Wet electrolytic tantalum (Ta) capacitors have historically been utilized in a variety of applications which endure harsh ambient conditions. Thermal, electrical and mechanical stresses, though, pose significant challenges to reliable performance of these capacitors in such environments. Thermal stress can increase the internal pressure of the capacitors, as well as mechanically compromise some of the components of which the capacitors are comprised. Electrical stress, in the form of current flow due to applied voltage, can elicit hydrogen gas evolution, which further exacerbates the internal pressure issue, potentially embrittles Ta components, and degrades AC performance of the capacitors. Mechanical stress, resulting from shock and vibration for example, can jeopardize the internal mechanical integrity of the capacitors. This paper elaborates on these obstacles, and offers design approaches to reliably overcome them. Also presented are results of high temperature performance, predominantly up to 230°C, but also a mention of limited 245°C results, of wet Ta capacitors manufactured with proper attention paid to these concerns.

1.2 kV SiC buried grid junction barrier Schottky (BG-JBS) diodes are demonstrated. The design considerations for high temperature applications are investigated. The design is optimized in terms of doping concentration and thickness of the epilayers, as well as grid size and spacing dimensions, in order to obtain low on-resistance and reasonable leakage current even at high temperatures. The device behavior at temperatures ranging from 25 to 225ºC is analyzed and measured on wafer level. At 100 A/cm2 a forward voltage drop of 2 V at 25ºC and 3 V at 225ºC is achieved. At reverse voltage of 1 kV, a leakage current density below 0.1 µA/cm2 and below 0.1 mA/cm2 is measured at 25 and 225ºC, respectively. This proves the effective shielding effect of the BG-JBS design and provides benefits in high voltage applications, particularly for high temperature operation.

Decarbonization of the industrial sector is one of the most important keys to reducing global warming. Energy demands and associated emissions in the industrial sector are continuously increasing. The utilization of high temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) operating with natural fluids presents an environmentally friendly solution with great potential to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions in industrial processes. Ammonia-water absorption–compression heat pumps (ACHPs) combine the technologies of an absorption and vapor compression heat pump using a zeotropic mixture of ammonia and water as working fluid. The given characteristics, such as the ability to achieve high sink temperatures with comparably large temperature lifts and high coefficient of performance (COP) make the ACHP interesting for utilization in various industrial high temperature applications. This work reviews the state of technology and identifies existing challenges based on conducted experimental investigations. In this context, 23 references with capacities ranging from 1.4 kW to 4500 kW are evaluated, achieving sink outlet temperatures from 45 °C to 115 °C and COPs from 1.4 to 11.3. Existing challenges are identified for the compressor concerning discharge temperature and lubrication, for the absorber and desorber design for operation and liquid–vapor mixing and distribution and the choice of solution pump. Recent developments and promising solutions are then highlighted and presented in a comprehensive overview. Finally, future trends for further studies are discussed. The purpose of this study is to serve as a starting point for further research by connecting theoretical approaches, possible solutions and experimental results as a resource for further developments of ammonia-water ACHP systems at high temperature operation.
