Transformative Invention; Low Cost Manufacturing Process for Automotive Heat Transfer Products Focused on Lightening, Lower Cost & Better Cooling

Greenville, SC, December 14, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Thermo-Pur Technologies announces the issuance of a system and method patent, for its revolutionary low cost metal forming manufacturing process. Thermo-Pur Technologies creates exponential change in the manufacturing process. It reduces environmental impact through a low cost, high speed laser welding and superplastic forming process for high tensile strength foil (ranging from higher strength carbon steels, stainless and nickel to titanium in thicknesses of 20 to 300 microns) 0.02 - 0.3mm.

Developed for lower cost heat exchangers, a $30 billion global market, this automated forming process applies to an endless range of heat transfer product applications. Cross corrugation increases turbulence for more efficient heat transfer than current tube and fin applications. Thermo-Pur manufacturing process utilizes thinner foil in the manufacture of cross corrugated plate heat exchangers which are well known in the industry.

Radiator application example; current aluminum radiator (900mmx600mmx105mm) weighs 66lbs w/TOC weighing 11lbs for total 77lbs vs. Thermo-Pur process utilizing 100 micron type 304 stainless steel foil provides same cooling in (900mmx600mmx60mm) and weighs 30lbs. This radiator corrugated plate heat exchanger manufactured utilizing Thermo-Pur process represents a 62% reduction in mass.

Now engineers have options to utilize reclaimed space in the engine bay while reducing mass to meet EPA targets for both aftermarket products and body in white. In this case a 43% reduction in space was achieved while delivering the same cooling as the tube and fin radiator.

Metals like titanium, nickel, stainless steel, etc. can now be engineered for cost effective feature enhancements to heat transfer products when utilizing this disruptive manufacturing technology. The process opens many mature products to new low cost manufacturing methods, materials and designs previously considered impractical or economically infeasible. Applications include charge air coolers, radiators, oil coolers, EGR coolers, cold plates, axial fan dry coolers and air cooled condensers (ACC) for applications in automotive, aerospace, power generation, railroad and server farms. Engineers can now provide alternative product solutions for business development teams.

The unique Thermo-Pur low cost manufacturing equipment, low energy consumption, low labor, absence of hazards to environment, small manufacturing space requirement and automation allow reduction in product cost close to the cost of consumed metal.

Headquartered in Greenville, SC, Thermo-Pur Technologies is a development phase company formed in July 2010. Providing a remarkably strong return on investment, Thermo-Pur is actively engaging with licensing partners in all Industry and product segments
