Chile is leading a historic green transition in South America, driven by massive investments in renewable solar energy generation in the north and aggressive electrification targets for the nation's logistics, public transportation, and mineral mining sectors. However, Chile’s geography presents some of the most challenging operating environments in the world. From the hyper-arid, high-radiation zones of the Atacama Desert to the freezing, high-altitude Andean mining sites over 4,000 meters above sea level, industrial hardware operates under severe stress.
In high-altitude mining basins, heavy-duty electric haulage trucks encounter extreme continuous power loads. Without precision-engineered Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMS), high C-rate discharge and regenerative braking cycles lead to dangerous temperature spikes, accelerating battery degradation and risking thermal runaway. Conversely, during nocturnal mine operations, sub-zero high-mountain temperatures can drop battery cell temperatures below optimal thresholds, heavily restricting capacity and charging speeds. A robust, dual-function heating and cooling thermal system is vital to maintaining operational uptime and protecting capital-intensive asset investments.
For Chilean utility-scale solar installations and battery energy storage projects (BESS), thermal regulation dictates financial viability. Fluctuating solar generation combined with evening discharge demands means energy storage units experience intense duty cycles. Liquid cooling systems must guarantee temperature uniformity across thousands of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells to prevent localized hot-spots, ensuring compliance with global safety standards and optimizing the system's Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS).
High-efficiency cooling capacities and IP55 dust/sand protection prevent degradation under intense ambient UV and high particulate pollution.
Compensates for reduced air density at high elevations (3000m+) via optimized liquid cooling heat exchangers and premium flow pumps.
Active logic control loops integrate seamlessly with vehicle and station BMS to predictively heat or cool depending on workload demand.
Meeting international standards of engineering to support industrial decarbonization, safe public transit, and microgrid longevity.
Globally, the transition to high-voltage platforms (800V and above) is transforming thermal management requirements. Elevated voltage speeds up charging and discharge rates but generates localized thermal stresses that conventional air cooling systems cannot manage. Leading global manufacturers are standardizing direct liquid cooling plates, utilizing lightweight aluminum alloys and copper microchannels. These systems offer significantly higher thermal transfer coefficients, maintaining cells within their optimal temperature window (15°C to 35°C), regardless of extreme external environments.
In response to international fire safety standards (including NFPA 855 guidelines for stationary energy storage), modern BESS systems incorporate safety-first thermal controls. These controls integrate multi-stage cooling loops, eco-friendly fire-resistant refrigerants, and intelligent fluid flow monitors. These mechanisms prevent thermal runaway propagation, shielding high-value assets and personnel from potential hazards.

At high altitudes (above 3,000 meters), the lower atmospheric density significantly reduces the heat capacity of air. As a result, standard air cooling systems require much larger volumes of air to achieve the same cooling effect, leading to larger, power-hungry fan assemblies. Liquid cooling systems transfer heat through direct contact with liquid cooling plates, maintaining constant cooling capacity regardless of atmospheric pressure or high altitudes.
Our IP55 systems are designed with integrated active heating and cooling loops. During hot daytime periods, the system operates as a high-efficiency chiller, utilizing environmentally friendly refrigerants to reject heat. At night, when temperatures can drop below freezing, active PTC heating elements warm the battery storage medium, keeping battery cell temperatures within their optimal operating window.
