Cooling

MAHLE Behr Industry develops optimally coordinated cooling concepts for various vehicles, engines, transmissions, battery modules, and high-performance electronics. As a systems partner, we provide all components for customized cooling systems and ready-to-install modular solutions.

Engines, transmissions, fluid circuits, and electronic components need to be properly cooled to provide performance, environmental compatibility, and long service life. MAHLE Behr Industry develops cooling systems that are individually adapted to customer requirements, vehicle types, and high-performance electronics applications, to deliver the best possible technical and commercial solution.

Extensive product range and specific solutions
In addition to the tried and tested high-volume Behr and MAHLE technologies, MAHLE Behr Industry can also fall back on a large number of internally developed cooling technologies. With our highly qualified engineers and technicians and their wealth of industrial experience, we always succeed in making use of the technologies that are best suited to our customers' needs-selecting technologies from the pool of currently available options and thereby delivering maximum benefit. With our wide range of products and services, from different types of coolers to fans, equalizing tanks, fan drives, and battery modules, we are partner for cooling solutions that range from simple components to the most sophisticated technical solutions.

Wide range of products and services
Our services range from planning via development and production to comprehensive integration of cooling systems. Our product range consists of water coolers as well as coolant- and air-cooled charge air coolers, oil coolers for engine, gearbox, and hydraulic oil, and as well as fuel coolers, condensers, fans, and hydraulic fan drives and equalizing tanks. MAHLE Behr Industry realizes suitable solutions for every requirement profile in the form of individual components, cooling modules, or complete cooling systems. As an innovation leader in thermal management, we also integrate vehicle air conditioning interfaces in engine cooling systems.

Monoblock—compact size and with high performance
Our specific strength lies in the design and construction of ready-to-use all-inclusive aggregates. All components, such as heat exchangers, fans, electric or hydraulic fan drives, coolant pumps, equalizing tanks, and integrated sensor systems to monitor and regulate temperature, mass flow, pressure, or coolant level, are optimally coordinated. In our choice of components, we specify the optimal design for the respective application, which can range from bar & blade, tube & fin, blade & fin, and round-pipe heat exchangers to disc coolers for oil, charge air, and coolant. Whenever technically feasible, we use our patented monoblock heat exchanger. This system integrates in one cooler block two or more separate cooling circuits on the fluid side, with a continuous heat fin on the exterior. This combination delivers high performance at minimum installation space.

Efficient cooling of power electronics
The efficient cooling of power electronics components is becoming increasingly important due to, for example, the constantly increasing requirements on the power semiconductors used in the converters.

Electronic cooling

For more than ten years, we have been developing cooling systems for power electronics and manufacturing cooling boxes with refrigerant and coolant flow-through, heat sinks, and cooling plates made of aluminum in a wide range of designs for semiconductor components, using a fluxing agent-free vacuum soldering process. In addition, we provide heat exchangers for cooling electronic control cabinets.
