The new 'asymmetric' design
used to manufacture ESMA electrochemical capacitors (electric double layer
capacitors, supercapacitors ultracapacitors) has made it possible to create
electrochemical capacitors that store much more energy per unit mass and unit
volume than conventional capacitors and supercapacitors of 'symmetric' design
using aqueous electrolytes.
Distinctive features of ESMA capacitors are
as follows:
- Higher power
- Longer service life
- Faster charge
- Wider operating temperature range
- No maintenance needed (or infrequent maintenance - for
'traction' versions)
- Extremely low self-discharge level
- Safety in operation
- No toxic or flammable materials
Due to the above advantages, ESMA
capacitors can be successfully used in the following applications:
