Thermal control components for automotive systems
TU-POLY supplies wax thermal actuators, heating cartridges and MAP-controlled thermostats for automotive cooling systems, engine-management assemblies and HVAC modules.
Thermal actuators convert a temperature change into mechanical movement. In coolant systems, that movement can be used to control a valve or flow path.
MAP-controlled thermostat applications
A MAP-controlled thermostat combines a conventional thermostat mechanism with an electrical heating element. The vehicle controller can influence the thermostat response according to its control strategy and operating conditions.
Application requirements vary by vehicle platform. The TU-POLY Engineering Team reviews the operating medium, temperature window, electrical interface, packaging constraints and validation target with each customer.
