HVAC Modules
MAHLE's HVAC modules are specifically designed to meet the requirements of vehicle manufacturers. The focus on enhancing efficiency, reducing weight, minimizing pressure loss, and optimizing acoustics highlights the commitment to continuous improvement. The use of standardized components and design features ensures the development of robust and high-performance HVAC modules that offer exceptional value to the vehicles they are installed in.
Evaporators
MAHLE's flat tube evaporators stand out due to their compact and lightweight design combined with high performance. The patented BehrOxal® coating technology enhances the evaporator's durability by making it more resistant to corrosion and less prone to unpleasant odors. The hydrophilic properties of the coating enable water to run off easily, facilitating quick drying and improving overall efficiency.
Heater Cores
Behr heater cores from MAHLE are engineered to efficiently utilize the heat generated by the engine for heating the vehicle cabin. These heater cores are compact in size and have low pressure drop on both the coolant and the air side. Their precise adaptation to engine heat output ensures effective and reliable cabin heating.
Compressors
MAHLE's Compact Variable Compressors (CVC) feature cutting-edge variable displacement piston compressor technology. The swash plate simple harmonic motion mechanism enhances performance and adaptability to both pneumatic and electronic control systems. With a range of CVC options available, MAHLE ensures a tailored solution for different vehicle applications, providing efficient and effective air conditioning.
Electric Air Conditioning Compressors
For electrified vehicles, MAHLE offers ultrapowerful 800 V compressors that are crucial for cooling the battery and ensuring the longevity of the air conditioning system. These compressors facilitate fast charging and full-load operation of heavy-duty commercial vehicles, setting a new standard in electric vehicle air conditioning technology.
PTC Auxiliary Heaters
MAHLE's PTC auxiliary heaters are the perfect solution for maintaining optimal thermal comfort in vehicles with fuel-efficient engines that may lack sufficient waste heat for cabin heating. These heaters, powered by vehicle electronics, offer additional heating for cold starts and specific driving conditions, preventing fogging of windows and ensuring a cozy cabin environment.
High-Voltage PTC Heaters
Tailored for electric vehicles and hybrids, MAHLE's high-voltage PTC heaters deliver up to 7 kW of efficient heating for the cabin. In the absence of waste heat from the powertrain, these heaters ensure a comfortable climate inside the vehicle, providing a safe, compact, and energy-efficient solution to meet the heating requirements of modern electric vehicles.
Blowers
MAHLE's blower designs prioritize thermal and acoustic comfort in vehicle air conditioning systems. These blowers are designed to minimize noise levels in the cabin while maximizing airflow performance and efficiency. By balancing package space, airflow performance, and acoustics, MAHLE's blowers contribute to an enjoyable driving experience.
Cabin Filters
MAHLE's cabin filters are renowned for their low pressure loss and extended service life. The advanced filter media utilized in these filters offer superior particle filtration, capturing even the smallest particles such as soot. CareMetix® technology enhances cabin comfort by removing odors and ensuring a clean and healthy environment within the vehicle.
Condensers
MAHLE's brazed, flat tube condensers are designed for optimal heat transfer and rapid cooling of the passenger compartment. Despite their lightweight and compact design, these condensers deliver high performance by balancing heat transfer efficiency and pressure drop, providing effective cooling for vehicle air conditioning systems.
Fragrancing Systems
Addressing the growing demand for personalized vehicle experiences, MAHLE offers fragrancing systems that add a touch of luxury and comfort to the driving environment. The modular fragrance diffuser can be customized to match the design of various vehicle models, providing a unique and pleasant scent experience for occupants. With features like automatic cartridge identification and customizable fragrance options, MAHLE's fragrancing systems ensure a delightful journey for passengers.
