The JOPP Group works on pioneering product ideas and concepts with an independent pre-development department. The results are innovative, highly integrated solutions - such as the JOPP Thermal Management Module that was installed in the company's own electric demonstration vehicle ‘TherMaBil’. This module combines Group-wide production technologies and offers customers a weight- and cost-efficient solution with increased functionality.
The innovation management team is also focussing on future business areas for the JOPP Group. Electromobility topics are systematically analysed and product ideas are generated.
Through research projects in co-operation with universities and research institutes, results are achieved from which industrial applications can be derived, and JOPP's pre-development department is involved in the Bavaria B³ battery education network as an industrial partner and provides topics for student theses. Pioneering technologies are implemented directly in practical demonstrators. One example of this is a liquid-cooled battery module with phase change materials and high-performance insulation using vacuum insulation materials.
The combination with innovative JOPP thermal management components, such as the patented JOPP liquid multiway valve, results in holistic system solutions for applications in vehicles and buildings. The basis for all developments are existing series products such as cooling water regulators, oiling systems and various actuators as well as in-house plastics processing, sintered parts production, metalworking, electronics production and assembly expertise.
Innovative use of experience: efficient heat regulation with JOPP
JOPP utilises the full-surface contact between cooling surfaces and cell walls to enable efficient thermal regulation in lithium-ion cells.
In order to achieve high energy density, longevity, efficiency and safety, the temperature of lithium-ion cells must be precisely controlled and regulated. JOPP contributes its many years of experience in the design and manufacture of plastic tubes and has developed a special heat connection concept: Full-surface contact between the cell walls and temperature-controlled surfaces, which are cooled by liquid-fed plastic tubes, ensures optimum heat transfer. Various battery module solutions have already been developed and successfully implemented on this basis.

For smart control: JOPP develops efficient thermal management control systems for electric vehicles that intelligently fulfil strict temperature requirements - for every vehicle component.
The requirements for an intelligent, efficient and cost-effective thermal management system are particularly high in the field of electromobility. Highly efficient powertrains mean that electric vehicles have very little waste heat left over that can be used for the interior and battery. To ensure longevity and safety, the sensitive lithium-ion battery also only allows a narrow temperature range. This system regulates this reliably, whether for the battery, electric motor, HV power electronics or interior - in every driving situation.

Water and oil-carrying system components: JOPP designs high-quality components for water and oil-carrying systems, which are designed with patent-independent interlocks, flow-optimised geometries and minimal tooling costs.
JOPP can manufacture all the necessary components for a temper- ature control system, such as non-return valves, branches, pipe bends, etc. This provides the customer with a flexibly customisable system and cost-effective use for pre-series and small series.
