1. Capacitor heat generation As electronic devices become smaller and lighter in weight, the component mounting density increases, with the result that heat dissipation performance decreases, causing the device temperature to rise easily.
This article describes aluminum electrolytic capacitors types, features, characteristics and behaviour. The primary strength of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is their ability to provide a large capacitance value in a small package, and do so for a relatively low cost.
Wet aluminum (Al) electrolytic capacitors continuously generate hydrogen gas under operation and while stored with even a small residual charge. That hydrogen must be able to diffuse and exit the package or it will rupture. Thus conventional wet Al electrolytics must not be hermetic sealed.
Performance deterioration of aluminum electrolytic capacitor is accelerated by repeated charge and discharge. Deterioration is accelerated as charge-discharge voltage is higher, discharge resistance is lower, charge-discharge cycle is shorter, and ambient temperature is higher.
When charged aluminum electrolytic capacitor is discharged by shorting the terminals and left open for a while, the voltage between terminals of the capacitor rises again. This increased voltage is called “regeneration voltage”. The mechanism of this phenomenon is explained as follows.
One fact that is apparent when beginning the task of ther-mally modeling an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a typi-cal operating environment is that the effort is inherently com-plex. This complexity is due to several factors. First, all three of the heat transfer modes (conduction, convection, and radia-tion) are present and may be significant.
