MARPOL is a global agreement adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Initially adopted in 1973, it regulates multiple types of ship-generated pollution, including airborne emissions and discharge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Engineers designing a new ship-borne emission sensor impervious to power interruptions required a 150W DC-DC converter with a 24V output capable of operating from a high-voltage input to support battery backup.\u00a0 To meet this need, they turned to TDK-Lambda, which had previously assisted with an earlier design. TDK-Lambda recommended the <\/span>PH150A280-24<\/span><\/a> power module for this application.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PCB-mounted PH150A can operate from a wide, unregulated 300 to 425Vdc supply and provides a 19.2 to 26.4V adjustable output. With its quarter-brick form factor, the modules offer versatile cooling options, including conduction cooling via a cold plate or convection cooling using an optional heatsink, which was chosen for the final design.<\/span><\/p>\n

TDK-Lambda regularly develops value-added solutions for customers utilising its range of DC-DC power modules. Local and knowledgeable technical experts are readily available to provide support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TDK-Lambda offers a wide range of PCB-mount DC-DC power modules.\u00a0<\/span>Click here<\/span><\/a> for more information<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
