Phase Change Cooling System Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Low Maintenance Version
Phase Change Cooling System Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Low Maintenance Version
This is a worked specification for phase change cooling system in a low maintenance version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The low maintenance version version exists because the duty cycle on passenger cars is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a supplier who changed material without saying so.

Example specification
| Item | Phase Change Cooling System |
|---|---|
| Application | Passenger Cars |
| Version | Low Maintenance Version |
| Base material | Ceramic Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | powder coated |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | ECE R90 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Ceramic Composite, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.

Processes involved
- laser cutting
- sintering
- die casting
- robot welding
- surface grinding
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run low maintenance version most often specify this build for passenger cars. Related applications include assembly programmes, scooter fleets, emergency vehicles, utility trailers, city buses.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ECE R90 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ECE R90-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
