The AKG-ThermoCore integrates key cooling components into the compressor manifold, with the goal of simplifying water-glycol cooling circuits by eliminating refrigerant lines between the heat exchanger, compressor, and expansion valve.

Unicla confirmed that the integrated design of the ThermoCore System combines the main components into a single unit, creating an extremely compact refrigerant circuit for use in water-glycol Thermomanagementsystems systems.

The prototype unveiled at InnoTrans is the 8–12-kW version of the ThermoCore System. It combines a Unicla UD200 compressor with the latest generation of AKG-ThermoCore for refrigerant-to-water heat exchange and a specialized connection manifold.

The “eControl” and “eProtect” compressor firmware developed by Unicla provides comprehensive control and protection for the ThermoCore System, thereby sparing system integrators the need to develop control and safety firmware for a specific application in which the ThermoCore System is installed.

Unicla describes the technology as a challenge to the conventional design of modern water-glycol cooling circuits and emphasized that the main components are integrated and work together within a single mounting space, which results in significant space and cost savings for system designers.
