HYBRID-VEHICLE COOLING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17692040 titled 'HYBRID-VEHICLE COOLING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a cooling apparatus for hybrid vehicles that includes a radiator, multiple cooling components connected in series and parallel, and an electric motor.

  • The cooling apparatus is designed for hybrid vehicles.
  • It includes a radiator to cool the vehicle's engine.
  • The cooling components are connected in series and parallel to efficiently cool the refrigerant.
  • An electric motor is mounted in the serial-refrigerant-flow section to enhance cooling performance.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various hybrid vehicles, including cars, trucks, and buses, to improve their cooling systems.

Problems Solved

1. Inefficient cooling: The hybrid-vehicle cooling apparatus solves the problem of inefficient cooling by utilizing a combination of serial and parallel cooling components. 2. Overheating: The apparatus helps prevent overheating of the vehicle's engine by efficiently cooling the refrigerant.

Benefits

1. Enhanced cooling performance: The combination of serial and parallel cooling components, along with the electric motor, improves the overall cooling performance of the hybrid vehicle. 2. Energy efficiency: The use of an electric motor in the cooling system reduces energy consumption and improves the vehicle's overall efficiency. 3. Compact design: The hybrid-vehicle cooling apparatus is designed to be compact, allowing for easy installation in various vehicle models.


Original Abstract Submitted

A hybrid-vehicle cooling apparatus includes a radiator, a plurality of serial-connection cooling components serially disposed to be sequentially supplied with a refrigerant discharged from the radiator, a plurality of parallel-connection cooling components disposed to be in parallel supplied with the refrigerant flowing through the plurality of serial-connection cooling components, and an electric motor mounted in a serial-refrigerant-flow section formed by the plurality of serial-connection cooling components.
