HEAT PUMPS & HVAC

Reducing global energy consumption and carbon emissions, enhancing performance or complying to new regulations, Silicon Carbide (SiC) power modules are revolutionizing the heating and cooling industry by offering more efficiency, longer durability, and higher performance. The adoption of SiC power modules is particularly continued to grow in the area of air conditions and heat pumps, both in residential and commercial settings.

The following two use cases show real data how SiC technology can increase efficiency.

Use case: PFC converters

Benefits:
  • More compact design
  • More energy efficient
  • Cost savings for system components
  • Use of SiC diodes is crucial

Use case: motor inverters

Benefits:
  • High efficiency across entire load profile
  • Increasing power density
  • Reducing audible noise level
  • More cost-effective solution for end users over the product lifetime
