Entladens

Entladens is a term that appears primarily in German-language technical writing and is derived from the verb entladen, meaning to unload or discharge. Used as a noun or in nominalized form, it denotes the act or result of releasing stored energy, material, or information from a system. The form Entladens is typically the genitive singular of Entladung or a nominalized form used in compound terms, for example Entladenskurve (discharge curve) or Entladenszeit (discharge time).

In electrical engineering and energy storage research, Entladens refers to the process by which a device such as a capacitor, battery, or supercapacitor releases stored energy. It covers discharge characteristics, residual charge, safety considerations, and control strategies to achieve a complete or intended discharge profile. The concept is often analyzed through discharge curves, time constants, and efficiency measurements.

In other domains, the term may appear in contexts describing the release of stored energy or content from systems, including mechanical, hydraulic, or magnetic stores. In these uses, Entladens generally aligns with the broader idea of discharging or unloading a resource under predefined conditions, and may be contrasted with charging or loading phases.

English-language sources typically prefer the more general terms discharge or unloading, while Entladens remains primarily a German-language expression found in technical manuals, research papers, and standards. See also Entladung, discharge, unloading.
