The Global Vehicle Inverter (GVI) delivers continuous power from 75kW to 250kW, featuring compact designs and advanced liquid cooling for optimal thermal management. Ideal for light to heavy-duty vehicles, they ensure reliable performance and easy integration.
Coolant Hoses
Parker coolant hoses are engineered for the highest standards of safety and reliability. Available in various high-grade materials, these flexible hoses offer exceptional heat and chemical resistance. They protect against aging, kinks, leaks, cracking, and ozone, maximizing performance in elevated temperatures.
Mobile Coolers
A selection of coolers of various cooling capacities such as AC/DC- or hydraulic motor-driven coolers; air oil coolers; air water / Glycol and water oil coolers.
Electronic Cooling Hoses
A light weight thermoplastic hose designed for the pressure and temperature requirements of the battery mobility market.
Heated Hose Sleeves
EVERTHAW™ hose sleeve features unmatched freeze protection in temperatures as low as -70°F/-57°C.
Temperature Sensors
IQAN-ST temperature transducers belong to the family of IQAN accessories developed to complement IQAN control systems and is a range of active temperature transducers for mobile hydraulic applications.
Thermal Management Couplings
The flat-sealing valve design reliably prevents any fluid loss and air inclusion during the coupling and uncoupling process, protecting the sensitive electronics and all electrical connections.
Hydraulic Thermal Bypass Valves
Thermal bypass valves modulate fluid temperature by shifting return line flow through the cooler, or bypassing it directly to the reservoir.
Check Valves with Thermal Relief
Poppet style check valve with thermal relieving in the reverse direction to protect the circuit from high hydraulic fluid thermal expansion pressures.
Diesel Fuel Heaters
Racor Nomad™ Diesel Fuel Heaters provide heavy-duty performance in a compact form. These electric heaters pre-heat fuel systems for quick warm-up. Coolant heat exchangers ensure full-flow heat rise, enabling diesel engines to operate efficiently in cold environments.
Coolant Filters
Parker coolant filters, including Hastings & Baldwin, are designed to remove contaminants and replenish lost protectants in engine cooling systems.
Thermal Management Applications We Support
Mining & Off-Road Machinery
Parker's thermal and power management technology offers comprehensive solutions for the complex challenges of heat management in today's mining and off-road vehicles. Optimizing thermal energy management must continue as an integral part of any vehicle development.
Trucks
Trucks move about 72% of the 18.3 billion tons of freight transported across the United States each year. Idling these vehicles to heat and cool cab/sleeper spaces improves driver comfort and safety. Parker's heavy-duty vehicle thermal management research helps cut fleet operating costs, fuel consumption, and emissions by reducing the amount of energy required to control cab temperatures.
Railway
An important aspect of reducing the stress state on the rail deals with controlling the longitudinal forces to safe levels. This is important not only to reduce the number of buckled track incidents but also to reduce the number of rail defect failures. Hence the management of thermal management becomes an important maintenance function of both heavy haul freight and high-speed passenger operations.
Bus & Coach
Thermal management systems in most bus and coach vehicles must be reliable enough to stand up to vibration, climate extremes, and physical wear and tear. Heat pipes provide reliable, durable performance, electrical isolation, and conditioning and electronic control system protection for buses around the globe, in all types of climates and weather. Parker also offers automotive system heat management solutions.
Automotive
Parker thermal management systems perform essential automotive functions, such as reducing thermal load, waste heat recovery, and heat transfer, among others. The global automotive standards have made thermal management systems a mandatory component.
Marine
Reliable cooling is a decisive factor for production, particularly in the marine industry. It is responsible for ensuring adequate temperatures in the turbine, the electronics racks and on the tool, or the machine, itself. The entire production and product life cycle of elements and machines are dependent on the efficiency of the cooling process and how it ensures ideal operating temperatures.
Electric Vehicles
The 232 million light-duty vehicles in the United States account for more than 59% percent of all transportation-related energy use. Parker’s thermal management technologies reduce the amount of energy needed for climate control in both conventional and electric-drive vehicles.
