Webinar - Wide bandgap solutions for HVAC systems

Recent heatwaves all over the world are rising the need for access to accessible and performant air conditioners in residential and commercial environments; at the same time, there is a strong push to replace the traditional boilers with heat pumps to provide efficient and clean heating in winter. Both trends show how HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) applications directly impact peoples quality of life.

New emissions standards and minimum efficiency requirements strongly affect the design of air conditioner / heat pump systems, especially the compressor: in this webinar, we will then focus on the power factor correction circuit (PFC) and the inverter for single and three phase systems. We will provide an overview on how new topologies and wide band-gap technologies (SiC and GaN) will influence their performance and cost. We will also provide an overview of Infineon’s innovative package portfolio, showing different levels of integration and assembly options, in order to provide the best solution case by case.

Join this webinar if you are looking to upgrade your existing HVAC systems or want to be ready for next generation solutions, combining highest performance with reduced system cost.

This session will cover:

  • Main trends for PFC and inverter in residential and commercial HVAC systems
  • Key features and benefits of innovative topologies for single and three phase systems
  • How WBG (SiC and GaN) devices are improving system performance with reduced cost
  • Overview of Infineon’s technologies and package portfolio in HVAC PFC and inverter systems, and main collaterals available
