PRODUCT NEWS
a vast array of possibilities to support our customers in bringing
new electrified solutions to the market, " said Paul Thomas,
executive vice president, Mobility Solutions for the Americas at
Bosch. " From powertrains to steering systems to brakes, Bosch's
portfolio includes all the building blocks for the electrification of
vehicles and allows for a seamless integration into our customers
various electrical and vehicle architectures. "
In 2021, the company spent about $800 million on developing
electrical mobility solutions, including fuel cells, an increase of
nearly 40 percent over 2020. About $250 million of that involved
capital expenditures In North America.
The portfolio also includes an advanced inverter with silicon
carbide technology. The improved electrical conductivity of the
semiconductor material reduces heat losses, enabling higher
switching frequencies and improved power density. With this
Bosch achieves an efficiency of up to 99 percent in its new generation
of inverters. Silicon carbide chips used in power electronics
can improve the efficiency of the battery powertrain by as
much as 6 percent.
When combined, the inverter and electric motor are fine-tuned
to each other to enable their use together in one system. This
results in a system efficiency of up to 97 percent. Bosch is one
of the first suppliers to make this possible for commercial vehicle
applications, resulting in increased range or saved battery
capacity. The company's e-axle combines the power electronics,
electric motor and transmission in a single unit aimed at helping
automakers bring electric vehicles to market faster than before.
Cryogen-Free Magnet Enables Bruker
Benchtop NMR
Using a cryogen-free permanent magnet, Bruker has developed
a new nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer that is benchtop
size and can be routinely used in a wide variety of laboratories.
No infrastructure is needed for the new Fourier 80, making
maintenance easy and cost of ownership minimal.
An 80 MHz system, it can be installed in a fume hood or on a
lab bench yet offers the highest data quality and stability for its
power. With excellent lineshape, resolution and sensitivity, the
performance of the benchtop, combined with an intuitive software
interface, means any lab can now incorporate the definitive
analytical answers only nuclear magnetic resonance can provide,
says Bruker.
