Power Applications |
DrivesPower semiconductors have revolutionised the control of motors in industrial applications. Previously, motor speed control was accomplished with gear reduction systems. Using power semiconductors, the control of these motors can be achieved with the touch of a button. Typical industrial drive applications include:
|
Traction |
| Electricity drives most mass transit systems, such as subways. Crude electricity supplied to the locomotive and rolling stock must be conditioned to provide propulsion, lighting and air conditioning. Power semiconductors are utilised to condition the electricity; the removal of heat as efficiently as possible is critical to their operation. Cooling systems must be reliable to meet vibration, climate extremes and shock conditions that are expected with long-term use of mass transit systems. Heat pipes meet this challenge operating on many transit systems around the globe from the tropics to the coldest regions of the world. |  | |
Power Quality | ||
In today's precise manufacturing environments, power quality and reliability are extremely important. Uninterruptable Power Supply provides a necessary power supply much like any other electronic system. When striving for high performance in a small package, the drawback often becomes heat. A highly efficient, cost-effective thermal control solution, such as heat pipes, will allow engineers to take their UPS systems to the next level.

The power market is a diverse one that encompasses many industries. IGBT cooling, traction applications and high power TEC cooling are all exapmples of industry cooling requirements for which Thermacore Europe has manufactured cooling solutions. | ||
These solutions may not be limited to two phase (heat pipe and vapour chamber) applications, but often require liquid cooling too. Again, Liquid Cooling is something Thermacore has experience in developing with phd level students specialising in this very area. | ||
