Technical Services Unveils R&D Chiller Solution at Leading EV Thermal Conference
Technical Services is launching a new R&D chiller with built-in calorimeters at the 5th Annual Automotive EV and HEV Thermal Management Conference in Munich on 12–13 February 2026, where the company is an official sponsor.
Technical Services has designed an intelligent R&D chiller which allows engineers to accurately understand the thermal management requirements of their application during the development phase. Additional sensing ensures the correct specification of the chiller for the customer’s application. It also provides valuable data on system pressures, heat rejection, and power consumption, enabling engineers to optimise their thermal management balance of plant and reduce the production bill-of-materials cost.
The new R&D chiller provides an industry-ready solution that can be leased or purchased from Technical Services.
R&D Chiller, key benefits:
- Measures engineering units, including flow, pressure, heat rejection, energy consumption, efficiency and temperature
- Provides accurate data to calculate the exact chiller size required for optimum efficiency in production
- Accelerates testing and development timelines
- Characterises systems from the onset and answers all the unknowns
- Puts engineers in control of battery systems during the design phase
- Modular approach integrates with additional cooling loops
- Eliminates time-consuming data processing, sensor validations, calibration and maintenance
The R&D chiller is supplied pre-programmed, pre-controlled, pre-harnessed, cabled and gassed. Once the fluid connection is made, it automatically characterises the system and sends data to the cloud. It measures and captures the data required to define a thermal management module for battery and HVAC systems and helps to specify the correct chiller size for the application.
Technical Services has designed the R&D chiller to take the guesswork out of chiller specification and reduce overspecification, which can be both detrimental to the product’s lifespan and add unnecessary cost. This is one module of the cooling system which is intrinsically linked to Technical Services’ pump and valve technology.
“Not knowing the correct size chiller is a common problem for engineers. For example, a 12 kW chiller might be purchased, but it may only run at 3 kW. We have used our experience to develop the R&D Chiller to provide engineers with all the answers at the beginning of a project, allowing them to go from sample to production with 100 percent reliability, saving time and money.”
The R&D Chiller will be on show for the first time at the Annual Automotive EV and HEV Thermal Management Conference. Technical Services will also provide information on its comprehensive thermal management system solutions.
