Heat Management in DC converters.
Featured Product from ELANTAS PDG, Inc.
Charging infrastructure applications ELAN-drive
DC/DC Converter
The fixed DC voltage that is provided by the AC/DC converter is transformed by the DC/DC converter in the charging station to the right voltage level needed for charging a specific vehicle. To ensure fast charging the energy density is high and likewise the generation of heat. Heat management becomes paramount for the safe and reliable performance.
Using Casting & Potting materials like the ELAN-tim® products for insulation purposes supports the heat management in the converters. The products have high thermal conductivity and dissipate heat away fast from the sensitive components.
Thermal Interface Materials
During the charging cycle of electric vehicles high temperatures are generated which need to be managed as they have a negative effect on the performance and lifetime of the components.
Thermal Interface Materials are the materials of choice as they:
- effectively dissipate heat and
- support heat management in the charging infrastructure.
Highly filled but still low viscous Casting & Potting materials are used for the protection of components like inverter or converter of a charging infrastructure.
They offer the benefits of:
- high thermal conductivity
- self-levelling materials
- void-free filling
- excellent electrical properties
- good chemical resistance
- good thermal properties
Gap Filler which are higher viscous and thixotropic by design are used in areas where material flow is not needed. Benefits gained by Gap Fillers are:
- high thermal conductivity,
- application in bead form
- easy to dispense,
- excellent electrical properties,
- good chemical resistance, and
- good thermal properties.
The materials are easily applied with standard mass production equipment. The ELANTAS ELAN-tim Portfolio offers different chemistries to find the right fit for the application.
