HOT-COLD PERFECTION

Heating and cooling in equal measure: This broadly outlines the tasks of modern thermal management systems. The combustion process taking place in the engine generates heat that must be dissipated efficiently to prevent damage to engine components due to overheating.

A mixture of water and antifreeze is used in liquid cooled engines. This coolant circulates in a closed system. Particular attention must always be paid to the mixture ratio in order to ensure that cooling, as well as protection against frost damage and corrosion in the cooling system and engine, function properly. Damage or leaks in the components of this cooling system, e.g. at the radiator, thermostat or radiator hoses, can result in substantial engine damage.

Use of high-quality engine thermal management components can prevent this in the long run and lead to lengthening of the engine service life as well as reductions in fuel consumption and emissions.

febi components impress with a long service life, excellent ­fitting accuracy and fulfilment of all OE manufacturer requirements.

febi counts on the highest levels of precision in the in-house production of truck spare parts. Thanks to the use of fully automatic machines, digital measuring technology and 100% leaktightness tests, as well as strict adherence to tolerances, we ensure trustworthy OE matching quality. Around 21,000 commercial water pumps alone are manufactured annually on our CNC machines.

In order to ensure that the engine thermal management system functions reliably, the service intervals prescribed by the vehicles manufacturer must always be adhered to.
