Technologies for a kind future

With the surge in the electrification of the powertrain, electrical energy storage is increasingly becoming a key technology in the drive concept.
Clear Walter focuses on the development and design of highly efficient automation technologies used in automation processes for thermal management of battery cells to ensure full performance and the required service life.

To achieve full performance and ensure the longest possible service life, it is necessary to keep the coolant temperature of the battery between approx. 15 °C and 30 °C at all times. If the temperature is too low, the coolant is warmed by a high-voltage PTC heater. Alternatively, if the temperature is too high, it is cooled down by a low-temperature cooler.

Battery Cooling

The battery is mounted on the cooling plates which, together, forms a firmly connected battery module. With direct battery cooling, the cooling plates are flushed with a refrigerant from the air conditioning system.

Electrically operated HV-PTC Heater

If the battery temperature is too low, the coolant is heated by an electric high-voltage PTC heater, which is integrated in the cooling circuit.

As a supply partner for the automotive industry, Clear Walter assists its customers in the development of highly efficient automation technologies used to find innovative solutions for automation processes to ensure more efficient air conditioning systems (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning; HVAC) in hybrid and electric vehicles.

For issues of range in relation to electric vehicles, thermal management has been the saviour of electric mobility. After the electric drive, interior air conditioning is the most energy-intensive application in vehicles. Due to the high energy requirement of interior air conditioning, the maximum operating range of a vehicle can be reduced by up to 50% in some cases.

The challenge, therefore, is the development of ideal heating and air conditioning systems for electric vehicles, which do not reduce the thermal comfort of passengers despite reduced power consumption.

As a supply partner for the automotive industry, Clear Walter assists its customers with the development and delivery of highly efficient automation technologies used for automation processes in rear light assembly lines.

Coil Fed Laser Cutting Machine

High efficient fiber laser cutting machines make their contribution to CO2 reduction by low working power, reducing material waste, increasing productivity along with reducing procurement costs of material.

Advantages:

1. Improved material quality
2. Highly flexible process
3. Improve the utilization rate of materials; Reduce procurement costs

End-of-line testers (EoL) are responsible for the manufacturing process of checking the entire functionality of the product. Under the harsh manufacturing conditions, test systems have to simulate all relevant states on the one hand and record the reactions of the test sample on the other.

Within series production, a high test throughput is a decisive factor. For this reason, test procedures developed at an early stage are optimized to achieve short cycle times.

The electromechanical design and powerful hardware/software construction are the basic requirements for an efficient EOLT.

Clear Walter develops and builds highly efficient automation technologies for tailor-made EOLTs to ensure global customer applications in different product groups with an integrated leak test if desired:

1. HVAC - Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning
2. Battery Cooler Systems
3. Lighting Systems
4. Powertrain Components
