PACE Award Finalist 2025

2024

The EGELHOF Shape Memory Actuator Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV-S) has been selected as a 2025 Automotive News PACE Award Finalist. The EXV-S is unique among refrigerant expansion valves because it is not motor driven. The Shape Memory Actuator uses a Nickel Titanium alloy to change its metallurgical structure which in turn changes the position of the needle. This new approach is noiseless, requires no calibration, is accurate to 0.01mm across its full range of stroke and only weighs 60 grams as a cartridge. At EGELHOF, we are proud that many years of hard work and dedication have led to this honor of being a 2025 PACE Award Finalist.
