Barrel Air Registers are part of the climatization system that contribute to the distribution of air within the cabin.
The Barrel Air Registers, in particular, pivot the front barrel package to direct up/down or left/right movements. A key advantage is the reduced complexity of the air register. The barrel system allows high flexibility, particularly for design and decoration aspects.
ITW Automotive offers a modular concept for air registers, which provides a simplified, streamlined design and development process. An advantage of our modular concept is that ITW Automotive’s Air Flow Management offers streamlined integration of our air register concept across carlines and platforms to gain volume benefits.
Rear vane shut-off system provides outstanding air leakage performance. The high-performance ITW air leakage system is available as 2K and 1K solutions.
The barrels can be designed to allow flexible use of hot stamping. This allows easy adaptation of different design aspects to match various decoration concepts in the vehicles.
The optimized 1K and 2K rear vane shut-off system and the ITW airflow system provide noise reduction, which is particularly optimized for EV or hybrid cars.
ITW Automotive's air registers support CO2 reduction goals due to extensive experience in designing large parts made from recycled materials. The use of recycled material is combined with material optimization in the single-part design.
ITW Automotive Airflow Management provides experience in the simplification of the air register. This results in a simplified Bill of Materials and low complexity with a high number of common parts in the Barrel Air Register. Consequently, this system results in low-weight air registers, which are particularly needed for EV cars.
