Efficient Fuel Management Systems
Mahle Thermal Management offers cutting-edge fuel management solutions for commercial vehicles, focusing on filtration and water disposal. The evolving trend towards a universal 'world engine' poses significant technical challenges, with varying biofuel content and fuel quality across regions. To address this, Mahle's fuel filter modules efficiently prepare diesel fuels for combustion using high-separation filter media and advanced functionality. These modules can cool or heat fuel and effectively separate water content, catering to the diverse requirements of modern diesel engines.
Water Separation Systems for Optimal Performance
The utilization of common rail injection systems in modern diesel engines necessitates effective water separation due to their sensitivity to solid particles and water-contaminated fuel. Mahle's fuel management systems ensure optimal contaminant and water separation, crucial for compliance with stringent emissions standards. The automatic or manual drainage of separated water in fuel filters is a key feature, enhancing the overall efficiency of the system.
Innovative Electrical Heaters and Water Level Sensors
Mahle's electrical heaters offer tailored solutions for cold starts and operation at low temperatures. These heaters boast low pressure loss, robust design, energy efficiency, and high performance. Additionally, water level sensors in fuel filter modules prevent excess liquid accumulation, featuring non-metal conductive elements to mitigate electrolysis issues. The broad voltage range makes these sensors versatile for various applications.
CleanLine Prefilters for Enhanced Fuel Quality
The CleanLine prefilter family by Mahle is designed for regions with subpar fuel quality, offering modular solutions with single or multistage water separation options. These prefilters can be customized with additional features like hand pumps, sensors, and manual/automatic water disposal mechanisms. The versatile design addresses the specific challenges faced in countries with low-quality fuels, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for commercial vehicle engines.
Ion Exchangers for Fuel Cell Vehicles
Mahle's advanced ion exchangers cater to fuel cell vehicles, lowering the coolant conductivity to meet stringent requirements. These second-generation ion exchangers play a vital role in safeguarding fuel cell stacks against short circuits caused by conductive coolant. By regulating the coolant's conductivity levels, Mahle ensures the longevity and efficiency of fuel cell vehicles, enhancing overall performance and reliability in the transportation sector.
