For years now Ferraz Shawmut Thermal Management has been innovating with water box technology to meet the changing, every more demanding needs of the market.

Moducal® uses a patented technology developed for applications with screw-mounted components that require higher thermal performances than those of the standard water boxes on the market.

Today Ferraz Shawmut Thermal Management can provide you with a complete range of water box technology combining high performance with low cost, based on the tight control of vacuum brazing that 15 years' experience has brought.

General presentation of product technology:

A stack of pre-cut colaminated aluminum grids and two enclosing covers form the body of the Moducal®. The geometry of the grids is optimized to achieve the best possible compromise between thermal performance and load losses. Grid technology guarantees an even distribution of the fluid under the component and a consistent temperature to keep your components reliable and durable.

Vaccum brazing enables you to take assembly a step further, as aluminum or titanium hydro-connections can be mounted at the same time, for a durable guarantee of leaktightness and high pressure withstand.

The advantages of a vacuum brazed water box:

With vacuum brazing you get a water box in a single, solid piece with no additional contact resistances. It guarantees high internal pressure withstand - of the order of 15 bars - and eliminates any risk of leakage or corrosion over time, since no flux that would contaminate the brazing is used.

It also enables you to take assembly a step further, as electrical and hydro-connections can be mounted at the same time, giving the Moducal® unequaled leaktightness, high pressure withstand, and perfect electrical continuity that last!
