Baltimore Aircoil Company (BAC), established in 1938 by engineer John Engalitcheff Jr., is a global provider of heat transfer and evaporative cooling technologies. Initially recognized for its innovative modular cooling equipment, BAC has grown to serve various industrial and commercial markets worldwide. Headquartered in Jessup, Maryland, the company operates internationally with manufacturing facilities across multiple countries. BAC has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amsted Industries Inc., an employee-owned corporation, since 1985. BAC’s growth includes strategic acquisitions like Coil Design Corporation and Eurocoil SPA, which have expanded its product capabilities.
Battery Technology
BAC provides advanced thermal management infrastructure crucial for battery production, particularly within the electric vehicle (EV) sector. While the company does not develop or manufacture batteries, its cooling solutions are essential for maintaining stable temperatures during various stages of lithium-ion and other advanced battery manufacturing. This includes cell fabrication, module assembly, formation cycling, and testing. Effective temperature regulation is vital for ensuring product quality, safety, and maximizing production throughput.
BAC’s solutions enable precise thermal control, which helps remove excess heat generated during intense manufacturing processes. The company’s range of cooling products supports diverse needs in battery gigafactories. This includes open cooling towers for low-temperature applications, and closed-circuit and hybrid systems that reduce contamination risks and maintenance needs. Additionally, BAC offers thermal storage systems that help manage energy costs and grid load on large battery and EV manufacturing campuses by producing ice during off-peak hours for use during peak demand. This flexibility allows BAC to provide essential cooling infrastructure for battery manufacturing facilities.
