ebm-papst: Cooling solutions for charging stations and photovoltaic inverters

Thermal management is crucial to the reliability of renewable energy technologies. Electric vehicle charging stations and photovoltaic inverters operate at ever-increasing power levels and in challenging environmental conditions: ensuring stable temperatures means preserving the efficiency of electronic systems and reducing the risk of failure. With a consolidated portfolio of EC fans and cooling solutions , ebm-papst develops components capable of ensuring consistent performance even in critical applications.

Cooling of high-power charging stations

Fast and ultra-fast charging infrastructures generate significant amounts of heat in power modules, cables, and control electronics. The challenge is twofold: managing high currents in small spaces, and ensuring reliability in variable external conditions, including humidity, dust, and temperature fluctuations.

ebm-papst responds with compact and efficient EC fans, designed to dissipate heat uniformly and stably . The solutions can be integrated into both all-in-one stations, where electronics and charging sockets share the same casing, and split systems, which power multiple charging stations from a central Power Cube. In both cases, proper thermal management extends the life of the components and reduces the risk of system downtime.

Thermal management in photovoltaic inverters

Photovoltaic inverters convert the modules' direct current into alternating current, but this process generates significant thermal loads. Dissipation therefore becomes crucial to avoid derating, premature failure, and performance losses.

ebm-papst offers customized ventilation solutions for both string inverters , featuring compact electronics, and centralized inverters, which handle much higher power and require air or liquid cooling systems. The EC fans developed by the company guarantee energy efficiency, quiet operation, and robustness, essential elements for ensuring operational continuity and reducing maintenance costs over the long term.

Cooling as an enabling factor in the energy transition

In high-power density applications, temperature control is not an accessory but a structural element of the project. ebm-papst solutions stabilize the operating conditions of columns and inverters , improving their reliability and overall efficiency. The company's expertise in EC ventilation allows it to address the typical challenges of renewable energy with technologies optimized for durability, safety, and performance.
