SAN DIEGO, Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxwell
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXWL), a leading developer and
manufacturer of ultracapacitor-based energy storage and power
delivery solutions, today announced the 51-volt (51V) module, the
newest addition to its ultracapacitor product offerings for rugged
applications. The 51V module uses Maxwell's leading 2.85V,
3,400-farad (F) ultracapacitor cell to deliver the company's
highest energy and power density available in the market today.
As durable and efficient energy storage solutions are in strong
market demand, Maxwell's 51V module provides a self-cooling system
solution that helps to optimize the performance of hybrid buses and
other high-duty cycle applications.
Additional features of the 51V include:
- Incorporates Maxwell's proprietary DuraBlue™ Advanced Shock and
Vibration Technology into the design, which provides three times
the vibrational resistance and four times the shock immunity of
previous ultracapacitor-based competitive offerings.
- Meets and exceeds the industry's highest vibration (ISO
16750-3, Table 12) standard for ultracapacitor modules and has an
IP65 environmental protection rating, ensuring the module is not
impacted by dust and water.
- Includes an active cooling system, which improves the module's
maximum continuous current rating by nearly 90 percent and ensures
optimal performance even in extreme temperatures, down to minus 40
degrees and up to 65 degrees Celsius.
- Has an identical mounting pattern to Maxwell's current 48V
module.
"Hybrid bus systems need to perform reliably, even when exposed
to harsh conditions such as rugged roads and extreme temperatures.
The 51-volt module's ability to perform during demanding high
duty-cycle applications reinforces our ongoing commitment to
deliver superior performance and value to our customers," said Dr.
Henning Hauenstein, vice president,
strategy and marketing of Maxwell Technologies.
