Engineered for EV Battery Thermal Management

The 5kW Battery Thermal Management System is designed for liquid-cooled electric vehicle battery platforms that require both active cooling and controlled heating.

The system integrates a refrigeration circuit, PTC heating, coolant circulation, ECU control and temperature monitoring within a compact thermal management unit. With CAN 2.0 communication and PID temperature control, it supports coordinated battery temperature management across different vehicle operating conditions.

Four operating modes — cooling, heating, self-circulation and standby — allow the system to respond to different battery thermal requirements while supporting vehicle-level control and integration.

Cooling + Heating

ACTIVE BATTERY COOLING

Battery Liquid Cooling for Electric Vehicles
During battery charging and discharging, heat is transferred from the battery cells through the battery cold plate into the coolant loop. The circulation pump moves the heated coolant to the plate heat exchanger, where the refrigeration circuit removes heat from the coolant.
The cooled fluid then returns to the battery loop, helping maintain controlled battery operating temperatures under changing vehicle loads and ambient conditions.

  • Plate Heat Exchanger
  • Active Refrigeration Cooling
  • Battery Coolant Loop Integration

BATTERY HEATING

6kW PTC Heating for Low-Temperature Operation
When battery temperature falls below the required control range, the integrated PTC heating system can provide up to 6kW of heating capacity. CAN-based control allows the heating function to operate as part of the overall battery thermal management strategy.
This cooling-and-heating architecture enables the BTMS to support battery temperature control across both hot and cold operating conditions.

How It Works

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

How Does a 5kW Battery Thermal Management System Work?

01

Battery Heat Transfer

Heat moves from battery cells to the coolant through the battery cold plate.

02

Coolant Circulation

The pump circulates heated coolant through the battery cooling loop.

03

Refrigeration Cooling

The refrigerant absorbs heat from the coolant through the plate heat exchanger.

04

Heat Rejection

The condenser releases absorbed heat to the surrounding environment.

05

PTC Heating & ECU Control

When heating is required, the PTC system operates under coordinated ECU and CAN control.

Selection Guide

Is a 5kW Battery Thermal Management System Right for Your Project?

Cooling capacity alone should not determine BTMS selection. Vehicle engineers should also evaluate battery heat load, voltage platform, coolant flow, heating requirements, installation space, ambient conditions and CAN communication requirements.

01

Cooling Load

Verify the continuous and peak thermal load of the battery pack

02

Heating Requirement

Determine whether low-temperature battery heating is required

03

Voltage Platform

Match the BTMS to the vehicle high-voltage architecture

04

Coolant Flow

Confirm coolant flow and pressure requirements

05

Installation Space

Check unit dimensions, mounting position and service access

06

CAN Integration

Define communication protocol and vehicle control requirements

If your required continuous cooling load exceeds 5kW, a higher-capacity BTMS should be evaluated.
