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 thermal management system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves determining the outdoor air fraction (OAF) based on the temperature of a battery.
  • When the temperature of the battery increases, the OAF also increases.
  • Conversely, when the temperature of the battery decreases, the OAF decreases.
  • The OAF is used to regulate the intake of outdoor air into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles that have a battery-powered thermal management system.
  • It can be used to optimize the cooling or heating of the passenger compartment based on the temperature of the battery.

Problems Solved:

  • The method addresses the challenge of efficiently managing the thermal conditions in a vehicle, particularly when it comes to the battery temperature.
  • By dynamically adjusting the outdoor air intake based on the battery temperature, the system can maintain optimal conditions for both the battery and the passengers.

Benefits:

  • Improved battery performance and longevity by regulating its temperature effectively.
  • Enhanced comfort for passengers by ensuring the passenger compartment is appropriately cooled or heated.
  • Energy efficiency is optimized by adjusting the outdoor air intake based on the battery temperature, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.


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.
