Coolant water conditioning (wcs)
Modern components must perform increasingly higher power with simultaneous decreasing dimensions and are therefore supplied with liquid cooling media for heat dissipation. This has made liquid cooling irreplaceable in many areas. For most applications, the precise control of the volume flow and temperature of the cooling medium is the first priority for a safe operation. In addition to the use in the field of industrial processes, corresponding conditioning systems are also used for the validation of components in the automotive environment. As a result of the increasing hybridization of vehicles more and more water-cooled components such as electric drives and their control units are used. To validate these components, conditioning systems are needed for flexible control of volume flow and temperature. Pollux develops and builds conditioning systems optimized for the use on the test bench, to meet the sophisticated requirements in this environment. The flexible variation of the various parameters requires an extreme range of the systems. Pollux meets these requirements with in-depth engineering and state-of-the-art technologies. The conditioning systems can be optimally adapted to different media or a special component selection such as the waiver of non-ferrous metals. By the use of our model-based, non-linear control concepts and tools a fast and precise regulation of volume flow and temperature is guaranteed. Our modular system allows us to scale the conditioning systems in a wide range so that we can offer a customized solution for many operating conditions. Each single system is adjusted by our specialists on a particularly commissioning test bench and will be checked under realistic conditions after production.
