Proportional valve (3-way) Multi-way valve (5-way)

・Reduce PTC Heater ・ 2 x 3-way valve ⇒ 1 multi-way valve
・Good controllability ・Reduce hose (flexibility in assembly)
・Reduce weight ・Good controllability
・Reduce system cost ・Reduce weight
・Reduce system cost

Proportional MCV-e can contribute battery consumption

Multi-way MCV-e can contribute coolant circuit simplification

3. MCV-e concept / structure
<Concept> Developing multi-way valve to meet the needs of vehicle systems,
such as high flow rate and low leakage

High accuracy actuator Items Measures

(Apply stepping motor) Housing and flow pass
Flow rate ・Housing volume and flow path setting corresponding to
the flow rate required for battery cooling
Disc valve
Low
Housing ・High-precision surface seal achieves low valve leakage
leakage
during forward and reverse pressure*
Disc valve
Multi-way ・5-way valve by setting through hole and internal passage
valve Flow pattern switching
In ・Flexible flow pattern can be designed with one valve
Disc valve
Driven side Electromechanical actuator with LIN communication
Out OBD/
・Detect temperature, voltage, motor step-out abnormality, etc.
Diagnosis
Out and notify ECU
Out
High accuracy
Stepping motor＋High gear ratio
flow rate control
In ・High flow resolution (< 0.07L/min/(=+/-0.05deg) / 1step)
(Proportional)
Fixed side * Forward pressure: The pressure on the upper side of disc is larger than the lower side.
<Patented>
Reverse pressure: The pressure on the lower side of disc is larger than the upper side.

Achieve system needs with a multi-mode control by disc valve

5. MCV-e benefits

＜External view＞ Electromechanical actuator

・Supports diagnostics (Detects electrical abnormalities)
・Self-locking of the worm gear keeps the opening position without energization
・Operation at low NV

Fastening flange
・ Supports modularization by changing the fastening part

Disc valve
・Flexible flow pattern can be designed with one valve
・High-precision sealing surface reduces internal leakage and
contributes to reduction of power consumption
・Fail-safe support by linking actuators

System analysis
・ Design optimization based on analysis of water circuit system

Equipped with the functions required for BEV coolant circuits,

optimized according to the required application
