Front-End Module DENSO’s Front-End module integrates a front-frame carrier and several components, including radiator, air-conditioning condenser, fan and intercooler, into one unit. DENSO also can assemble the bumper and headlamps with the Front-End module. DENSO’s Front-End modules are lighter and more compact than standard components. In addition, DENSO improved heat exchange efficiencies of heat exchangers by optimizing the entire Front-End thermal component zone.

Benefits and Features

• Light yet rigid front-frame carrier
  • The front-frame carrier is formed by a unique injection molding process from a DENSO-developed light, cost-efficient polypropylene material reinforced with long-fiber glass. This allows the fiber glass in the carrier to be about two times longer than that formed by the conventional process.
• Excellent heat exchange efficiencies of heat exchangers
  • DENSO forms the front-frame carrier into a desired shape to achieve optimal heat exchange efficiencies of heat exchangers such as the radiator and condenser. This can result in improved heat exchange efficiencies and/or reduced weights of the heat exchangers.
• Reduces energy needed for air-conditioning compressor operation at idling
  • DENSO provides an air duct for the air-conditioning condenser to prevent hot air suction from the engine compartment to the condenser. This lowers the temperature at the front of the condenser by approximately 5 degrees centigrade at idling, and reduces energy needed for air-conditioning compressor operation by approximately 13 percent.
• Small intercooler
  • The intercooler that operates in conjunction with a turbo charger lowers the temperature of the charge air to the engine, raises the density of that air, and consequently sends more air into the engine. DENSO placed the intercooler in front of the engine taking advantage of better airflow, resulting in a 30 percent size reduction of the intercooler, compared to the intercoolers placed directly above the engine.
