MESA, Arizona, Oct. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SANHUA Automotive was proud to be a major industry sponsor of this year's Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Thermal Management System Symposium which was held in Mesa, Arizona on October 18th, 19th & 20th.

As experts in thermal management, this sponsorship exhibits SANHUA Automotive's commitment to develop products that offer enhanced fuel economy savings for conventional vehicles and opportunities for increased mileage range in EV and hybrid vehicles. The all-new SANHUA Automotive thermal product portfolio supported the symposium's theme ofhow to handle vehicle heating and cooling in the advent of new vehicle powertrains in hybrid, electric and fuel cell vehicles. This paramount issue in the mobility industry requires new concepts to provide all-new thermal management systems, including new component designs, to provide heating & cooling of the passenger compartment and EV battery systems.

As an example, SANHUA Automotive has developed a new innovative electronically controlled air conditioning valve. The revolutionary, new Electronic eXpansion Valve (EXV) allows for quicker response to changes in vehicle operating conditions and increased flexibility in a/c refrigerant control. The SANHUA Automotive EXV enables a number of system control strategies which ultimately lead to improved overall a/c system efficiency, increased fuel economy and EV range. This EXV has enabled SANHUA Automotive to be named as a 2017 Automotive News PACE Award finalist for product innovation.

This year the SAE Thermal Management System Symposium also expanded its programming content to focus on environmental regulatory requirements and the technologies to meet them. Over 250 engineers from the United States, Europe and Asia attended the event and heard global thermal experts present cutting-edge thermal management technologies and regulation compliance strategies.
