Shielding systems ElroShield™ and ElroActive™
ElroShield™ M and S
ElroShield™ M consists of several layers (metal, insulating material) and is suitable for a wide range of applications up to an operating temperature of 1,100 °C. Besides the primary thermal protection function, acoustic and electromagnetic functions can be added, as well as aerodynamic functions, especially in the underbody area. Add-on components, such as seals, cable clips, and fastening and connecting elements can be integrated. ElroShield™ S is the single-layer variant of this shielding system and is primarily used in areas with lower thermal requirements, such as the underbody area.
ElroShield™ D
ElroShield™ D comes into its own in the case of exacting demands with regard to thermal and acoustic management and in areas in which system temperatures have to be kept constant. A metallic carrier layer is combined with a silicate nonwoven that allows direct contact with the surface of the component to be protected. The shielding part is extremely lightweight, offers highly efficient thermal protection and optimum acoustic absorption on components subjected to high temperatures, and can be used up to operating temperatures of max. 1,100 °C.
ElroActive™
As an active system, ElroActive™ is fitted with heating elements that allow the required operating temperatures for exhaust gas aftertreatment components to be controlled precisely. It can be used flexibly at any position in the exhaust system, right up to the cold end, at operating temperatures of up to 800 °C. There are also potential applications for battery systems, where battery cells or battery modules, for example, can be brought into the optimum temperature range under any ambient temperature using ElroActive™.
