For others it is at least an important component of a drive mix which is environmentally Energy efficiency + 4 Gradient structure and drainage grid friendly. MANN+HUMMEL is open to all options and selectively develops for low differential pressure products which support emission-free mobility. Structure of the new filter media class MULTIGRADE eM with drainage grid Heat is also the core issue with fuel cell electric vehicles. In contrast The MULTIGRADE eM-CW filter media class is also efficient when to batteries, fuel cells are not used for energy storage, but for the used for the filtration of water-based cooling liquids which find purpose of conversion. The energy is created through the reaction application in the thermal management of fuel cell packs. Due to of hydrogen carried in the fuel cell tank with atmospheric oxygen. the fact that flow rates of up to 15,000 liters per hour are required Water vapor forms through catalysis. In this process, energy and for the purpose of cooling, the filter element has to be stable under also heat is generated. It is possible to extract the heat from pressure and also designed to reduce differential pressure. A Even though more and more European and Asian countries have battery packs and fuel cell packs by means of indirect cooling stainless steel grid ensures that the filter element is characterized announced their plans to slowly phase out combustion engines, m] 200 realized with cooling channels filled with a mixture of water and by excellent mechanical stability. The selection of appropriate µ there remains uncertainty about the alternatives. In addition to the glycol. However, it is also possible to directly cool individual materials for all components reduces the washing out of ions purely battery-powered approach, there are also electric hybrid battery cells using non-conductive media. In this respect, specially (dissociation or ion discharge) to a minimum and therefore helps 150 concepts such as 48 volt hybrids, mild hybrids and full hybrids, developed cooling oils can ensure uniform heat dissipation. to protect the fuel cell against a loss in performance. The which are included in the focus of the development activities of For both methods it is essential to make sure that particles in the MULTIGRADE eM-CW 180 separates 99 percent of all particles vehicle manufacturers. In purely battery electric vehicles (BEV) the 100 cooling liquid do not block the fine cooling channels, or contribute from the size of 180 micrometers. drive energy is derived from the battery cells carried on-board, to increased wear of the pump. whereas with fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) the drive energy is 50 generated on-board from hydrogen. Both approaches have one Designed to reduce differential pressure Challenges and success thing in common: they require customized solutions for the The MULTIGRADE eM-CO filter media developed by MANN+HUMMEL In order to bring these new, pioneering filtration solutions to the market, 0 respective requirements with regard to thermal management and [ particle size at efficiency % filtration 99.5 especially for use in battery electric vehicles meets the require- new test benches have to be set up and new test methods have to be the efficient filtration of cooling circuits.
