The EAK Series liquid-cooled high-power braking resistors are engineered for fuel cell and hybrid electric vehicles (FCEVs & HEVs), offering a power range of 35 kW to 150 kW. Designed for superior thermal management, these liquid-cooled resistors ensure efficient energy dissipation while maintaining a compact, lightweight structure—ideal for modern automotive and industrial applications.
Why Choose Liquid-Cooled Resistors?
Traditional air-cooled resistors struggle with heat dissipation in high-power scenarios, but liquid-cooled resistors like the EAK Series excel by transferring heat directly to a cooling medium. This allows:
✔ Higher power density in a smaller footprint
✔ 50%+ weight reduction vs. traditional metal designs
✔ IP65-rated thermoplastic housing for safe internal/external mounting
✔ No capacitive issues common in metal enclosures
Key Applications
Regenerative Braking in EVs & FCEVs – Absorbs excess energy during deceleration, converting it into heat for liquid cooling.
Downhill Speed Control – Maintains stable speeds by engaging the resistor when the motor acts as a generator.
Waste Heat Recovery – Reuse dissipated heat for cabin warming or maintaining optimal fuel cell temperatures.
Cold-Start Assistance – Preheats fuel cells in low-temperature environments using external power.
