| Use advice for data set | Users of the LCA data for aluminum electrolytic capacitor production should note that the inventory data reflects operations at a specific factory in Jiangsu Province, China, and may not be representative of all production locations. It includes inputs such as raw material consumption, energy use, and outputs including potential emissions. The reference years for upstream data (aluminum ingots and Chinese electricity grid profiles) are 2015 and 2016 respectively; these should be considered when modeling the environmental impact over different time frames. Care should be taken when applying the data to ensure it aligns accordingly with the regional and temporal context of the product life cycle. Additionally, inaccessible data about certain chemicals was estimated; this should be taken into account when accurate emission data is critical. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Aluminum electrolytic capacitors produced in this process are used for a variety of electronic equipment due to their high voltage and capacitance properties. Typically, they are found in power supplies, inverters, and other devices requiring stable and long-lasting energy storage solutions. The capacitors, especially the 420V 680uf units, are designed for specific applications that demand reliable performance in energy regulation and circuit functionality. |
