With its electric A/C compressor, MAHLE is a pioneer in high-voltage technology, i.e. voltage levels above 400 volts, and large compressor displacements. These characteristics enable, for example, ultra-fast charging, which is so important for modern electric vehicles. MAHLE currently offers its high-voltage compressor in voltage ranges up to 900 volts and displacements up to 57 cm3. Its compact design means that it can be used in all vehicle classes, from passenger cars to heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The extremely small installation space requirements are made possible by the patented refrigerant cooling of the compressor motor and electronics.
One of the biggest challenges with electric battery-powered vehicles is also cabin acoustics. Here, passengers find the smallest vibrations and the slightest noise developments disturbing. The noise-optimized high-voltage compressor from MAHLE effectively causes just slightest vibrations. The result is very smooth running and best acoustics.
