48 Volt DC/DC Converter (air cooled)
The 48 Volt Eco Drive system from Continental has been developed for cost-efficient mass hybridization. Powertrain electrification below the safety-relevant 60 Volt level is far less expensive compared to high voltage hybridization – and yet highly efficient. The 48 Volt DC/DC converter connects the 48 Volt boardnet and 12 Volt boardnet. It provides a stable power supply even if the engine is switched off, e.g. during advanced stop-start and coasting.
