Double layer capacitor
View Patent ↗A high reliability and low power consumption anti-lock brake system is disclosed. The two pilot valves are controlled so as not to be energized concurrently. The secondary battery of the anti-lock brake system is charged by a power supply and/or a generator. An electric double layer capacitor having a housing made of functionally graded aluminum ceramic material is used as the secondary battery.
1. An electric double layer capacitor comprising (A) a laminated capacitor cell made by laminating a plurality of capacitor unit cells having two activated carbon powder electrodes and sulfuric acid solution, (B) a housing for housing said laminated capacitor cell, and (C) at least one mounting portion for mounting said electric double layer capacitor on another device, characterized in that:
said housing is made of functionally graded aluminum—ceramic material; and
said mounting portion and said housing being formed in one piece.
2. An electric double layer capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein;
said housing has rectangular parallelepiped shape;
a plurality of mounting portions being installed at the bottom of said housing;
said plurality of mounting portions and said housing are formed in one piece;
said plurality of mounting portions being placed in a zigzag arrangement or dispersedly;
said housing is electrically insulated from said electrodes; and
said electrodes being located on one plane of said housing.
3. An electric double layer capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein:
said plurality of capacitor unit cells being serial-connected to each other through electricity;
the output voltage of said laminated capacitor cell per said housing is in the range of 15-60 V DC; and
the capacitance of said laminated capacitor cell per said housing is in the range of 1-100 F.
4. An electric double layer capacitor according to claim 1 , further comprising an LED display for displaying output voltage and remaining capacitance of said electric double layer capacitor.
