Industry Insights

Modern Thermal Management Requirements in High-Voltage EVs

As global automotive OEMs shift toward 800V super-charging platforms, battery pack thermal management has emerged as a critical safety and efficiency frontier. Traditional coolant hoses, such as EPDM, are facing limitations due to high permeation, weight, and assembly constraints. The industry's solution is the Knitted Reinforced TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) Hose.

TPV combines the processing flexibility of thermoplastics with the elastomeric performance of vulcanized rubber. By integrating high-tensile fiber knitting layers within TPV structures, these coolant hoses maintain dimensional stability, withstand operating pressures of up to 10-15 bar under continuous thermal stress, and reduce overall weight by 30-40% compared to traditional rubber components.

BAOD EXTRUSION (Jiangsu Baodie Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.) has engineered a state-of-the-art continuous co-extrusion line that integrates multi-layer TPV extrusion with online high-speed knitting technology. This system eliminates secondary processing, dramatically reducing manufacturing costs while guaranteeing high interfacial adhesion and dimensional precision.

Information Gain FAQ

Technical Q&A: TPV Battery Cooling Extrusion

Q1: What are the primary advantages of TPV over EPDM in electric vehicle battery cooling applications? +
TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) offers key performance upgrades over traditional EPDM. First, TPV density is ~20% lower, reducing hose weight. Second, TPV is fully recyclable, assisting automotive OEMs in meeting circular economy targets. Third, extrusion processing does not require energy-intensive, long curing ovens (vulcanization lines), resulting in cleaner, faster, and more energy-efficient manufacturing.
Q2: How does BAOD handle wall thickness uniformity during high-speed co-extrusion? +
Our extrusion lines integrate high-precision crosshead co-extrusion dies and an online multi-axis ultrasonic scanning gauge. This gauge measures wall thickness and concentricity in real time, feeding data directly back to the PLC system. The extruder adjust screw speed and puller tension dynamically to maintain tolerances within ±0.05 mm.
Q3: What reinforcement fibers are compatible with the in-line knitting module? +
The knitting module is highly versatile, supporting Polyester (PES), Nylon (PA6/PA66), and high-performance Aramid (Kevlar) fibers. Aramid fibers are typically used when hoses must operate under high-temperature (up to 150°C) and high-pressure (above 15 bar) configurations.
Q4: What local commissioning and training services does BAOD offer to international buyers? +
We provide a complete commissioning package. Before shipment, customers can witness virtual trials or run material tests at our facility. Post-delivery, our international technical service team assists on-site with installation, electrical connection, system calibration, and operator training to ensure rapid production readiness.
Q5: Can the TPV extrusion line also process TPU or multi-layer PA combinations? +
Yes, our system features modular extrusion units. By changing the screw design and die head tooling, the same base platform can be configured to extrude Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU) or multi-layer Polyamide (PA) smooth or corrugated tubes, offering excellent versatility for manufacturing facilities.
