    Case study

    Producing battery cooling lines


    for hybrid & electric vehicles
    with Rilsan® PA11
    SUMMARY CASE STUDY

    OBJECTIVES
    Still many automotive water
    cooling lines are made with rubber. INTRODUCTION
    Rubber is very flexible and can
    resist various levels of mechanical Korea has been at the forefront of the development
    stress and chemical aggressiveness of electric vehicles. For the cooling of high power
    but it is very thick (~3.5-4 mm) thus components such asbatteries and invertor-convertors
    very heavy (~250-300 g/m) and very of these HEV and EV, a complete and robust value
    cumbersome. Plastic only needs chain has been established. Boogook, Hwa-young and
    1 to 1.5 mm thickness and is thus TI Fluid Systems are among the key players in this
    much lighter (~50-80 g/m) and segment that are able to supply high performance
    easier to fit in automotive always lines. With almost 10 models of passenger cars,
    tighter spaces. For complex parts commercial trucks and buses, and many more to
    with a sufficient length to adapt
    come, more than 100,000 vehicles will be produced
    plastic’s higher stiffness, Rilsan®
    each year, representing almost 1,000,000 m of
    polyamide 11 allows to design
    plastic tubes! Plastic lines have been selected by car
    very light solutions, with high
    manufacturers in order to save cost & weight. Very
    performance & lower cost.
    satisfied with the use of Rilsan® polyamide 11 for in-
    battery application, several OEMs officially approved
    it and now intend to generalize its use to other parts
    PARTNER such as out-battery or invertor-convertor lines.

    APPLICATION
    Water cooling lines of high-voltage
    battery or AC/DC converter

    PRINTING TECHNOLOGY
    Extrusion with mechanically
    inserted (fir tree) quick connectors

    MATERIAL
    Rilsan® polyamide 11
    RILSAN® PA11

    CHALLENGE With permanent


    water coolant contact
    A demanding safety application Coolant fluids contain water (~ 50%), which leads
    to swelling & hydrolysis and thus to a risk of lower
    To ensure battery performance and durability, mechanical properties (lower stiffness, lower
    and for safety reasons, OEMs must ensure durability).
    battery temperature will not overcome 50°C.
    Battery cooling line is indeed a safety component, Long chain polyamides have superior
    submitted to many constraints: performance, Rilsan® polyamide 11 having best
    combination of low swelling and high hydrolysis
    • It is long and under resistance among aliphatic polyamides.
    constant fluid pressure (3 to 5 bars)
    › Risk of mechanical failure by fatigue or creep Furthermore, it’s important that coolant fluid is
    not polluted by the extraction of some plastic’s
    • It is exposed to aggressive chemicals components like oligomers. Rilsan® polyamide
    like road salts (containing metal chlorides) 11 has a clear advantage vs. polyamide 12 on this
    › Risk of failure by environmental stress point.
    cracking (ESC)

    • In case of plug-in hybrids, it is frequently close


    to hot sources (engine, exhaust) & in a very packed
    environment (lack of space under the hood and
    the chassis).

    Long chain polyamides have the adequate


    compromise of flexibility, robustness & chemical
    resistance, Rilsan® polyamide 11 having best
    performance combination (higher mechanical &
    thermal durability than polyamide 12, better ESC
    resistance than polyamide 612), together with
    a very good process ability (esp. compared to
    polyamide 612).
    For high environmental value vehicles
    SOLUTION
    Zero emission mileage of hybrid and electric
    vehicles is a challenge and OEMs work hard Korean market has chosen Rilsan® BESN Black
    to increase it in order to accelerate customer P123 TL for battery cooling applications. This
    acceptance of this innovative type of vehicles. polyamide 11 grade exhibits following features:
    Thus, weight reduction is a must that lead them
    to favor plastic solutions over rubber ones for long • An excellent combination of flexibility (~ 500 PPa)
    battery cooling lines. & mechanical properties (no cracks when inserted
    on connectors),
    Furthermore, more and more OEMs are looking for
    sustainable materials, which means: • An outstanding hydrolysis resistance, best
    among Rilsan® polyamide 11 portfolio,
    • A sustainable product range: Rilsan® polyamide
    11 has a 70 year legacy of outstanding properties • A unique process ability, with an especially good
    and innovation in automotive high performance melt strength that allows to produce from lower
    applications, to higher tube diameters, and a good flexibility to
    bend them easily (thermoforming, assembly…).
    • A sustainable supply chain: With upcoming
    industrial investment, Rilsan® polyamide 11 will “Rilsan® polyamide 11 was chosen by several
    soon have the only truly dual sourcing supply extruders & part designers because it has the
    chain among long chain polyamides. best combination of properties that allow to save
    weight & cost with a high safety and confidence
    • A sustainable product: 100% bio-based from level. It was indeed a natural choice versus other
    castor oil and with an outstanding life cycle materials like polyamide 12 or polyamide 612”,
    analysis profile, Rilsan® polyamide 11 has a real says Hyungmin Kim, sales and development
    environmental value. Furthermore, specific manager at Arkema Korea. His colleague Antoine
    programs also aims at certifying sustainable Goupil, R&D engineer at Arkema Korea confirms:
    castor farming (Pragati) & developing partnerships “Rilsan® polyamide 11 is less difficult to process
    for Rilsan® polyamide 11 regeneration (Virtucycle®). than polyamide 612 and has superior performance
    over polyamide 12, this material fills the needs of
    extruders, part designers & OEMs, this is why it is
    more and more widely used in Korea!”
