  • Direct DC Power Supply: Accepts 570–800V DC straight from the battery, no conversion needed. This means simplified system design and greater energy efficiency.
  • All-Climate Operation: Performs reliably from -13°F to +113°F.  Its internal heater ensures optimal liquid temperature in winter, safeguarding battery life even in the coldest climates.
  • Cutting-Edge Efficiency: Variable frequency drive (VFD) tech, a micro-channel condenser, and EC fans deliver significant energy savings and robust performance.
  • Space-Smart Design: A slim profile with a unique structural notch allows easy mounting in tight spots, ideal for maximizing use of every inch.
  • Easy Integration: Modbus TCP communication ensures seamless linkup with Battery Management Systems.

Did you know? The VLV 4 & 12 are protected by two patents, one covering its distinctive shape and another for its innovative DC power source.

Meet the DMC 8.0: Flexible, Space-Saving

If your project needs a solution that excels in both performance and installation options, the DMC 8.0 Chiller is ready to deliver:
