The biennial Shanghai Auto Show once again "ignited" Shencheng in this harmonious April.
The release of new cars, the appearance of luxury cars, the help of stars, and the live broadcast of Net Red are attracting attention. However, the new technologies and new changes brought by exhibiting parts companies have made the industry and the outside world feel the rapid changes of the automotive industry.
At the auto show, Wenjun Zhu, senior manager of market communication at Dana Asia Pacific, told the China Auto News reporter that no matter what specific business, the key words of new energy, light weight, high efficiency and intelligence are all parts and components enterprises. Competing for the direction of the layout. A person in charge of BorgWarner also said that as the industry trend becomes clearer, traditional parts companies have embarked on the road to transformation.
Transformation to new energy vehicle technology
In order to keep up with the pace of leading new vehicle companies to explore new energy vehicle technology, component suppliers began to take advantage of the forward-looking layout to capture this potential market. Especially for the traditional auto parts enterprises, it is undoubtedly a new direction and new opportunity for the development of new energy vehicles.
“Electric and hybrid vehicle technology is one of the areas of focus in the “Made in China 2025†action plan. In the face of the huge new energy vehicle market, Dana has always regarded this as a strategic location.†According to Wen Junzhu, this session At the Shanghai Auto Show, Dana is proud to introduce the new Spicer® electric drive gearbox, which is designed for high-speed pure electric vehicles to provide better power performance. In addition, Dana offers a wide range of highly engineered Long® thermal management products for electric and hybrid vehicles, including aluminum integrated cooling plates to ensure the performance and reliability of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) switches.
Similarly, Honeywell, a supplier of turbochargers, has increased its investment in electric vehicle accessory products. At this year's auto show, the company focused on the development of electric supercharged, electric turbocharged, fuel cell air compressors. “70% of mild hybrid vehicles will be equipped with single or multiple pressurized systems (mechanical and electric), and the market demand for electric supercharged products will continue to grow,†said Honeywell’s head.
In addition, BorgWarner also highlighted high-end solutions for pure electric vehicle applications at the auto show. The above-mentioned person in charge of BorgWarner said that the transformation of traditional parts and components enterprises into the field of new energy vehicles is imperative. From the current situation, the development trend of hybrid and electric vehicle technology is very obvious.
Carrying efficiency and energy conservation to the end
China's automobile fuel consumption regulations are gradually aligning with the international standards. In the face of increasingly strict standards, energy-saving technologies are crucial. Some experts predict that automobile energy conservation conforms to national policy guidance and is the largest investment opportunity in the component industry. The growth rate of sub-components such as lightweight and turbocharged is expected to surpass the industry as a whole. At this year's auto show, many companies have demonstrated lightweight and engine accessory energy-saving products, which also confirmed this view.
“Lightweight technology has obvious energy-saving effect and is recognized as an inevitable choice for the industry.†The staff of Qiqi Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. told the China Automotive News that the trend of components such as body structural parts and stamping parts is lightweight. From the material point of view, composite materials of aluminum, steel and plastic will be the future development direction.
In terms of energy saving of engine accessories, WABCO and Konor also exhibited intelligent air compressors, representing the development trend of the industry. WABCO's breakthrough e-comp electric air compressor for commercial vehicles with pure electric and hybrid drives. The product has an integrated motor that provides compressed air without engine drive and is easy to install. It is said to greatly improve the operating efficiency of China's new energy commercial vehicles.
In addition, BorgWarner's recently launched mass-produced eBooster electric-driven turbocharger also compensates for the shortcomings of traditional turbocharging technology. This product makes full use of the 48 volt power supply to provide the driving force for the remaining low-end torque according to actual needs, thus avoiding obvious turbo lag. According to reports, this innovative technology can achieve fuel efficiency improvement of up to 35%.
Intelligent development in depth
Intelligence is no longer a new term in the automotive industry. Intelligent technology has been used in mass production cars for many years. But obviously, the current level of intelligence of the car is far from enough, and we are still far from the unmanned stage. As a technical responsibility of the automotive industry, it is impossible for parts companies to explore in the field of intelligence.
At the Shanghai Auto Show, Valeo first demonstrated the new Human-Computer Interface SAWA (Situational AWAreness), which truly reproduces the 360-degree real-time environment of the vehicle in a 3D movie. At the same time, four enhanced safety lighting technologies and sensor cleaning devices can significantly improve the clarity inside and outside the car.
“Visteon is committed to improving the experience of autonomous driving, including head-up display, multi-function display, and electronic entertainment system.†According to the person in charge of the booth, Visteon exhibited the latest innovative products and technologies for intelligent network-connected vehicles. Including car entertainment information system Phoenix, vehicle-level integrated domain controller - smart core and new dashboard. Phoenix, an in-car entertainment information system that allows third-party developers to create applications while providing built-in network security and online upgrades, offering many innovative features; Smart Core can independently manipulate multiple functions of embedded system-on-chip to address rising costs And the problem of the complexity of the components in the car is getting higher and higher.
When electrification, intelligence, networking and sharing have become the fresh blood of the automotive industry, the parts industry is duty-bound to shoulder the burden of transformation and upgrading. The roots can only be leafy, and only the foundation of sturdy parts technology can achieve a safer, more environmentally friendly, convenient and comfortable car. For Chinese auto parts companies, opportunities for innovation and development have arrived.
Tilting disc check valves produce slightly more pressure drop than swing check valves of the same size. These check valves have a single-piece disc without a hinge. In response to flow forces, the disc pivots about hinge pins that are located within the geometry of the disc and slightly above the center-line of the valve body. Due to the disc rotating onto the seat, the sealing surfaces must be conical. Some tilting disc check valves include a counterweight on the disc, dramatically increasing the disc stability with lower flow rates.
Tilting disc check valves were designed specifically to minimize the potential for high-energy water hammer. This objective is accomplished by locating the disc center of rotation a short distance from its pivot point, thus allowing the disc to quickly close with flow stoppage or flow reversal. Although it is best to size this valve to be fully open, the disc is reasonably stable under some less than full-open flow conditions.
