As demand for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) grows, the need for reliable and energy-efficient thermal management solutions has never been greater. In response to this need, Modine Manufacturing Company, a developer of thermal management technology and solutions, has launched the EVantage Fuel Cell Stack Cooling Package (FC-SCP). Joining the EVantage family of products, the FC-SCP is purpose-built to meet unique needs and low conductivity requirements of commercial fuel cell applications. The EVantage FC-SCP employs Modine’s patented, state-of-the-art technology to maintain optimal temperature levels while minimizing power draw in fuel cell propulsion systems.

The EVantage FC-SCP delivers key fuel cell thermal management functions and features, including:

• Proprietary heat exchanger and manufacturing technologies that deliver a flux-free heat exchanger, specialty-tested to meet stringent fuel cell coolant loop conductivity requirements.
• A proprietary predictive cooling process using an intelligent algorithm that predicts and minimizes temperature swings at the fuel cell stack, extending vehicle range while maximizing longevity.
• Waste heat recovery system with an all-aluminum coolant-to-coolant heat exchanger for cabin heating to save on power draw.

Modine introduced the EVantage Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) and Electronics Cooling Package (ECP) products for use in all-electric commercial vehicles last year. These systems are currently deployed in medium- and heavy-duty trucks, school buses, transit/coach buses, fire trucks and other specialty vehicles on the road today. Like previous EVantage products, the FC-SCP provides all components necessary for vehicle integration — including heat exchangers, an energy-efficient, high-voltage fan array, a wiring harness, and a master controller with tailored firmware — to provide complete operation upon delivery. With this launch, Modine continues to build on their century of vehicular thermal management experience with advanced thermal technologies that meet emerging needs.
