Technology efficiently manages waste heat
TDI Power
Liquacore
TDI has developed Liquacore power-management technology, which 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 the application.
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's modular and scalable for higher power needs - up to 100kW.
This unit is suited for harsh vehicle applications.
It also lends itself to high-volume manufacturing, using common mechanical extrusions and mainstream components, resulting in lower costs.
Features: long engine life; reduced fuel consumption; increased horsepower by electrifying traditionally belt-driven systems; frequent stops and starts don't pose problems; extended engine life and and enhanced vehicle reliability; meets city pollution and noise abatement laws; operates in extreme environmental conditions.
