Dana Wins Innovation Award for Thermal Management Technology

At the 11th International Automotive Congress which was held in Shanghai,  China, Dana received an Automotive Innovation Technology Award. The company received the award for its insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) cooling solutions, Long ThermaTEK.

According to Dana, the award recognizes the high standards Dana has achieved in creating and promoting advanced technologies which can be used to improve the performance of automotive applications.

Dwayne Matthews, president of Dana Power Technologies said that the award attests to the company’s superior expertise in thermal-management technology and its strong focus on supplying cutting-edge technologies for electric and hybrid vehicles. He said that China continues to be a strong growth market for vehicle electrification.

Dana’s IGBT cooler is essentially a two-sided aluminum cooling technology that raises the heat transfer of power inverter devices through its flat, clean, and flux-free qualities. The technology makes it possible for hybrid and electric vehicles to achieve consistent operation and long-lasting performance by using a compact, lightweight, and cost-effective design to manage optimal system temperatures.

Earlier in 2018, Dana was also recognized as the 2018 Outstanding Power Electronics Solution Provider for its IGBT cooling technology at the 10th Annual Green Vehicle Convention in China.
