NORTHVILLE, Mich., July 16, 2024 ~ In the ever-evolving automotive industry, innovation is crucial to support automakers in their transition towards an electrified future. Cooper Standard (NYSE: CPS), a leading supplier of automotive systems and components, has recently unveiled the first member of its new eCoFlow™ product line in order to help tackle the challenges faced by automakers in simplifying thermal management systems while also improving vehicle efficiency and range.

The eCoFlow Switch Pump, developed in collaboration with Saleri Group, combines the features of an electric water pump and an electrically driven valve into a single integrated coolant control module. This technology is scalable and can be used for all types of powertrains, making it especially useful for addressing the complex glycol thermal management needs of fully electrified or hybrid vehicles. By integrating both water pump and valve functions, this innovative solution offers automakers significant efficiency improvements, part consolidation, reduced electrical wire harnesses, and more compact packaging space.

According to Chris Couch, president of fluid handling systems and chief technology officer at Cooper Standard, the eCoFlow Switch Pump is a gamechanger that allows customers to simplify their thermal management systems while also improving overall system efficiency. He further explains that this solution can potentially reduce the need for battery cells in order to achieve the desired vehicle range, ultimately contributing to a lower carbon footprint.

One of the key benefits of the eCoFlow system is its ability to reduce complexity by eliminating pressure drop and waste commonly encountered with traditional pumps and valves. The improved design also ensures smoother transitions in flow, avoiding pressure pulsations and spikes that can result in system noise. Additionally, this system only requires a single electrical connection to manage both pumping and advanced fluid control functions, eliminating the need for multiple connectors, wire harnesses, and vehicle input/output channels. This not only simplifies installation but also reduces packaging space by approximately 50% compared to traditional components.
