Power-management technology for harsh vehicle apps
TDI Power
Liquacore
TDI has developed the Liquacore power-management technology for harsh vehicle applications and high-volume manufacturing, using common mechanical extrusions and mainstream components.
Liquacore allows the electronics package to remain sealed while enabling efficient management of waste heat at very high power densities.
The cooling liquid employed is either water or a mixture of water and ethylene glycol (anti-freeze).
By using standard power modules, TDI Power can easily configure a complete high-power solution for specific applications.
As part of its power-management technology, TDI Power has developed a 2.7kW, 12V liquid-cooled DC/DC converter that offers 93 per cent efficiency.
This replaces conventional alternators for more power at lower RPMs.
It is modular and scalable for higher power needs - up to 100kW.
