Visit Us at the Chillventa 2026, Five Areas and a New Booth Design – 14.09.2026 Chillventa 2026 – Mobile Cooling Area

Secop exhibits at Chillventa 2026 in Nuremberg, 13 to 15 October, Hall 4, Booth 129. The booth is organized into five areas: Food Service, Food Retail, Special Applications, Medical Cold Chain and Mobile Cooling.

This info series presents one area at a time. It opens with Mobile Cooling, continues with Medical Cold Chain, and covers the commercial refrigeration areas as the exhibition approaches. Today we start with Mobile Cooling area.

The BD Nano. One Solution from Electric Cars to Boats.

Mobile refrigeration comes with different demands depending on the application:

  • An electric vehicle's onboard refrigerator must be very small to minimize power draw to preserve driving range and stay silent in operation. 
  • A truck cabin unit runs on 12/24V systems and requires rugged durability on the road together with high efficiency. 
  • A camper refrigerator has to cool down fast and hold temperature stable while limiting the drain on the auxiliary batteries, quietly and in tight spaces.
  • A boat refrigerator faces continuous wave motion and needs high reliability without giving up performance.

They all share a compact, high-efficiency DC compressor, with dedicated electronic controllers tailored to the specific vehicle application.

 

Secop's BD Nano platform can meet the needs of the different applications with variants tailored to the specific needs combined with an application-specific electronic control. 

All BD Nano solutions are tested to ISO 16750 and manufactured in a plant with IATF 16949 certification to guarantee high-level automotive standards.

 

  • BD Nano EV (Electric Vehicles): specifically designed to fit EV refrigerators to guarantee low noise and vibrations inside EV cockpit. It integrates industry-standard LIN bus and it includes a configurable electronic thermostat and battery protection, supporting R1234yf and R134a refrigerants.
  • BD Nano Automotive (Trucks, Buses & ICE): Compatible with 12/24V systems and offers versatile refrigerant choices, including natural R600a (isobutane) as well as R134a and R1234yf (BDN45F-A and BDN50K-A models), easily configurable via Tool4Cool®. A reliable design with optimized performance based on years of automotive experience.
  • BD Nano R600a (Recreational Vehicles & Marine): Runs on natural R600a (isobutane) and 12/24V supply, specifically tuned for quiet, energy-efficient off-grid living in campers and boats.

Across the entire BD compressors' range, the BD Nano platform is the smallest, 40% shorter and 67% lighter than the previous models. A compact footprint that can deliver premium cooling performance in a reliable design.

Electric Cars Focus: One Board, Multiple Functions

One more variant has been added to the platform specifically tailored for EV refrigeration units: the BD Nano EV with One-Control ECU. The new ECU combines compressor drive and cabinet ECU functionalities in a single board optimized for electric vehicles. 

By managing both the compressor and advanced cabinet features, such as multi-temperature sensors, fan control, automated door opening, heating, and LED lighting, it removes the need for a second control unit and reduces cost, footprint, and complexity.

 

The full BD Nano platform variants are displayed in Hall 4, Booth 129, including an EV refrigerator application to show how the solution fits the real installation. And last but not least an exploded 3D of the BD Nano will be visible to understand the technology inside this highly engineered component.

Next update will cover the Medical Cold Chain counter; keep following us.
