Summary

Battery electric vehicle (BEV) architectures are placing increasing demands on thermal management systems, requiring higher efficiency, faster response, and reduced packaging complexity. While integration has been present in internal combustion engine (ICE) thermal architectures — for example, through combined pump–valve — the shift to electrified powertrains has amplified its value and necessity. ICE-based integration examples will be shown to illustrate how these concepts provide a foundation for next-generation solutions.

Integrated thermal management modules (ITMMs) offer a pathway to consolidate coolant distribution, pumping, multi-port valving, and heat exchange within a single compact unit. This paper presents recent development work at Saleri on next-generation ITMM designs, aimed at reducing total system mass (dry and wet) by 20–30% and lowering hydraulic pressure drops through optimized internal routing. Bench and vehicle-level validation results are discussed, highlighting improvements in coolant loop efficiency, package volume reduction, and thermal load balancing across multiple BEV platforms.
