Industrial Operations

HDC is AC-compatible for motor starts, pumps, compressors, HVAC systems, and industrial equipment that cycles on and off all day.

• Many equipment failures come from using capacitors that are not built for AC power or not designed for frequent cycling. Operators face poor performance under in-rush currents, high heat, swelling, and early failures.
• HDC AC-compatible film delivers stable energy, high ripple-current tolerance, and reliable performance even when equipment cycles on and off all day.
• HDC films store more energy in the same footprint, are more reliable, run cooler, and last longer; equipment stays running longer with fewer replacements and maintenance costs.

HDC’s nanolayered design tolerates extreme in-rush currents and higher electrical stress from frequent start-stop activity.

• Electrolytic capacitors struggle to handle large power spikes, swell, leak, and degrade, causing frequent replacements and unplanned downtime.
• HDC capacitor films store more energy in the same footprint, stay stable in extreme in-rush currents, and constant cycling.
• HDC capacitor films handle heavy electrical stress, run cooler, and deliver stable power through constant start-stop cycles, giving operators more reliable motor starts, longer equipment life, and fewer maintenance interruptions.

Rated for 135°C, HDC maintains stable performance when the equipment runs hot and continuously.

• Operators often deal with overheating, swelling, short life, slow or failed starts, and unplanned shutdowns as electrolytics break down under stress and high temperatures in confined spaces.
• Rated for 135°C, built for the brutal conditions of heavy motor start-stop equipment, HDC maintains stable performance when equipment runs hot and continuously.
• With HDC operators experience reliable starts, longer capacitor life, and fewer maintenance interruptions, resulting in more uptime and lower operating costs.

2–4x higher energy storage provides more usable power to be delivered for heavy motor starts.

• Low-energy-density capacitors struggle to deliver the surge needed during heavy motor starts. This leads to slow starts, failed starts, or inconsistent motor performance. To compensate, operators add more capacitors, complicating service and system design.
• HDC nanolayer structure delivers more dielectric capability into thousands of ultra-thin layers, providing 2-4x higher energy storage in the same footprint vs a single thick layer that limits voltage strength and energy density.
• HDC provides more usable power in the same footprint, stronger starts, longer life, fewer failures, and lower operating costs.

3-5x longer life for motors that start, stop, and run hard continuously.

• Early capacitor failures stop motors from starting or running, shutting down critical machinery, causing downtime and emergency maintenance repairs.
• The nanolayer film structure spreads out electrical load and reduces internal heating, allowing HDC to handle heat, electrical stress, and constant motor cycling while eliminating the weak points that cause traditional electrolytic capacitors to fail early.
• HDC’s longer life cycle gives operators more uptime, lower maintenance costs, safer operation, and better long-term reliability in equipment that starts, stops, and runs under heavy load.

Reliable Power for Long-Duty Cycles

LDF Film maintains full performance up to 135°C, eliminating the overheating and derating issues that shut down traditional capacitors during continuous, heavy-duty operation.

• Industrial equipment runs for long periods without cool-down windows, causing internal capacitor heating and forcing traditional capacitors to derate above 85°C, leading to unstable performance and premature failures in thermally constrained environments.
• LDF maintains full performance up to 135°C with no derating, in high-heat, long-duration operations, giving systems more thermal headroom and eliminating the overheating and drift that occur during continuous run times or extreme duty cycles.
• With stable performance at higher temperatures and greater tolerance for long, heavy run cycles, operators gain safer operation, fewer heat-related failures, and predictable uptime even when equipment runs hot and nonstop.

Stable Power for Long Industrial Run Cycles

By reducing the wear caused by ripple currents and constant electrical stress, LDF maintains consistent performance across variable loads and long-duration duty cycles.

• In long-duration industrial operations, high ripple currents and continuous voltage stress wear down traditional capacitors, causing dielectric fatigue, unstable performance, and unpredictable behavior under variable loads.
• LDF’s nanolayer structure dramatically reduces dielectric wear from ripple currents and constant electrical stress, delivering the high stability that power-conversion systems need during extended run times and fluctuating conditions.
• With greater long-run stability, operators get predictable, reliable performance in applications like power-factor correction and utility systems, resulting in fewer failures, smoother operation, and higher uptime.

High-Heat Stability for Continuous Industrial Operation

LDF’s 50% lower self-heating and 135°C stability prevent thermal runaway, keeping systems reliable even in enclosed, high-temperature, long-duration environments.

• Long-duration industrial equipment often runs in hot, enclosed, or poorly ventilated environments where traditional capacitors face thermal runaway risk, internal overheating, and early failure during continuous operation.
• LDF’s nanolayer design cuts internal self-heating by 50% and maintains full performance up to 135°C, reducing thermal stress, preventing swelling, lowering cooling demands, and delivering stable operation even in harsh industrial temperatures.
• With lower internal heat and more thermal headroom, operators gain cooler-running systems, fewer heat-related failures, safer performance during overloads, and longer equipment life in demanding, high-heat environments.

Up to 5x Longer Life in the Harshest Duty Cycles

With up to 5x longer life, LDF reduces the wear that causes early capacitor failures, delivering more uptime, fewer service calls, and lower maintenance costs.

• In long-duration industrial operations, traditional capacitors break down early from high ripple currents, continuous voltage stress, and long run times without cool-down windows, leading to frequent failures, costly maintenance, and repeated shutdowns.
• LDF’s nanolayer structure dramatically reduces dielectric wear and withstands the electrical and thermal stress that destroys conventional capacitors, delivering up to 5x longer life and significantly reducing replacement and maintenance cycles.
• With longer-lasting capacitors, operators gain more equipment uptime, fewer service interruptions, and a lower total cost of ownership—resulting in higher productivity and longer system life across their industrial operations.
