Deutronic has earned a reputation for developing state-of-the-art component technology for today’s off-highway electric vehicles. It’s why leading automotive and commercial vehicle OEMs rely on their intelligent power electronics and test systems worldwide. Those systems include various DC/DC converter products that will be featured at the iVT Expo (booth 2048) on June 26-27, being held at Koln Messe in Cologne, Germany. Among the products that will be on display is the DVCHx3 converter. One of a series designed for hybrid and electric vehicles, it was named the 2021 Product of the Year in the Power category by Elektronik magazine. Tobias Gmeineder, Head of Sales for Deutronic, says all of the company’s converters offer the technology needed for any off-highway or commercial vehicle. “One of the more intriguing aspects of the DVCHx3 converter is it provides cooling via the contact surface,” he explained. “Unlike your typical purely liquid-cooled systems, it can be flexibly applied to an application. The DVCHx3 is a prime example of the cost-effective contact cooling variant we offer, in addition to our other solutions that include heat sinks or cold plates.” Gmeineder believes with the demand being high for electric and hybrid technology advancements that can be applied to rigorous applications, the DVCHx3 and other high voltage DC/DC converters are meeting the upgraded power requirements necessary for off-highway electric vehicles.
