METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956280 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for controlling a vehicle's thermal management system based on the temperature of the battery. The system determines an outdoor air fraction (OAF) that increases as the battery temperature increases and decreases as the battery temperature decreases.
- The method controls the vehicle's thermal management system.
- The outdoor air fraction (OAF) is determined based on the battery temperature.
- The OAF increases as the battery temperature increases.
- The OAF decreases as the battery temperature decreases.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various vehicles that have a thermal management system, such as electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and conventional vehicles.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient battery temperature control: The method allows for effective control of the vehicle's thermal management system, ensuring optimal battery temperature regulation. 2. Energy conservation: By adjusting the outdoor air fraction based on the battery temperature, the system can minimize energy consumption and improve overall efficiency.
Benefits
1. Enhanced battery performance: Maintaining the battery at an optimal temperature can extend its lifespan and improve its performance. 2. Energy efficiency: The method helps to optimize energy usage by adjusting the outdoor air fraction, resulting in reduced energy consumption and improved efficiency. 3. Improved passenger comfort: By effectively managing the vehicle's thermal system, the method can provide a comfortable temperature inside the passenger compartment.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for controlling a vehicle thermal management system includes determining an outdoor air fraction (OAF) based on a temperature of a battery when the outdoor air intake into a passenger compartment is required, wherein the OAF increases as the temperature of the battery increases, and the OAF decreases as the temperature of the battery decreases.
