The company develops systems and components for internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, combining extensive engineering expertise in air conditioning, cooling, energy management, and temperature control.
Hanon Systems operates globally and provides solutions to leading vehicle manufacturers worldwide. The company combines global research and development, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities, with a strong focus on energy efficiency, passenger comfort, performance, and reduced energy consumption.
HVAC – Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems
Hanon Systems develops and manufactures advanced HVAC systems responsible for controlling temperature, airflow, and air quality within the passenger compartment.
These systems are designed for a wide range of powertrain technologies and include solutions that enable multi-zone climate control, with a focus on comfort, quiet operation, energy efficiency, and compact design.
Air Conditioning Compressors
Compressors are a key area of Hanon Systems’ expertise. The company develops mechanical compressors as well as electric compressors (eCompressors) designed for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Electric compressors enable the air conditioning and thermal management systems to operate independently of an internal combustion engine and play a key role in heat pump systems and the overall thermal management of electric vehicles.
Cooling and Heat Exchangers
Hanon Systems offers a broad range of heat exchangers and cooling components, including radiators, condensers, charge air coolers, battery coolers, chillers, and other related components.
Heat exchangers play a central role in managing the temperature of the engine, powertrain, battery, electronics, and air conditioning system, and are designed to provide efficient heat transfer under varying operating conditions.
Thermal Management for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
The transition to electrified powertrains has made thermal management one of the key systems in modern vehicles. Beyond passenger compartment climate control, the temperature of the battery, electric motor, inverter, and electronic components must be managed precisely.
Hanon Systems develops Battery Thermal Management Systems designed to maintain the battery within its optimal temperature range and support performance, energy efficiency, and long-term durability.
Heat Pump Systems
Hanon Systems has extensive experience in the development of heat pump systems for electric and hybrid vehicles. These systems enable efficient use of energy for vehicle heating and cooling and can utilize various heat sources, including heat generated by electric powertrain components.
Efficient thermal management can reduce the energy required to heat the passenger compartment, helping preserve the driving range of electric vehicles.
Pumps, Valves and Fluid Control
Hanon Systems’ portfolio also includes electronic water pumps, electric oil pumps, coolant valves, and refrigerant valves. These components enable precise control of coolant and refrigerant flow according to system requirements.
In electric and hybrid vehicles, this level of control is particularly important for managing the temperature of the battery, electronics, powertrain, and passenger compartment.
Fluid and Refrigerant Transport Systems
The company also develops and manufactures fluid transport systems, including refrigerant lines, coolant lines, transmission oil lines, receiver driers, accumulators, connectors, and internal heat exchangers.
These systems are designed to provide efficient and reliable transport of fluids and refrigerants between the various components of the vehicle’s air conditioning and thermal management systems.
Integrated Thermal Management Systems
One of Hanon Systems’ key development areas is the transition from individual components to integrated thermal management systems. These solutions combine multiple functions and components into a compact, intelligent system that enables coordinated management of the vehicle’s cooling, air conditioning, and heating circuits.
The systems integrate mechanical components, electronics, controllers, and software to improve energy efficiency, reduce weight and packaging requirements, and enhance overall system performance.
Research, Development and Advanced Technologies
Hanon Systems invests in the research and development of next-generation thermal management technologies, including solutions using refrigerants with reduced environmental impact, software-based control systems, and technologies designed for electric vehicles and Software-Defined Vehicles.
The company combines hardware, electronics, and software to provide smarter and more precise control of thermal systems, with the goal of improving the efficiency, performance, and reliability of modern vehicles.
