Aftermarket July/August 2024

Cooling 42 www.aftermarketonline.net JULY/AUGUST 2024 Thermal management solutions from Nissens Automotive Every vehicle with a combustion engine, which therefore includes hybrids, needs effective thermal control of the engine, not only for cooling to prevent overheating, but also to achieve the quickest possible temperature build-up to reach and then maintain it at the optimum level. The combustion process causes very high temperatures, exposing the engine’s block and its equipment to extremely high thermal stress. Furthermore, turbocharged combustion systems also need sufficient air cooling to obtain the right charge performance, and manual gearboxes, as well as power transmission units, all need active thermal management to ensure each component is operating at its design temperature to ensure the optimum performance of the powertrain. To achieve these sometimes conflicting objectives increasingly requires electrical sensors. Although physically small, these sensors have a critical function as their signals ensure that the AC and engine cooling systems work correctly and operate at their optimum efficiencies — which also safeguards the longevity of other components. Nissens Automotive offers engine coolant/oil temperature and AC sensors within its comprehensive range of thermal management products. These are all manufactured to Nissens genuine quality standards, giving workshops premium grade replacement components that operate to the same performance levels as the OE part, to deliver a dependable aftermarket solution. Excellent durability The genuine Nissens quality standard ensures that these, alongside the company’s other products, deliver excellent durability and working performance, as well as trouble-free fitment. In common with these other components, all the necessary installation parts whenever required by the original are included in the product box to provide a Nissens first fit solution. Precise product identification, technical information, along with detailed drawings and complete pictures, as well as details about sensor type, thread size and connection shape data, is contained in Nissens’ online catalogue. The current sensor range consists of more than 44 pressure sensors for automotive climate systems and nearly 50 temperature sensors for engine cooling systems, which cater for almost 74% and 60% of the European car parc respectively. Sensors are only part of the story, as components as diverse as engine cooling radiators, oil coolers, fans, expansion tanks, water pumps and intercoolers, all feature in the complete Nissens thermal management offering — which totals nearly 7,000 part numbers that cater for more than 30,000 OE references and as much as 93% of the European car parc in some product lines. Central to the cooling system is the radiator, so only a replacement product of the correct design and highest quality will do for the long term. Advanced technology Nissens’ radiators are produced with sturdy, durable and high-performance core construction with advanced aluminium brazing technology. Among a number of design features that ensure their suitability are cores equipped with double folded fins that reinforce them against mechanical damage and increase the total heat exchanging surface for more efficient cooling. Another huge benefit for workshops is that Nissens’ radiators are delivered with everything that is needed for easy installation. So, dependent on the application, any caps, O-rings, nuts, clamps, plugs, gaskets, circlips, bolts, screws, hose clips and washers etc required are supplied in the box. The company’s technical know-how, manufacturing experience and deep insight in thermal systems mean that it is flexible, able to meet emerging market needs and can supply a wide range of premium quality engine cooling components. Nissens also offers education via live onsite sessions, online self-learning courses and technical marketing materials. It has further expanded its training concept, an educational solution for automotive professionals in the field of air conditioning, engine cooling, efficiency, and emissions.
