THERMAL
Applications: Polyurethane foam offers superior thermal insulation, making it ideal for managing heat within various automotive systems. Our foam is used to insulate components, helping to control temperatures and enhance performance in applications where thermal regulation is essential.
Case Study: HVAC Duct Cover
Challenge: Heat radiating from HVAC ducts running through the center console was causing the cup holders and storage compartments to become uncomfortably hot. With the issue identified late in vehicle development, there was very limited space to implement a solution.
Solution: Eagle Industries developed a cast polyurethane foam system specifically designed to minimize heat transfer through the duct walls. This compact solution fit within the constrained package space while effectively insulating the center console components.
Outcome: The polyurethane foam system reduced the overall temperature of the cup holders and storage area by 20°F, ensuring a more comfortable and user-friendly experience for passengers without compromising the vehicle’s design constraints.
