and technologies that enable the management and monitoring of the distribution of electricity from different sources.
use of energy produced from renewable sources, especially wind and solar power

This system requires an increasing number of devices in the energy stations. The increased density of electronic control components exacerbates the conditions from a thermal point of view.
Continuity of service is a must, which is why it is necessary to protect components from environmental pollution and high temperatures. Cosmotec units provide cooling solutions for the various devices in the charging infrastructure and the entire smart grid system.
