Areca Element HSC-R 48V Rackmount Hybrid Supercapacitor
Areca™ Hybrid Supercapacitors concentrate standby power within a smaller footprint than existing storage options, assisting operators in reclaiming valuable real estate in both inside facilities and outdoor sites. The eco-friendly solution stores energy electrostatically, rather than strictly electrochemically, and poses no risks of chemical leaks or thermal runaway during normal operation, a chemical event that could cause VRLA or lithium-ion batteries to ignite or be shutdown.
ATX’s Areca Element HSC-R 48V Rackmount Hybrid Supercapacitors are designed for 48V environments and are compatible with existing powering systems, enabling service providers to seamlessly and gradually upgrade their battery-based backup infrastructures. The modules, available in 19-inch, 23-inch and 29-inch varieties, feature a 100% Depth-of-Discharge rating and requires minimal maintenance over a 15 to 20-year lifespan. For extended backup power needs, the Areca Element 29-Inch rackmount module can be configured into a system that meets the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) 72-hour backup power duration requirement.
Accelerate Carbon Footprint Reduction:
A cleaner and safer backup powering system than VRLA or Lithium-based alternatives, ATX’s Areca Element Hybrid Supercapacitor Energy Storage solutions speed the migration to more efficient and environmentally friendly standby powering operations, essentially eliminating the risks of chemical leaks or thermal runaway.
Achieve Greater Reliability:
Lightning-fast recharge capabilities, a depth of discharge rate that reaches 100% and the ability to operate within a temperature range of -40 to +60 degrees Celsius means that your inside or outside plant operations will nearly never be without power.
Reduce Total Cost of Ownership:
ATX’s Areca Element Hybrid Supercapacitor Energy Storage solutions’ extended lifespan of as much as 20 years, the requirement of little to no maintenance and related savings in HVAC and facility footprint all add up to exceptional capital and operational savings.
Seamlessly Revitalized Existing Energy Storage Operations:
Areca energy storage modules are compatible with existing enclosures and power management systems, enabling operators to update and revitalize their energy storage operations gradually and without interrupting subscriber services.
Lean on Industry Experts:
ATX’s Areca Element Hybrid Supercapacitor Energy Storage solutions are backed by ATX’s professional services organization, which offers an end-to-end certified battery replacement service that includes site review, uninstalling existing systems, installation of hybrid supercapacitors and a complete battery recycling program.
