High ripple current and high temperature of the environment in which the capacitor operates causes heating due to power dissipation. High temperatures can also cause hot spots within the capacitor and can lead to its failure. Cooling a capacitor helps to enhance its performance as well as its reliability.
However, it is difficult to reduce capacitor failures to zero with the current level of technology. Therefore, this report explains troubleshooting (diagnosis of failures and appropriate measures) to ensure proper and safe use of capacitors.
The electrolyte vaporization and diffusions through the encapsulant causes a decrease in capacitance and an increase in ESR. In other words, increases in capacitor temperature due to ambient temperature and ripple current accelerate capacitor wear out. It is a physical failure of AL-Ecap.
In higher power cases, the larger heat load may require additional cooling by means of an external heat dissipator or heat sink (not unknown, but not common with capacitors since they take up a lot of space); a fan, which can forcefully direct cooling air over the capacitor; or liquid cooling.
Electromigration is one of failure mechanisms of semiconductor, but the failure mode can appear as a short, open, or characteristic degradation. Capacitors have several failure modes, the degree of which depends on the type of capacitor (Table 1).
Heat can impact the performance and lifespan of capacitors, especially in the most challenging applications such as induction heating. Murray Slovick reviews the science behind keeping capacitors cool and looks at some ways that capacitor technology could revolutionize cooling elsewhere.
