iMOD THiNCAP ultracapacitor module for power conditioning applications

Ioxus has announced it is offering thin-cell ultracapacitor modules for power conditioning and AGV (automated guided vehicle) applications. Ioxus THiNCAP iMOD modules consist of high-power, thin, flexible ultracapacitor packs, instead of cylindrical cells, making them attractive for a variety of applications where a small form factor is valuable. The modules save space and weight, benefiting users with a reduced total cost of ownership, longer life, higher cycle count, wider operational temperature range, and reduced maintenance requirements compared to batteries.

With smaller footprints, the THiNCAP iMOD modules allow for flexible product development across a wide variety of markets. They are well suited for power conditioning and voltage-sag compensation in short-term UPSs to protect against voltage disruptions and ensure a smooth power supply to factory equipment and mission-critical applications. These applications can include telecommunications, silicon processing, food production, renewable energy, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, AGVs and robotics benefit from the quick charge and long life of the Ioxus modules, cutting charge times in half and increasing productivity and operating time while eliminating the need for battery replacement or charging. The cell design can also reduce cooling requirements as it allows for heat mitigation through double-sided cooling. Ioxus customers—including TMEIC (Toshiba Mitsubishi Electric Industrial System Corporation), RICOH, Sanyo Denki, and General Electric—use the THiNCAP iMOD modules for numerous applications such as power conditioning, copy machines, and peak-power shaving systems. Key features and benefits of the THiNCAP iMOD modules for AGV applications include:

  • Quick charge and long life increase productivity and reduce operation costs
  • Complete system available, including DC-DC, to fit a range of applications
  • Maintenance-free to reduce total cost of ownership
  • Restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) compliant
Key features and benefits of the THiNCAP iMOD modules for power conditioning applications include:
  • Low ESR for higher efficiency and power capabilities
  • Front terminal products to replace or enhance common rack-mount battery systems
  • Size compatibility for all common rack enclosures, including 19", 23" wide and greater than 20" in depth.
  • High energy per shelf with up to 40 kW (10s) per 4U rack slot
  • Provides up to 101 percent more energy than competing modules
  • Maintenance-free to reduce total cost of ownership
  • RoHS compliant
"The THiNCAP iMOD modules provide customers with an ideal form factor and power capabilities to improve application performance, and allow Ioxus to expand into new global markets," said Mark McGough, CEO of Ioxus. "By adding thin-cell ultracapacitor modules to Ioxus' existing line of cylindrical cells and hybrid capacitors, we are now able to give customers the most extensive technology offerings in the industry to meet their application needs," said Ioxus CEO Mark McGough.
