0:09 Fans have long been the go-to method for efficiently cooling electronic systems 0:13 and power supplies due to their affordability and effectiveness in dissipating heat from electronic components. 0:20 And although fans are a proven method, they also come with some drawbacks 0:24 noise generation 0:27 wear and tear from dust and particles 0:30 the need for airflow-optimized designs 0:33 and the risk of failures if the fan becomes blocked or damaged 0:37 are common concerns when implementing fans into an application. 0:41 In recent years, various cooling technologies have emerged and improved, 0:46 such as baseplate cooling, heat pipes, liquid cooling, and thermoelectric cooling systems. 0:52 However, many passive cooling systems like heatsinks or cooling baseplates have limitations 0:59 and lose much of their effectiveness when used with higher power systems. 1:03 To meet the growing customer demands for fanless designs 1:07 while simultaneously eliminating the limiting factors of conduction-cooled power supplies, 1:12 Traco Power has been working on a novel power supply design 1:15 that aims to maximize the potential of conduction-cooled systems. 1:19 The result of our efforts is the new TCI power supply series, 1:24 which utilizes an innovative hybrid case design, part encased and part encapsulated. 1:30 While the metal case ensures optimal heat transfer to any baseplate or case, 1:34 the special potting compound does the same for the individual components 1:38 by establishing an ideal thermal connection to all critical components 1:42 which is otherwise hard to achieve within conventional power supply designs. 1:47 By combining the best aspects of both case types, the TCI series has superior thermal capabilities 1:53 and can reach much higher power levels without the need 1:56 of a fan within the same form factor compared to traditional power supply designs. 2:01 When used in a conduction cooled setup the TCI series is able to deliver 80 to 100% of the rated maximum output power, 2:10 making it an ideal solution for fanless application setups. 2:14 The TCI product range includes models from 130 – 500 Watts and offers standard features such as 2:21 Wide temperature range, from –30 to 80°C 2:26 Optimized design for conduction cooled systems 2:29 Efficiency of up to 94% 2:33 Over-Voltage Category OVC III 2:36 Active PFC function 2:39 Overall, the design approach of Traco Power’s TCI Series brings numerous benefits to customers, 2:45 including high output power with a passive cooling system, reduced noise, improved reliability, 2:52 more compact designs, and dust resistance, all while offering design flexibility 2:58 and reduced maintenance efforts. 3:00 All TCI models are now available from stock through our official distribution channels. 3:06 For more information, datasheets, and certifications, please visit our website at www.tracopower.com
