Ahlstrom-Munksjö has launched FiltEV, its range of high performance filtration materials for electric vehicles. The FiltEV range includes materials for cabin air, transmission and battery cooling.
Cabin air quality is an increasingly important factor in the design of the new generations of vehicles. By filtering particles, microorganisms and harmful gases, air filters create a healthier cabin environment and improve the driving comfort. Ahlstrom-Munksjö provides the following materials for cabin air filters in electric vehicles:
• Particulate portfolio: protecting against coarse, fine and ultrafine particles, including bacteria and viruses
• Carbon portfolio: combining removal of particles and gases for an increased level of protection
The cleanliness of the oil is an increasingly important factor in the performance, reliability and life time of the modern transmission systems and the new propulsion solutions for electric vehicles. Ahlstrom-Munksjö provides the following range of materials for suction and pressure transmission filters which meet OEM requirements:
• Premium glass microfiber media with optional protective scrims for high efficiency filtration solutions
• Proprietary full synthetic 3-layer media with high durability and a wide range of efficiency covering most filtration requirements
Effectiveness and lifetime of battery pack, fuel cell units and e-motors in electric vehicles highly depends on the ability to keep them in a narrow temperature window whatever the conditions of use. Ahlstrom-Munksjö provides the following materials for cooling air and liquids which guarantee a smooth and safe operation of the thermal management unit:
• High permeability air filtration media preventing wear and clogging of the system by particles
• Proprietary full synthetic 3-layer media with a wide range of efficiency covering most cooling oil filtration requirements.
