AC/DC Chargers
ON-BOARD AC CHargers
70-80% of EV owners primarily charge their vehicles at home or at the workplace, using a Level 1 or 2 AC charger. As a result, the majority of EVs have on-board AC-DC converters, ranging from 3 to 22 kW. During charging, these converters generate heat, which is removed by ventilation or the vehicle’s liquid cooling system.
DC FAST CHARGERS
As demand for EVs increase, so will the need for rapid charging infrastructure to enable longer trips with charge rates that rival traditional petrol station refilling times. This will be accomplished by high-power chargers (HPC) providing up to 500 kW. The heat generated by the high current and conversion from incoming AC to DC will require liquid cooling solutions for the electronics and cabling of the charger.
Most of these installations will be outdoors, exposed to harsh environments with ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +50°C. Furthermore, these are expensive long-term investments, expected to operate with maximum uptime. It is extremely important to perform durability tests, as the environment may adversely affect performance and damage the charger.
